Help with Rifle Selection.
I'm building up my "battery", and looking to add a backup hunting rifle. My main rifle is a .270 in Ruger M77, shoots well, has killed tons of game.
For my second rifle I want to build another all-round, moderate-recoil rifle, but built for stillhunting in heavy timber. It must be under 8 lbs. naked, offer quick second shots, and be in fiberglass/composite/laminate stock. It should be .30 caliber or larger. I would really like to put a nice peep sight on it.
I'm looking at the .308 caliber, and the two rifles on my current short-list are the Browning BLR and the Remington 7600.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
