I have very little experience with rifles so I'm asking for opinions here, not an arguement. Here's the lowdown, I live near Houston and have been invited to hunt deer and hogs on occasion, so I would like to invest in a good, all around rifle, something I can pass down to grandkids. I can't even see further than 150yds so long range is not necessary. I want a caliber that's gonna do the job, good knockdown power. I know shot placement is everything but like I said, little experience here. Would I be pissing in the wind with a scoped Marlin .3030 or would a .308 be a better choice?
The floor is now open for comments and thanks in advance.
