gobblerroller Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I have a great location in some timber by a creek with great deer activity. My question is, should I use my 30-30 marlin, or my 20 gauge Benelli Nova? I only have room to shoot about 50 yards, so the distance really wont be a factor. Thanks!!

wtnhunt Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Either or. Think whichever you are more comfortable with should be just fine. Me personally I have a few spots along the river where shots are usually up pretty tight. My gun hunting there has always been either a muzzleloader or my .270.

gobblerroller Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 thanks for the reply! i think ill use te 30-30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I would go with the .30-30. I would think it would have more knock down power than the 20 ga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 a 20 ga slug has more then enough knockdown power for a whitetail. However, I'd just take whatever gun you like shooting the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yup both are great for deer. I'd take the one I shoot the most accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b&c191 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Use the one with the best sights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I would go with the Nova, just because I can work a pump faster than a lever action, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 either will be fine....I'd use the 30/30 if it were me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seets Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 i'd go 30-30, but thats just cuz i can work the lever quicker than a pump and im more comfortable with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
