Thinking on my next purchase, anyone done a bunch of hunting/killing big NE white tail with these? Been wanting a companion cal rifle for my .44 mag revolver. Been wanting another lever. Been wanting a big bore lever. Been wanting an 1894 Marlin, I think.... opinions? For hunting and just schitts n grins. Would be a still hunting piece in Northern New England woods. Probably the thick stuff. Probably a snow tracking specialty purpose. Probably shots inside 75 yards. Think it would fill a hole in the short distance end of my spectrum. I know it’s “old school”. I know a 30-30 is a more versatile choice. I prefer to make the jump to .308
They perform/kill well on Big bucks inside 100 yards?
Thanks for your input. And any commercial ammo suggestions are welcome too as I don’t load my own.
