I'm in the market for a new deer rifle with a few parameters:
1. My max range will be about be about 200 yards
2. I don't mind recoil but I shoot softer kicking guns a lot better
3. Cost can't be more than $400 without glass
4. It must come with sling studs!
5. The cheaper the better
I have been hunting with a 30-30 for a few years now but it limits my stand location quite a bit. The M94 is great to carry and will certainly continue to be used but the sights stink and it isn't the most accurate rifle but it is PLENTY powerful. I guess the bigger issue is that the Winchester will never be allowed to wear a scope and with a 200 yard shot and antler point restrictions, a scope will be nice. That being said my last few shots have been at 50, 30, and 20 yards
Also recommend calibers please.... 22-250, .243, 30-30, .308, .270, 30-06.
Thanks
