What do you think? Can get a pretty good deal ($700) on a lighty used BLR 308 with a Leupold Vari x II. Thinking about letting kid borrow it for deer hunting, and I think it's pretty cool rifle. Always thought a guy should own a 308 for SHTF. It's light and compact. Would it work well for Minnesota whitetail hunting? I shoot a Ruger 30-06 myself, but started on a Marlin 30-30. (hell, might let the kid use the Ruger!) How much are ballistics affected by the short barrel? What would be the practical range on this rifle? Basically, would you buy this rifle? Any and all opinions would be appreciated!
