Hi all,
I would like some opinions of which rifle to get for Whitetail hunting in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
I have a bum shoulder and I am maxed out on cortisone shots.
I am going to be purchasing a Saiga in .308. If accuracy is good, I will use it for deer occasionally. The reason for this is the price and low recoil with a decent round. I am also considering buying a Marlin 336SS and would like to know about recoil from a .30-30. Is it painless to shoot? I have used a Ruger in .243 and that was OK, not too punishing to the shoulder. Can anyone tell me if they consider it a "light" recoiling weapon/caliber.
All of my shots will be kept under 150yds. and I will be hunting in the forest.
Thanks,
N Mosher
