    Brno 98/22 in 7mm mauser

    6.5 Grendel is my new go to round. It has more ass than 5.56, can shoot flatter & farther than 7.62x39.
    If i was going to stick to traditional hunting rounds .270 would be my go to gun in the safe. Just my .02

    Out of your list id go with the Mauser.

    Your correct... but my response at the bottom of my post is Mauser. So i gave my opinion of what i like & replied to the options the OP posted.

    Thanks for all the input. I do plan to purchase a hunting rifle before deer season. I still don't know what to get yet. A friend of mine invited me out to his ranch to hunt. So I was wondering if I had to take something I had what should I take. That's how this question came about.

    Mostly depends on what you want to hunt and the range. What might be the best all around is a lever action 30-30 (I love my Marlin and she loves me). An AR-10 might be good. I like my M1A for range and energy, she'll drop pigs and deer at 100-200 yards like they were right in front of me. But most other people here will have more experience than me.

    Out of everything on your list: the 7mm.

    Also...pics of the vz52 would be appreciated. I like those rifles.

    I will send you some. I picked it up about 2 years ago along with 500 rounds of ammo. I never shot it though. Yeah I know it's weird.

    In the woods...
    7x57, for sure out of the given choices. Kilmanjoro Bell killed 1,000's of elephants with it, even though his was labeled .257 Rigby (same thing).
