Lots of good advice on here for the original post. I like 30-06, 308 and 300 win mag. Over the years I’ve learned that the rifle has limitations and so do us shooters. Hitting bowling pins at 250yds and no problem hitting running yotes at 200 would be tough for a lot on here. I usually carry my 308 savage for moose and I’m very confident at 150 yds and comfortable up to 200. Over 200 is out of my comfort zone, so no shot for me. My advice is to know your rifle as well as your personal limits. Good luck!

My point was, don’t disregard the accuracy of a pump action. Bolts are normally accurate, but pumps and semi’s can be as well.

Nice, my 30-06 rem semi dose not and few others I've seen don't, 250 yards isn't that far when talking distance with a rifle, and a bowling pin is a pretty big target so I would hope you can hit that.
just my experience with semis, one shot and done not a spray and pray method like most people with semis.

Rick, what's better eating, the bowling pins or the yotes? Almost a toss up I bet!

I just checked the ads out. Either one of those rifles would be an excellent choice for the OP.
