I was kicking around the same idea. I settled on a g2 contender in 30-30 AI. Mgm 22" bull barrel. With 3x9 scope it comes in at just over 6#'s. Those 110gr. Black tips drop deer,like a ton of bricks. I have a Encore pistol that is too clunky for my liking. I just picked up a wood stock for it. I just don't know what to do with it, yet.
