Now that I'm safety certified, I'll hopefully be going for deer this year. Though most of my milsurps and shotguns are legal to hunt deer with, though, I'll probably be taking modern sporting arms, both with cartridges carrying the Remington name. One is a Savage 111G in 300 RUM. Yes, a pretty heavy round, but at 200 or 300yd, wouldn't it have similar power to a closer range shot with a 30-06? That's the general idea. For the shorter shots in heavy brush, I will be getting a Rem 760 pump action in 35 Remington. Would of course pick one or the other depending on where I'd be hunting.
But does that sound like a good covering of both bases? For shorter range or shotgun only hunting areas, I'd have a slug gun.
