Since Im hearing impaired, which rifle is more powerful?

Question

.300 Win Mag, PTR-91 (.308), .375 H&H rifle? I know PTR-91 is not really for hunting. I got it for fun. Im seeking the best deer rifle on the market.

Thanks!

PTR-91 is a german semi-auto rifle. Similar to this one - http://www.tmcarms.com/PTR-91%20riflepage_files/PTR-91-10.jpg

Answer 1

If all you're hunting is deer all you need is a .25-06 or a .270; a .308 will do fine but the .300 Mags and certainly the .375 H&H are overkills for deer.

Best.

Answer 2

The .375 H&H is way more powerful than the others you have listed. Next down the list would be the .300 Win Mag and then the .308. I am not familiar with the PTR-91, but the .308 cartridge is deadly on deer and not on your shoulder.

Answer 3

I have to agree with others; I'm confused as to what hearing has to do with anything? I am also confused that you ask about power, yet mention it's not really for hunting & yet want the "best deer rifle". "Best" is a subjective term; what's best for one hunter & hunting area may not be best for another. Where will you be hunting these deer? That is a major factor in what rifle & caliber to choose; or even if you should choose a shotgun since rifles are illegal in some locations.

In my opinion the .308 is the most versatile & the .30 -.30 is one of the most tried & true. Too much power (.30 -.06 & up) & you will end up losing fatally wounded deer in dense cover, too little power or poor shot placement will do the same. You don't need a lot of power to drop deer, I regularly kill them with a $79 SKS in 7.62 x 39 & I've never had one take a single step after being hit. The SKS is my favorite deer rifle because it's cheap so damage to the rifle from the outdoors doesn't bother me, it's handy in dense brush even if the front sight hood snags on vines a little more than I would like & it's very flat shooting out to around 150 - 200 yards.

Answer 4

The .375 H&H is more powerful. Both of those rifles are WAY too big for deer hunting. NOT necessary. Both of those rounds will cause WAY too much damage to small game like deer. They are meant for BIG game.
Perhaps you are an amateur and think you need a REAL noisy gun that kicks like a mule to hunt. BIG mistake. You will be completely deaf in no time, flinching in no time, and NEVER learn to shoot correctly.
By the way, the PTR-91 is an assault type of rifle. If you are thinking about using it for hunting, forget about hunting deer and join the army instead. Weapons of this type are NOT meant for hunting except in the imagination of NON-sportsmen.

For deer hunting a 30-30, sporterized .303, or .270 is more than enough bullet to do the job. Even a 30-06 is really too big. I never did like the .308 for various reasons.

Answer 5

What on earth would the power of a rifle have to do with your hearing?

And why do you need a "powerful" rifle for deer? You don't, it's a simple as that.

.300WM is way too much rifle for deer and most shooters. I'm a recoil junkie and bruise my shoulder on a regular basis just for fun, so trust me on this. In a lot of people it creates some really bad accuracy problems.

While the H&H .375 Magnum is one of the most useful and legendary calibers ever made, it's use on deer is also questionable and the cost of ammo will kill you.

Get a regular bolt-action rifle in .308, since you already have a .308 and get some Federal shok ammo for deer.

Answer 6

The 375 H&H is by far the most powerful rifle of those listed. None of them except the .308 would be suitable for deer hunting.

Answer 7

The 30-06 is all you would ever need in North America.*

Answer 8

I lost my hearing in the Army, so what does being hearing impaired have to do with which gun is more powerful? Just looking at what you wrote I would say the .375 H&H would be the most powerful. Do you mean the most "noisy"

That grow to be i'm thinking each and every time i pass to video clips! i grow to be thinking we might desire to constantly have a room for deaf/listening to impaired people yet they do no longer seem to be obtainable. a number of you're conscious of this yet in my section the place the cinemas are, there are desires for deaf/listening to impaired people. They do have subtitles for deaf/listening to impaired people yet they do no longer seem to be on the reveal by way of fact people think of this is distracting. Pathetic, eh? Now decrease back to the subtitles, they provide you this reflector so which you will put in a place the place you hold your bottle or soda in, and you examine the subtitles off the reflector. the place do subtitles come from? particularly, it comes from the decrease back of the cinema. this is variety of like replicate. think of you're putting your make up and utilising a replicate, and once you seem in the replicate, you will discover stuff or people at the back of you. same situation for subtitles in cinemas in my section. i in my view wish they have a room that are for deaf/listening to impaired people yet oh nicely. i've got faith the completed international might desire to have each and every little thing what deaf/listening to impaired desires. Oh nicely......... EDIT: The person who responded approximately headphones. nicely I went to a cinema and that they gave me a headphone, so i attempted it on and it would not artwork for the hell's sake! What the hell!?!?
