Good one ears...
And Rocky, that 25/308 sounds interesting but an awful lot like an old favorite, 250/3000. Probably getting a bit more velocity huh? Tell me more........
Guys, this thread was started "Tongue in cheek" simply as a play on a previous thread. There is "NO" perfect deer rifle. It is too personal of a choice between folks. They are all perfectly capable of doing what is necessary. The perfect rifle? Mine or yours or his or hers. Whichever YOU have the most confidence in.
If you want to debate something, debate the value of bullet construction. Do you want it to use ALL of the energy available and stay within the target (No exit hole) or something to blow on through not knowing how much of its energy was used but having an exit hole? Afterall, it is the BULLET that kills, not the caliber. JMHO
Take care and NO FIGHTING
