I'm looking for a rifle for deer hunting, east coast, NY state. Probably some "sitting in the woods for a few hours" along with walking through high grass and waiting for a deer to pop up and run. I think a bolt action is too slow for this kind of hunting and I dont really need 1000 yards sniper range (since the area I hunt switched from shotgun to rifle last year and I only have about 70 acres to hunt on). So I was thinking of a lever action like the Browning BLR or a semi-auto (non-mil) type of rifle like a BAR or Benelli R1.
anyone hunt similar terrain and have used either of these three guns and was happy with it? I'm thinking to get it in 30-06 in case I want to take it elsewhere in the US and hunt.
