Ya 2 different 300 win mags lol and ars 300 win is a great caliber. My Rem 700 has over 30 animals under its belt everything from bull elk, to Axis to black buck antelope. Still has the Simmons Aetec I bought with it in 1998 when I had No money. Great gun

Ok green 2506 bdl heavy contour old redfeild 3x9 243 model 70 same scope 220 swift ruger red pad light barrel even oldee scope 308 short barrel ruger 3x9 Leopold Only 2 weeends till the hunt and not much time to hit the range all shoot 1 inch high at 100 yards I can't imaging a antelope hunt that doesn't involved a bunch of walking I am a sucker for a 308 , make is reasonable to carry and good optic bonus the 243 as a second choice , depending on how the redfield is and the barrel contour it could go first I like Danny have a Go To do most anything Rifle it is a 308 with a 2-7 vortex , it is always ready to walk out the door with 15 rounds and sighted in for 200 yards I keep another 50 or so rounds loaded for it with components to for more.

No particular reason . First gun was a 243 . I run a model 70 .270 now on all 3 , antelope , deer , elk . What ever you choose I'm sure the antelope won't care ......lol I'm no expert but I run my .270 at 2-1/2 " high at 100yrds so my 0-300 range is a no adjust . Your caliber and ammo May differ of course Good luck on your hunt , sounds like a blast and no better wild game than antelope IMO

.25-06 is what I'd take. It gives you more killing range than the others.
The .243 should work, but will limit your range.
The Swift is unsuitable for big game, imho. It's a varmint/furbearer round.
Now I'll duck.

The .257 bullet would not be affected by wind as much as the other 2. A little bit of wind can sure mess with the Swift.

.223 and 22-250 is a common round out here the bigger rounds can do more damage then needed.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I've never hunted Antelope ,having said that I've got a .257 Roberts that I've used on whitetail that Id bet would make a dandy Antelope round.
