Currently in my arsenal i mainly have lever guns, a pre66 winchester 94, jm marlin 30-30, Marlin big loop 45/70, marlin 1894 44 mag, Browning bl-22, browning blr in 300 winchester mag, not to forget about my 10-22 and old mossberg 500 that i put a pistol grip on a 18 1/2" barrel for my home defense weapon, and a Ruger Ranch
Anyway, i digress. I have a desire for a bolt gun and am having a hard time deciding on caliber and make. I really am only a pig hunter and like to go shoot in the desert for practice and fun. Really i want a bolt gun because i do not own one, and i, as most here always desire more firearms.
My calibers i am choosing between are 22-250, .243, and .270. If i hunted bigger critters i would probably choose a 30-06.
I am swaying towards the .270, as in the future i could use it for deer if need be, and it seems to be a descent longer range caliber then anything i already have.
Brands i would choose from. I have never had a problem with anything from Ruger and would consider a m77. Browning a or x bolt, Savage, winchester model 70.
Sorry for the long post, and any input would be appreciated.
Cheers
