Hello, from the sportsman state Louisiana! First of all I am a new member and thought I would start a new topic. I have 2 really nice hunting rifles, and need something that I wouldn't be so worried about scratching, or putting in the weather.
Looking for suggestions? I saw a Mossberg 4x4 Laminate stock in .270, which I heard was a step up from the atr100. I'm also interested in a savage.
Any thoughts
Mossberg 4x4 or Savage

Whitetails! Thats prety much what we hunt. Like I said earlier I have a Remington cdl sf 300wsm, and a Tikka 270 wsm, and frankly, on a Cops salary I would hate to to beat and bang either one of those guns while in the woods.
I hunt almost every weekend during the season, which is approximately 2mths (Rifle season). So just need some imput for a gun with a lower price point?

Welcome to Guntalk-Online.
What range do you need to shoot. I know white tail vary greatly in size, what is the avg in your area? Here in Texas it can vary from heavy bush to long range, with dear running from very small to 130#. A Win 30-30 makes a good brush gun.

Well, for starters I hunt large hard wood bottoms on the eastern side of Louisiana, which provides for a 25yrd - 125yrd shot. I also have several Pipe lines on the property which can give me a 350yrd shot.
Not to mention I have some relatives who invited me to come to west Texas for the next few years for a hunt!. So I guess It varies. I just need something in the $500 range for an everyday type weapon.
Again I hunt alot and would hate to damage any of the above listed rifles. For some folks it wouldnt matter, but for a Cop! their my prize possesion's and my wife's worst thought Lol.
So I have looked at both the Mossberg 4x4 and the Savage, and just cant make up my mind on either one! does anybody know anything about either brand?
