Hi guys, this question might have been asked before so I'm sorry if it has been.
Similar to Bombus1's question, I'm looking at getting a rifle for deer and pigs but my question is not quite the same.
I'm right handed, but left eye dominant so I shoot left handed, shouldering a rifle right handed just feels wrong, so this limits me to makers that do lefties and I'm leaning towards Savage coz they are cheaper and money is a bit tight (around $500-$700, but I am open to second hand purchases so this opens up my options just a little.
I was looking at a .223, but I'm not the best climber so If I shoot a pig I want it to stay shot. The other thing is a .308 which otherwise I would be happy with just has too much range for the property I'm able to shoot on and the owner would probably be happier if I did'nt have something with quite that amount of range. We do get the odd Red and Sambar so I'd like the oomph to knock over either of those. Maybe I'm asking for too much but does anybody have any suggestions?
Any advice or help you guys could give me here would be greatly appreciated thanks.
