My goal is to go deer hunting next season. For a number of reasons, the main one being cost of ammo, I've decided to go with .223 bolt rifle. Do you guys have any recommendations on a good rifle, my price range is $500-$900 (without scope).
And also what kind of effective range would it have?
Thanks
One good recommendation is to choose a caliber that is legal for deer in Washington.
A 223 is not legal for deer in this state.240/6mm size or bigger.
223 IS legal for cats and other small game.
Not bear,they are considered big game and you have to use deer or elk legal weapons.
