I have just been invited to go deer hunting with my wife's uncle. He owns a 300 acre ranch in South Dakota with rights to hunt the 1000 acre ranch next to it. My dilemma is that i don't have any rifles capable of killing deer out to 400 yds. I only bow hunt here in maryland. And all my rifles are C&R mausers and mosins. I have two different choices I am considering. I have an AR stripped lower that I was going to do a precision gun build with in .223. Are there any ar15 compatible calipers capable of having the muzzle energy to kill deer at 400yds? My second option is to simply Go and buy a bolt gun I was considering a Remington 700 in 300 win mag. Please feel free to give me any and all opinions I am open to all suggestions just give me some facts to help back em up.
