I hunt in an area that is a bottle neck between two large areas. Tthe deer coming through this areaare either spooked or driven from the other areas so they are always moving. This area is a depression between two hills so at all times I have a safe backstop. I use a Abolt 7mm RemMag with a 26 barrel and a 3-9X40 scope which is not the ideal set-up. For next year I want to get a firearm that is better suited for my situation. I'm thinking a Browning BAR in 308 with the barrel cut down to 18.5 inches with open sights, or maybe a red dot scope. What do you guys think. Please note I'm not one of those maniacs whose going to empty the clip with total disreguard towards other hunters and my prey. Saftey is always first for me. Just looking for a rifle with a quick follow-up shot that is low recoiling, with knockdown power, and fast on target.
