Hunting Rifles For Sale In California
What is the absolute smallest caliber for a rifle you could show up on a Texas Game Ranch with for Deer?
Axis, Fallow, Sika, Eld's Deer, Pere David's Deer.
What is the smallest caliber? .22-250, or .243?
I have just undergone major surgery on my chest. When I get better, I am going to spent some money on myself, and go hunting on a Texas Game park. But right now, any recoil just kills me. I am read something to the effect that a lot of deer near the Texas Mexican Border is actually quite small, and they use the .22-250. In fact, I have heard the only reason Browning chambers their lever action rifle in .22-250 is Texas sales. I have also heard that since Texas has a much larger section of the population hunt than say, California or New York, that their hunting population includes a lot of people who don't necessarily enjoy recoil all that much. Finally, I have heard that the Winchester 92 was extremely popular in Texas, and that Texans got used to using low recoil rifles for deer.
Is any of this true?
I think that the reasons you described above are at least part of the reason for the development of the .224 TTH/ .22-6mm. There are many examples of successful deer hunts with .22 caliber rounds. I know someone who took several good sized mule deer with a .222 Rem. So it obviously can be done. There are several good heavy weight 22-250 rounds available that are designed for larger sized game that should work just fine.
On the other hand I usually like the idea of shooting with a caliber that is just a bit larger than the "bare minimum". If you can handle the recoil of a .243 you can also probably handle a .257 Roberts as they recoil pretty similarly with the .257 being even better for deer.
My suggestion would be to take both use the .257/.243 while you can and then you can switch to the 22-250 if the recoil of the larger gun begins to get to you. You should also probably bring it up with the ranch when you schedule the hunt.
