I dont believe in all around hunting gun. It depends on the game you are after. a magnum .300 rifle would cover most of your hunting needs. A three way tie between a .22 rimfire rifle, a shotgun, and some kind of centerfire rifle that you shoot well. The combination on these three would do you well in most of the world. (but not for dangerous game, say in Africa.)

What is the average size of a hunting rifle bullet?

Game of all size and shape is hunted, and the calibre varies in accordance with what it is you're hunting. If you're hunting elk, you're not going to use the same calibre you would hunt squirrel with, and vice versa. A hunting rifle is simply a rifle which is used for hunting - that in itself doesn't determine what's being hunted, and it would be impossible to determine an average calibre, given that not every hunting rifle was a purpose built rifle - some hunters, for example, used decommissioned military rifles such as the SKS.


What is the recommended scope and ammo type for a Stevens model 200 7mm?

The type of ammunition and scope is depedant upon the intended use of the rifle. If it is for hunting you should consider the Leupold Rifleman 3-9 x 40. The price new from Walmart is 200 dollars. This is an excellent scope for the money. As for ammunition, you have to find out what your rifle likes to shoot best. The only way to do that is to try various brands and makes and see which groups the best through your rifle. You could have two Stevens Rifles and one might shoot a particular brand in tiny little groups while the other might not shoot that brand well at all. For hunting you need a hunting bullet. There are many now so you have a wide wide choice. All of the premium hunting bullets are good but different ones are better for different game so if you are going after deer make sure the bullets you test are suitied for deer. After you have identified a few brands you want to try, take your rifle to the range and test shoot them. When you determine which brand and make your rifle shoots best go back to the store and get a few boxes of that stuff and hold on to it. You want to make sure its the same lot number as the one that tested well through your Stevens. Oh yeah, the ammo can vari from lot to lot. Good luck.


What is the best rifle cartridge for medium range 300-400 yards varmint hunting?

at these ranges, the stability of the bullet is very important and i like a heavier round such as the .308. most smaller rounda are more fickle about the bullet/barrel combo The 243 Winchester is a awesome round to knock down small-medium game at 300 yards-plus as long as the rifle is equipped with a suitable scope. That's my opinion and experience.
