Hi, I'm tossing around the thought of getting a single shot rifle. Not sure why a single shot allures me, but it does. Anyway, I'll be using it to plink and hunt deer/elk/other medium game. I will NOT put a scope on it.
What do you recommend for the caliber? I was thinking 270, 308 or 30-06 originally, but considering the shots will be at 50-100 yds, is this an overkill? Should I get, say a 44 or 357 mag? The ammo cost will be cheaper, which is a plus.
I'm assuming a 44 or 357 will be adequate to take down a deer/elk, pending shot placement. Which, by the way, is the main theme behind the singleshot.
Any thoughts welcome.
