Hunting Guns

The most commonly used rifle’s used for hunting are the 243 Winchester and 6 mm Remington. Many other rifles can be used; which one is used depends on the animal you are hunting. For elk hunting a 7mm or 280 Remington would be the best chose. If you would like to use a bigger gun like the 30 caliber magnums or a 338 Winchester Magnum; bear hunting is preferred for this rifle.

When I hunt I have three guns I choose from. When I hunt big game I use a 243 Winchester lever action. It is the only gun I will use to hunt big game with. When I hunt water fowl I use my 12 gage shot gun pump action. The scatter shot rounds for a 12 gage work better then slugs for bird hunting. For small game like rabbits, prairie dogs, and squirrels I use a 22 Remington lever action.
