Title pretty much says it all. First off I'm looking at the Savage Axis line up just trying to decide which flavor to get it in.
I don't normally hunt but would like to leave that door open, mainly deer with the off chance I might go with my father in law on a bear hunt. This gun would be mainly for longer range plinking.
I was originally thinking 30-06 after shooting a buddies Ruger American but then I heard 308 is cheaper. I really enjoyed another buddies RAP in 6.5 Creedmore but I think that may be a bit small? I'm also under the impression that 6.5 is kind of pricey. Yet another friend suggested 270.
So you can see my dilemma, new to bigger caliber rifles and trying to figure out which one to go with given my wants. Right now I'm leaning towards 308 or 30-06.
Any advice is appreciated...
