I have a dilemma. I don't know which gun I should get. I'd be hunting whitetail in the Maine woods. The appeal of the 336 is that it actually has iron sights! No rifles these days have sights! It's ridiculous. The ATR would need to be scoped. So the question I guess is in the round. I know I know, 30-30 has killed more deer than any other cartridge. Is it really a desirable cartridge? Is it brush-buster enough for the Maine woods? I know .308 is not a problem, it's the round my grandfather and father hunted with. Both rifles are economically priced. In terms of buying a scope, I would probably get the 30-30 scoped in the future but at least I wouldn't need to do it right away.
I ask because I did something really special for my wife this weekend and she felt bad that she hadn't gotten anything for Valentine's day, so I said "How bout permission to buy a hunting rifle??" It worked.
