30-30 Rifle For Deer
How to Get Better Results When
Shooting 30-30 Bolt Action Rifles
No discussion of youth deer hunting rifles would be near complete without at least mentioning a 30-30 rifle for deer.

Pretty much everyone feels it is probably the ideal gun to start a boy out hunting with. I started out with a 30/30. It's a fine caliber for taking deer. It's light to carry…goes easy on recoil or kick and more than enough gun to take out deer with. |
Even better if you timber hunt it's a great brush gun.
Ammo? You can get ammo for them anywhere ammo is sold.
As I just did, many refer to a 30-30 as a brush gun. Will it take out a deer at 300 yards? Not likely. It's best for shots 150 yards and under. Which is still plenty of distance.
Then let me ask you this. If it wasn't a popular choice how else can you explain that you can get bolt action 30-30 rifles at just about any retail gun outlet you can find?
The 30/30 is a good choice of youth deer hunting rifles if you plan to shoot without a rest. Besides, inside a 100 to 150 yards, no deer living or dead will be able to tell the difference between your '06 and a .30-30.
