Since you live in Wisconsin, anything goes as long as there is no magnification in the scope. Depending on what you want to spend and what kind of hunting conditions you encounter, this would help determine what to purchase.

For instance, I just outfitted a Remington Genesis with a 1x scope, and have been real pleased with 100 grains of Pyrodex P and a 300 grain .44 caliber Hornady XTP in a green harvester crushed rib sabot.

I suggest you go to some sporting good stores and look at rifle and see which ones you like and what you want to spend. Or look on line at Thompson Center Arms, Knight Rifles, Traditions Firearms, CVA firearms, and look at the different rifles they offer. See if any of them catch your eye. If they do, we'd be glad to tell you about them.

With no scope, many of us are limited to 100 yards because of eye sight and talent. So even the traditional rifles will do that, and give you a heck reason to brag to your friends. So look around and see what you find.
