I'm in the market to purchase a new deer rifle. I hunt in thick timber and rarely need to shoot more than 50 yds. My goal is to find a good quality rifle in .308 that is very light but decent to shoot. I'm cool with that caliber but the .308 I use now is close to 12lbs, making very hard to aim for very long while waiting for the buck to get clear of timber and take the shot.
With that said, I'm really close to the browing blr lightweight .308 lever action at 6.8lbs, w/o scope. My second choice was the bolt action Beretta Tikka lite at 6.2lbs w/o scope, but really think I'd like the lever action better.
Has anyone fired the BLR I'm talking about? I'm fairly recoil-insensitive but want to enjoy practicing with it too, outside of deer season. So, I wanted to see how jumpy it was at that caliber/weight.
Thanks for any input
