[QUOTE="db-2, post: 190678, member: 4743"] luvcatching bass I agree with your comment. did hunt once with a 243 in a model 88 win. umpteen years ago I bought a 7mm08 in a youth rifle for the kids and now my grandkids use the same gun. why a 7mm08, no real reason except that is what I order and bought and at the time not every store carried the shells. My dad started me with a pre 64 model 70 win in 222. BB gun might of been better. Lucky I never hit one with it to find out. But I did graduate to a model 94 in 30-30 for many years ( i believe my dad paid 50 dollars for it and it has increase in value better than my couple of bucks in savings has). My cousin had a 222 also and trust me, they did lack the killing power. However back in those days my uncle used a 22 HP in a savage 99. My brother had a 22 k hornet in a pre 64 model. The real boys would go to the VFW or Legion and get a 30-06 springfield, enfield, or 30-40 krag. Jordan buck with a model 92 25-20 and one day I need to decide to use that or if my model 73 in 32-20 would do the job. Guess what, they all worked. The natives around home used their 22 year round for the meat. Just like Dodge, Chevy and Ford. One has this and the other has that. But Dodge has it all. db [/QUOTE]
