RE: What Rifle Should I get for Deer Hunting
I also hunt thick brush and heavily wooded areas and you CANT go wrong with a Remington 7600 pump carbine in 30-06. I do it all with this rifle.... still hunt, stand hunt, track etc. It has an 18 1/2" barrel (short for thick woods), its a 30-06 (versatility & can take down anything the country has to offer), Very well balanced, its a pump action (fast follow up shots if needed & very reliable)which you are also already very familar with, and very accurate. It isalsoveryclose in price to a marlin 30-30 but with more to offer then that cartridge. Seriously check it out, pick one up and hold it to your shoulder. You cant go wrong with it for the type of hunting you are talking about.
