I'm wondering what i should get for hunting deer and black bear. i was thinking 7mm-08. i'm hunting in the thick maine wood so the shots will be pritty close. i'm only 15 so i'm somewhat recoil sensative. thats why i was going to get the 7mm-08 insted of the .308. what do you guys think. insted of a bolt could i get a beak action? it's much cheaper. is the accuracy greatly lost tho?
7mm-08
243
308
any other passabilites?
