Deer Rifle/Scope Suggestions
I am tossing around the idea of getting a new deer rifle and wanted to get some feedback. I have a Marlin 30-30 and a .270. I am of the opinion that the 30-30 is the best there is, inside of 100 yards, and the .270 that I have is a fantastic gun but it is a custom made gun that is heavy and really just too nice to do the kind of hunting that I do.....so I am wanting to get something to use in place of the .270. I have always wanted a .308 so that is what I am thinking I will probably get, and the absolute max that I want to spend would be around $1,300-$1,500 (for the gun and scope). What are yall's recommendations for the gun and scope?
