Q:My close friend and hunting buddy has found the love of hunting mule deer and elk in Colorado. He can only afford to own one hunting rifle for both species and has a total budget of $800-$1100 (rifle and scope). He is leaning towards a .270 or 30.06, but has an open mind for other calibers. He does not like heavy recoil (who does) has he wants some range time between seasons. He is looking for suggestions for rifle and caliber. Most shots are between 150-300 yards. I've suggested the following: Browning XBolt .270 w/Leupold 3x9x40 VXII Marlin XL7 25-06/.270/30.06 and spend more on optics (but he prefers a detachable magazine) Your input is highly appreciated, as what counts most is feedback from actual users.
