WHat would you guys recommend for a beginner hunter who wants to hunt deer but only has a budget of around 800-1000 bucks? I know i have a thread in the classifieds wanting to trade for a 308 bolt action or a 300 blackout pistol but i want to hear some opinions. I've settled on those two calibers, but might consider something else. I want something that can be used as a dual purpose rifle/pistol for hunting and tactical situations (SHTF). I already have AR15, 2 9mm Handguns (G19, FNS9) 2 22LR Rifles (10/22 TD, Marlin 795), and a Maverick 88 12ga Shotgun so i feel like i have most of the bases covered in general.
On the hunting side of things it would be a mix of private and public land so the 308 would be out for public land so that's when the 88 would come into play and it's also the reason why a 300 blackout pistol is on the top of my list. Anyways enough of me talking.
