I've been shooting since I was a young kid. I've been shooting a .270 for about the past 5 years. And I was thinking a bit bigger for larger game later on down the road but for California deer the .308 would be fine. Thanks for the input everybody
Looking for a hunting rifle that wouldn't be a bad base to start a 1000 yard rifle off of. Too young to have the experience or knowledge for the long range aspect. Any input would help
