I have been using a 300 WBY Mag for a long time and really getting over it...
Its overkill, expensive to shoot, and beats the heck out of my bad shoulder.

I am looking to get something that will be easier to carry, handle and shoot. I am thinking a 308 would be a great all around caliber.
All I do is deer hunt and shots are pretty much never over 150 yards.

I'm looking for something that will be lightweight, low recoil, and take the elements really well.
A buddy told me to look at a savage 110 trailhunter. Thoughts on this or any other rifle I should look closely at would be much appreciated
