I've hunted white tail here in Indiana with bow and shotgun, but have not shot any hi-power rifles. I have shot plenty a .22, shotguns, handguns but not any of the larger caliber rifles. I'm going to Wyoming in October with some family friends to hunt mule deer. I'm wanting a cheap but reliable rifle to take, say $400 or less range.
Any suggestions on caliber and guns in this price range, I have a scope already so I don't need a combo package. I want something I can take to the range and get sighted in without having to replace my shoulder, say a 300 win mag would do. I was looking at the .270 round, what's the recoil for that round? I would assume the gun has a lot to do with it as well? I'm guessing a polymer stock .270 will kick much more than a solid wood stock.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
