Used to deer hunt many years ago with a Winchester 94 30-30 (sold it, dumb) and would like to add a good all around hunting rifle
We had not been around the block yet.I thought we settled this on a .308 bolt gun?
Arrrhhhgh...Blasphemy.......AE models make scope mounting easy, and it can be bubba'd into a tactical marvel if desired.
Those shoot well too. Surprisingly well if you're used to an M-77.My other thought would be a Ruger American in .308. Nice balance, crazy accurate, dirt cheap, cheap ammo, and can be used for larger game should your targets change in time.
