I've got a Savage 110 in 30-06 that is a great gun, I just don't like it. It kicks hard (because it's light), the scope sucks, and I've been dying to replace it.
I just signed on to a black bear hunting trip in May up in Canada, and am thinking this is the perfect time to buy a new rifle/scope combo that will last me quite a while.
I want a caliber big enough for bear, maybe elk someday, but small enough to whitetail hunt and not blow my shoulder off when a .243 would do.
I'm thinking .308 because it's been described to me as .30-06 power with less recoil. Exactly what I want...
What's a good rifle/scope combo to start out looking at?
Thanks
