 Buying a new rifle...need opinions. 3 choices here gents......that is all. If you could own 1 of these rifles to hunt deer with which one would you choose...regardless of price...and why? 1.) Bolt action 30-06 2.) Bolt action .308 3.) Thompson Center Encore single shot in either 30-06 or .308 NOW.....what in your opinion is the best brand of rifle that you chose? Browning A-bolt Remington 700 Tikka CZ 550 American Winchester Model 70 Thompson Center I want the "why's" here guys.....I'm finally dumping my Marlin 336C in .35 Remington after 2 years of missed deer and massive frustration. I do a LOT of stalking and need a rifle that can reach out and touch a deer at about 100 yds. I need fast and flat / I need lightweight, I need smaller size. Any suggestions?  |

| Well Mainer, my opinion would be a bolt action 30-06. Why? It's the only rifle I really ever messed with. I currently use a Remington 710 30-06. I've used other 06 models in the past and was satisfied with all. However I have heard a few people raving up the Thompson Center Encore models accuracy and such. I think that's the kind that breaks open to load/unload. But when you say fast and flat, lightweight and smaller size a 270 comes to mind. GOOD LUCK TO YOU. |

| Greetings Mainer, with what you're looking for I have to ask you to take a look at this Rifle it's the .270 Ruger M77MarkII UltraLight That rifle is exactly what you're looking for but if you're set on your choices I would go with the bolt Action .30-06 Remington 700 the reason I would choose that one would be the .30-06's Outstandng Reputation and most Remington Rifles are dependable and accurate. GOOD LUCK

| OK...I decided on the TC Encore....because I've always wanted one. It's muzzleloader season here now...and I'm starting with the muzzeloader because its cheaper to buy them starting this way. Help me with the rifle choice.....either the wood and blued barrel or the Realtree and stainless barrel. Encore Muzzleloading Rifles - Thompson/Center Please help...the stainless is $100 more...but for looks I'm leaning toward the wood one. I like the classic look. |
