Having successfully filled a tag for an Oregon blacktail this week, with my 26" barrel, 10.5lb 30-06 with a fixed 10x scope, I felt a bit "over gunned" if you will in those dense woods. The gun is built for NV mulies and AZ coues deer at long range. So now I'm looking into something short, light, and with a little less horsepower than the 30-06 with 178s.
I currently shoot and load for 6.8spc and 6br which I think both cartridges would do everything I need on those deer, but I'm also not opposed to an inexpensive factory rifle that I chop the barrel on.
Thoughts? I'm not set on those chamberings, just what I have that may work well.
