Looking for a nice little rifle for my up and coming deer hunter. 30-30 is kinda what I'm thinking unless someone has a better option.
I am 23 and still use my Remington Model 700 ADL Synthetic Youth .243. Never lost a deer I hit with it. Never had one run past 40 yards either. Got a VERY nice scope on it, however. It's kinda the whole "if it aint broke, don't fix it" theory. Of course, when I start shootin pronghorns, mulies, and elk, I'll get a bigger gun. But for now, aint nothin wrong with using a "youth" model.Bottom Feeder (10/19/2007) I know 18 yr olds thatstill prefer shooting their NEF .243 they got when they were 8 or 9....
My next rifle will be a .243. Been eyeing several models but ain't ready to sink the cash just yet. however, it won't be a "youth" model. Now that I've grown up and become a man the youth models are just to shortThe Blue Hoo (10/19/2007)
