Im wanting to get a rifle to hunt deer and do some paper with.
My options are:
Lee Enfield No1 MK3 (in 303)
Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 (in 303)
Marlin xs7
Marlin xs7 Stainless
Remington 700 SPS
Remington 700 SPS varmint
Remington 700 VSF
Remington 700 VLS
Remington 700 VTR
Remington 700 SPS Tactical
Ruger M77 Scout
Im really leaning towards the Remmy VSF but the dealer keeps advising me against it and saying its too heavy for stalking deer and that "its just not the right tool". Then again, I get the feeling he's just saying that so he can push a different rifle onto me.
I would appreciate any input into the matter.
