Wanted: 423 rifle

mexximelt · Mar 6, 2013

I'm looking for a 423 rifle to use to go deer hunting with. Anybody have one they're willing to sell?

Can't remember when I last saw a 423

My first consideration would be the availability of ammo in hunting grade bullet design...................Do you plan to reload?

Mexximelt, Welcome to PSF!

To directly answer your WTB inquiry, i do not have a .423 for sale...
...but an inquiring mind wants to know...are you fond of field-dressing your deer with a .423 bullet, or might you have meant a ".243 Winchester" with which to harvest your deer?

If so, a .243 Win. is an excellent cartridge for whitetails in these parts--- alas and again, I also have not a .243 for sale, but i wish you luck finding an excellent rifle to your liking.
if you wish to edit your post, just click the 'edit' button and proceed. If I am presuming too much, my sincere apologies and I would be happy to direct you to some dedicated dangerous game forums where your need might meet with better fortune.

Again, welcome.. pretty good bunch here

no offense, i was thinking i was missing not knowing what a 423 was. :lol:

i can understand a 243. my wife uses a Rem 700 youth 243 for deer hunting. not for sale though.

it was a sale, or rebate, around $300. at walmart.

Not sure what he is looking for but A friend of mine had a Golden Eagle rifle chambered in 423 Dakota. That rifle cost around $1600 in 1994
Only one of that caliber I've ever seen

I see reloading components from time to time and always whistle when I do. The last time I remember seeing the bullets they where like 55.00 for 50 boolits. I shudder to think what loaded ammo is going for. They were 400gr. bonded hunting bullets. A might heavy for our deer around here. I hope he means .243.
