I want to hunt pronghorn out west next fall. I own a PTR91 but I don't think it's ideal for this so I'm gonna buy a new gun and train. This is also just an excuse to add a bolt gun to my collection. I'm thinking a bolt action in 6.5 sneedmoar with like a 3-9x scope. Although the CVA single shot rifles look kind of fun. What do you guys think?
>>64254861Arizona hunter here. My mountain durr gun is a sniper LARP... Ruger Scout in .308, Vortex 4-16 with the EBR-2C Christmas tree reticle.
>>64254861>pronghorn out west>ideal >buy a new gunI live "out west" and in pronghorn country and have seen them daily. Imho, .257 Roberts is good, .25-06 is great and .257 Weatherby is greatest. .308 will do just fine.
>>64255259Bro.
pronghorns evolved to run so fast and so long due a species of huge long legged bear.that same bear is credited with keeping humans out of New World until recently.many consider it the most fearsome land predator of all time, because T-Rex probably not able to maintain any speed and not as smart or maneuverable.
>>64254861an accurate bolt gun in .270 Winchester. I like my Weatherby Vanguard. Shoots less than 1 MOA from a benchrest, so if I miss, I know it's my fault. Scope in the 15x power should suffice. Don't skimp on scope rings. Bad rings will ruin a build, I know first hand.
>>64255273I mean yeah I know 308 will kill them dead but I don't think my PTR is a great fit, it's heavy and optics mounting will be awkward and all I keep stacked for it is dogshit M80 ball. So I figure if I'm going to be buying a new gun and some nicer ammunition to get acclimated to it anyway I might as well get into 6.5cm or 270 for the better performance.
