First post here, glad to find the site.
I am hoping to get back deer hunting this year after a few years off. The place we hunt in NY just switched from Shotgun Only to Shotgun/Rifle.
My question, I have always previously used a 12ga. 870 with Slug Barrel. My brother was recently given a rifle he is going to lend me (British 303).
Any thoughts on wether I should stick with 12ga. or try to sight in the 303 over the next month to use. Pretty thick cover where we hunt. I would say 100 yards would be a very long shot.
I have never hunted deer with a rifle before.
Thanks,
Pat
