[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 324082, member: 8516"] I'm in whitetail country. I have, but don't need, three variations of basically the same caliber: 7.62x51, 7.62x54, and 30-06 (which is arriving whenever a friend drops it off.) All MBR calibers. 7.62x51 with two lug mauser action, 7.62x54 Mosin Nagant 44, and really don't know about the '06. Friend needed money and wouldn't take a loan, so.... Never really used the Win 94 I had, and the 7.62x51 is all I've ever needed up here. Shots are mostly 100-225 yards over open fields as the deer feed in early morning. The WWII calibers all shoot pretty much the same to my way of thinking. Got the Mosin-Nagant because they were giving them away and back when I bought it, FMJ rounds were of negligible cost. Shoot the first two over open sites, although the x51 can be turned into a Scout format simply by putting a 2.3x Leupold back on it. Think the 06 will come with a cheap scope...dunno. [/QUOTE]
