These guys disagree with RS’s caliber choices

Just to increase my post count.
The simple answer is a gut shot on a deer with a 22LR vs a 300 Win Mag. Don't forget the DRT aspect.

Both of those will kill the deer with that "one shot". Both will take a long time for the deer to die and result in a "not fun" tracking job as well.

Not a great comparison.
 
It just proves anyone can get published online. I wouldn't put too much into what the author wrote after seeing that he posted this hero picture on Instagram of his "Colorado mule deer". Bucks like that fall to nothing less than the "lord's cartridge".

I hate to stick up for this tw@t but it talks about several kills and has at least 5 pics on that post so he MIGHT not actually be calling that 2 year old whitetail a mule deer. At least I hope not. According to your logic that might be his largest feral hog in the picture...
To your point ANYONE who thinks a 2 year old kid is good for games, activities, and travel is lying to themselves!
 
I’ve heard so many good things about the 222 and 50gr soft points. I have been looking for one for a couple years now and they were either a Savage 340 with that wonky scope mount, or they were a $1500 Sako. This T3 was a great middle ground.

Every time I see a pic like this it makes me feel a little better about the mess that is my work bench. lol. Is that 222 a special order rifle or is it a normal caliber for Tikka? Thanks.

lol, I usually clean my workbench off at least once a quarter!

I believe that the 222 Rem is a standard chamber offering in the T3X, but there just aren’t many of them imported into the US. The used ones that I have come across have both been the older T3 model.

You realize that is a mule deer in that photo... If you don't, please take the time to learn the difference.
