Suggestions for a Deer "bush gun"

How about ultimate firepower Win mod 100 carbine in 308Win in MPI lightweight stock and Leupold 2X scout scope?

you had it and sold it...what exactly was wrong with the 30-30 lever gun?

An old browning A-5 loads really quick and so does a Remington pump in 30-06 and so does a 303.

I leave for moose camp in 1 hour.

Winchester model 100 in .308

Why not a RobArms XCR in 6.8spc ? I know hunting ammo is rare atm, but if you reload it shouldn't be a problem.

Don't think it's been mentioned, but the Rem 7600 Carbine in 35 Whelen topped with a Leupold VXII 1-4x20 is my top choice.

Everyone knows my idea of a brush gun does not include a sporter semi.
But if it did, the Ruger in 44 mag would get the nod

Right off I thought of a Win. M 100 in .308 (which may not be too hard to find) a carbine so much the better. I have one in .308 and one in .284 win.

But the Ruger carbine .44 mag. would also be good. (I have always had a yen for one)

A 12 ga. slug gun would also work. I have a Rem. 1100 with a hastings rifled barrel on it. With a 2.5 power scope it shoots Federal sabots into 2 3/4 inches at 100 yards.

I also have a Rem 7600 pump in .35 whelen and a Savage 99 in .300 savage.

So when it comes to "Bush guns" I got it covered.

This would be, is my choice, for a number of reasons.

1. Size/length-Short fast handling and fits well on the handlebar rack on the front of my quad when digging into the back & beyond areas.
2. Powerful-Potent enough for anything I'm going to run into, especially at closer ranges.
3. Durable-Stainless steel, although not a favorite of mine, does give it a little more ability to handle not only rough handling but also some of the 'Wet coast' weather especially loaclly.
