I feel sorry for all of you that use shotguns for deer. IMO they suck. Much of WI is shotgun only, and I wish it would change. Shotguns are no safer than rifles. I use a model 70 short action carbine in .308. It has a Simmons Whitetail Classic 1.5 X 5 on it. Sweet rig, I love it. I also have a model 336 in 30-30, with a vintage redfield reciever sight, also a sweet rig. I never have a problem deciding which to use ona given day, the decision is just there and I go with it.
