Rifles for Ohio woods, fields and ranges

Buying a rifle in Ohio starts with one question: is it for deer? If so, it must fire a straight-walled cartridge between .357 and .50 caliber, which is why .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster and .45-70 outsell the classic bottleneck rounds here. A .223, .22-250 or .308 still earns its place on groundhogs and coyotes across the flat farm country of the northwest, and a .22 rimfire is the traditional squirrel rifle in the oak and hickory ridges of the Appalachian southeast. Competitive shooters have Camp Perry on the Lake Erie shore, home of the National Matches, as a reason to own something accurate. Rifle buyers must be 18.
