So, I have been hunting a few years now and shot guns alot.
I have been invited to join a Moose hunt this year and possibly if i make it past the Hazing, years to come aswell. I already have a Savage axis 30-06 and a few other shotguns and lighter calibers, but no sense to drop them in here. I would like to get a good bush gun, been thinking about it for over a year or so and would like a lever if i need to get a new gun....(wants and needs). Short, compact for bush and able to do what i want. Im thinking 30-30 or someone mentioned the 45-70. What do you guys think if this will be my go to truck, quad, and bush bashing gun, ill use the savage for longer range shots or my tree stands and blinds. If im pushing, i think the compact 20" barrel woould be more ideal. Is the 45-70 over kill for moose? will 30-30 be enough? ive herd the 45-70 is bit of a pain when i comes to recoil? is it that much different from an 06 high grain, 180 or 200+
Thanks
