I need help deciding. I know....this question.
So I have a ton of hunts next season which is great. But in turn is stressing me out and its not even close.
I have;
(For sure)
spring bear in Idaho
Antelope in Wyoming
Muledeer in Wyoming
Elk in Idaho
Mule deer in Idaho
Whitetail in Nebraska
(Hopefulls)
Antelope in Idaho
Mule deer in Arizona
Sheep or moose in Idaho
This is a lot and I'm excited. But more than half of these are pack in hunts. My current rifle is almost 11lbs. Not going to fly with me.
My first rifle that my parents bought me is a savage/Stevens model 200 youth size .308. Back when I was 12
I don't shoot it or use it anymore and definitely won't get rid of it.
.308? 7mm-08? 6.5creed?
Which caliber? And why? I'm not opposed at others either.
Or buy a donor rifle and keep this as is to pass down to my son?
Will be ordering:
-featherweight contour 24inch
-McMillan stock (edge tech)
-Leupold vx5hd/NF ultralight rings
Pic for attention. Back in 2015 with the rifle
