I'll be applying for a deer tag here in southern AZ this year. I'm starting to look into rifle options. I've got several rifles, but my 6.5 Grendel AR-15 is the only rifle I own that would be even remotely suitable for deer hunting. So, that's one option, however...
I really want a .45-70 lever action rifle, most likely a Marlin Guide Gun. I figure at my level of hunting skill (i.e. none), I probably shouldn't try to hit anything beyond 150 yards anyway, so I'm wondering if anyone has any good reasons for me to NOT get a .45-70?
