I am considering buying a rifle for hunting deer. I grew up hunting with a shotgun and have just stuck with it. I have a 30-06 that I hunt with in Alaska. I really enjoy shooting that gun. It is very accurate for long ranges and less recoil.
What caliber rifle would you recommend for Indiana. This would be for an adult male. I would like something something accurate for long ranges that is more pleasant to shoot then the 12 gauge slug gun. I have also considered a new muzzleloader. Please give your thoughts on that as well.
