308 is simple and reliable. Keep it broadside and hold steadyI’m not a guy who buys a new gun very often. My 30-06 Remington 700 is almost 35 years old and accuracy is not that great anymore. My main rifle is a single shot H&R 444 marlin I bought ten years ago that I deer hunt with ( I don’t have to track deer anymore after the shot!) I decided to start hunting out west beginning this year and want to get a new rifle. I’m leaning towards the Browning X bolt long range and topping it with a Leupold VX cds scope. Looking hard at the .308 and the 6.8 western. That 444 marlin has a punch to it so I’m wanting a little less recoil as I get older. What do you folks who hunt out west suggests?
I have an X Bolt long range in .300 Win that I topped with a VX3 HD 4.5-14x in the bronze color and it has quickly become my favorite rifle. It is heavy enough that recoil is no issue and it carries well in my hand.I’m not a guy who buys a new gun very often.
