Well, as I'm getting into the basics of hunting and wanting to start out with the right equipment for me, I am reaching out to any and everyone who has some helpful advice.
I'm trying to decide on what caliber rifle to purchase that will suit me the best for deer hunting. I don't have much experience shooting rifle's but have been shooting handguns since I was a child. I don't know if I could handle to powerful of a rifle as I only weigh about 130 to 135 max. So, I'm probably going to be looking for something that doesn't have a lot of kick to it and just doesn't have that bad of recoil.
I know when I was younger one of my friend's used to go deer hunting with a .22 rifle, but I believe I'm looking for something a little more powerful then that unless that would get the job done for me.
Hello. One of the guns that fits what you explained is a 25.06. It is a good size but not an over the top magmun. If you are just using it for deer I think it is a good, fast, flat shooting gun. There is also a .243 not a bad gun but shot placement is a little more important. Hope the hunt for the gun goes well.
