[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 308690, member: 810"] I've hunted all my life with the first deer rifle I ever picked off the shelf; a model 88 winchester. Being a lefty and back then kinda hard to find that left hand bolt, it's been q pretty darn good lever rifle for me. I've always shot 100 gr. I'd pound rounds into a target at 25 yards with practice, practice, practice. I'd always wanted to be 1 inch below bulls eye to be on at about 200 yards. One shot at 100 yards to verify (slightly high at 100) and one shot at 200 to verify was all the practice I needed. Never ever lost a whitetail that was hit by my .243. I did buy another Model 88 again after they quit making them. Alot of guys in our hunting party back in the day also shot levers, most of them being Savage models and most in .243 caliber. Good luck with the daughter. Teach and guide her right and you will have a hunting partner for life. [/QUOTE]
