Mild Yet Adequate Deer Rifle
Hello,
I have been poking around the forum and finally decided to post a quesiton. I have been hunting with a Marlin 30-30 that I had to give back to its owner this year. I enjoyed the compactness and quick follow-up capability. Now I am looking at a new rifle that has a low amount of muzzle blast (going deaf in left ear) and mild recoil yet delivers slightly better performance than the 30-30 for sligthly longer ranges.
What would you folks suggest?
I have considered the .243 Rem. pump up through 30-06 to shoot managed recoil loads with.
