[QUOTE="Lakenut, post: 3465994, member: 30258"] Savage makes a solid gun although I would pony up and get the non-entry level gun. My girls started off with a .243. It does a number on whitetails but shot placement is crucial.(isn’t it always) My oldest hit a nice buck a bit forward once. It should have killed the deer but it didn’t. I moved up to a 7mm08. Soft shooting round that is a bit more forgiving with shot placement. My youngest had a similar shot this year and the buck walked 25 yards and dropped. Another idea is the 6.5 cm. I wouldn’t overlook the 6.5 cm as one can normally find ammo everywhere. [/QUOTE]
