Which caliber of rifle is best for deer hunting?
Unless you reload and can, 'roll your own' I'd suggest you stay away from the 300 Win. Mag. Most of your choices indicate that you intend to take game at considerable range. Are you out West? I, personally, like the 243 Win. which is, I admit, a, 'marginal round' in the hands of many hunters. Here, in the Northeast, the most popular deer hunting cartridges include: 30-30 Win., 35 Rem., 45-70 Gov., 243 Win., 270 Win., 308 Win., and (Of course) the king of them all, the 30-06 Springfield. (Which I'm surprised you didn't mention.) ;) PS: I'm glad Jack O'Connor liked his 270 Winchester; but I don't. If I'm going to get my shoulder beat up like that it just as well should be 30-06!
What animals can be hunted with a high power .177 pellet rifle?
I trust CF45 that the RWS 34 may be a sturdy decision for a small interest airgun (squirrel and rabbit). that is have been given approximately 15 feet-lbs of muzzle power and would furnish looking accuracy out to 35-40 yards interior the palms of somebody familiar with the artillery carry. i might upload the Gamo huge Cat as an decision in case you like something somewhat greater on your funds because of the fact it may provide comparable power with looking accuracy out to 30-35 yards. The Benjamin 392/397 might additionally be a respectable decision. it fairly is somewhat much less efficient at 11-12 feet-lbs of muzzle power, besides the undeniable fact that it nonetheless has quite a few power for photos out to 30 yards it fairly is approximately so a techniques because it is going to furnish looking accuracy. in case you elect to spend the money for something somewhat greater high priced you have have been given a pair stable ideas. considering which you added the survival caveat, i'll bypass over PCP airguns from the record considering that they require the two a separate extreme-stress air (HPA) pump or scuba tank to fill them. besides the undeniable fact that spring piston airguns surely might greater healthy the bill. Tthe RWS 350 that CF45 pronounced might surely be a sturdy decision, particularly in .22 (5.5mm) high quality. Ditto on the Walther Falcon Hunter/Talon Magnum and the Benjamin path NP XL. Given the flexibility point of all 3 weapons (in a techniques greater suitable than 20 feet-lbs) i does no longer problem with .177 (4.5mm) for any of them. Or in case you elect on something somewhat lighter, there is the BSA Supersport which might have sufficient power for rabbits, squirrels, etc... out to approximately 30 yards and which has a popularity for stable reliability and accuracy. As for utilising an air-rifle for survival looking... offered that is legal to seek with an air-rifle the place you reside/hike i do no longer see a situation with utilising it for a survival looking gadget offered you already know the obstacles of airguns. Even the leading, small-bore airguns are actually not a sturdy decision for animals greater suitable than a raccoon, possum, etc... And quite a few the weapons i've got pronounced are mostly small-interest (rabbit, squirrel) weapons. as long as you're actually not waiting for something greater suitable than that, they ought to artwork fantastic.
Hunting With A .22 Cal Rifle In Michigan?
Almost any place that sells ammo will have a small pamphlet letting you know what is in season. You need a hunting license to hunt in Michigan. Hunting deer requires a center fire weapon and a .22 is a rim fire. Squirrels and rabbits are what most people use .22 for. You must be outside of the city limits and have permission of the land owner to hunt on private land. Your local conservation officer or the Department of Natural Resources can tell you were you may hunt on state land and when. They also can tell you what is in season too.
I have looked at the ballistics of the 30-30 it's lower than every deer caliber like 270, 243, 30-06 308?
I question your question. Specifically, the 30-30 was designed to use early SMOKELESS POWDER and have all the power a person needs for broadside lung hits on big deer or modest elk in the less than 100 yards you can actually see in the deer woods, the bigger 170 grain bullets being for the larger creatures. Note that ALL the other rounds you mention are POWERFUL military hardware, or such adapted to hunting. Granted that while a lot of the woods is gone, and longer shots DO happen these days than before, even the modest 243 delivers the proscribed 1000 ft-lb at 400 yards, which is 100 yards farther than hunters can hit accurately at during real world hunting. I personally have come to terms with the fact much of hunting is about hunting hunting, and I rationalize the almost unavoidable overkill these days as safety margin.
Ar15 conversion kit, to hunting caliber?
The AR-15 can take a 6.8mm or 6.5mm upper for deer hunting. No one is now making a .270 Win. upper (long action, .30-06 parent case) and you'd have to own an AR-10 (.308/7.62mm) lower to snap on a .243 or 7mm-08 (which use the .308 as a "parent case") upper. Remington now sells the R-15 and R-25 (AR-15, AR-10 style) rifles in partnership with AR makers. They have just released what might be the best answer to your query: the .30 Remington AR (http://accurateshooter.wordpress.com/200... It will go on the AR-15 and gives .30-30-like ballistics. (See http://www.rifleshootermag.com/ammunitio... This allows AR-15 owners to step up to a shorter range .30. The 6.8 SPC is a .270 that fits into the AR-15 platform. I hunt deer with a Stag Arms in 6.8. It does great. These are out by many manufacturers. See http://www.google.com/products?q=6.8++up... I haven't seen the Remington 30 uppers out yet (as in available for separate sale--but I'd love to see a link if someone finds one), but they are supposed to be coming soon. Here's the R-15 in .30 (whole AR) Remington for sale: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=180084124.
The M4 rifles the military uses in Afghanistan are what caliber? Why did they choose this ammo? Snipers use?
M4 rifles are chambered .223/5.56 nato. They use it because its low recoil and still powerful enough to get the job done. I believe Snipers use .308 .338 lapua and .50 bmg in their rifles,they might also have a few others,Im not 100% sure because im not a sniper. Contrary to what you see in games and movies,snipers rarely use .50 bmg to kill people,its more to stop vehicles I may be wrong,If I am some one with more knowledge on this subject will correct it.
Well, first we need to consider your training and experience, do you shoot now?Assuming you don’t have any experience with firearms, I would start by renting or borrowing a 22LR and practice shooting with it - this will be good for small game animals - check your local hunting regulations.Once you have mastered the 22LR then depending upon regulations for the game you intend to hunt I would have hoped you have made friends at the range and let them show you what they are shooting and maybe try some of their guns.I will say one of my favorite guns for hunting as a youth was a combination gun - this is a break open that has two barrels - one a shotgun (20 ga on mine) and a rifle barrel (22 LR on mine) - it allowed me to take one shot with each caliber.These can be found in .410, 20 ga, and 12 ga with rifle barrels ranging from 22 LR to 30–30
