As a poor college student as well. I'd say save up and buy literally anything that isn't a savage. Link related. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/10/24/man-insane-battery-firing-savage-axis-can-happen/

If you are only shooting in 100 yards then you don't need a .308. In fact, a 30-30WCF is perfect at 100 yards and if you are missing with that then you will probably be missing with your 308. Especially when you're only putting a red dot on it. Also doesn't appear to have iron sights, so at least the red dot will make up for that. Everything you are doing just sounds like a bad idea and not really well thought out.

>but couldn't shoot them with the 30-30 that was lent to me.
why the fuck not?

alright im not trying to come off as a dick because im not saying i'd make that shot at a 100 yards, but if someone lent me that rifle to do it with and i wasn't making that shot i'd figure out if it were my shooting, or something off with that rifle, and fix the rifle if there's something wrong with it. a hundred yards with a weapon that has a stock on it, you could probably reliably do that with a pistol set up with a stock even. im not thinking throwing a lot of money at a new rifle is going to fix your problem. check the sights/barrel crown/rifling then maybe the ammo if those seem alright which it probably should if you looked the thing over before you used it

Didn't wanna take the risk as I'm not familiar with the lethal range of a 30-30.

I'm not worried about making the hit, I'm worried about making the kill, also, I need a rifle cartridge with enough wallop to take out bears. One went after one of our dogs this year and took 5 shots from an sks before it was down. I don't know if I would have had enough power to kill one with a 30-30

dude google 30-30, im not familiar with it but the bullet weight and speed should be enough to drop a good sized deer. i have no fucking clue if it'll bolt or not tho

A red dot scope isn't great for hunting, and neither is the scout rifle concept. I've got a Mauser set up that way, but a more traditional hunting gun is better for hunting.

A .30-30 is good for deer out to at least 150 yards with irons if you know how to shoot it. Which makes me wonder what >>32114278 wonders.

Also, if you're not shooting much past 100 yards, consider a 12 gauge with a slug setup and a 4x scope.

I didn't take the shot because I have 0 practice with shooting a 30-30. Why take a risk when there's 10 watchers down from my position who will be more likely to take it?

Or a nice 4x scope.

>.35 rem, but it's the .45 to the .30-30's 9mm
