I will be picking up a new rifle at the end of next month. The question is which one. I have my eyes on a Marlin 336 in 30/30. Well, actually I have my eyes on a few types in different calibers. My intentions are to use iron sight, and to limit my shooting to under 200 yards (my visual limit with iron sights is about that on a good day.) Is there any advantage to a 270 or 260 at closer ranges? My primary purpose for this rifle will be deer hunting and range shooting. I feel as though the 30/30 is more than enough gun for deer up to 150 yards or so, but thought I would see what other people think. I'll pick up a more long range rifle later in the year more than likely. Another reason I like the 336 is the price, $318 at the local walmart, its a pretty good deal.
thanks
