I am looking to add to my gun cabinet with a rifle that will be used for whitetail deer hunting at close range in thick cover. Think maximum of 75 meter shots and often at moving deer. The two I am considering the most are the Tikka Battue Lite and the Browning BLR. Caliber will be likely be 7mm-08 or 308 - both are offered in it.
Any and all opinions welcome. I have primarily been a bowhunter and am slowly transitioning into the rifle hunting world.
Me and the buddies use to have this conversation at Deer Camp, in No Wisconsin.. where we hunted a lot of thick cover and swamp...
After enough hunting it, I came to the conclusion the best firearm for thick cover isn't a rifle at all...
I come to the conclusion the answer was a good 12 gauge pump with a magazine of 8 deer slugs in it...
Why is that? Honestly interested in why it works better for you.
