if you get the chance try the westvleteran 12, or 3 floyds dark lord or if you r in nyc come by the house and try one!

What's ur vote? I'm partial to the abyss or Kentucky breakfast stout!

im going by the beretta store in the city to check out a few sako's. i think ill stick w 308. or maybe 30-06. thanks for the replies. i sous vide a lot and a hunter friend gave me some venison that was just spectacular. excited for my first hunt.

ok great. now got to pick out a rifle. I think im leaning towards the Sako finnlight. the carbonlight looks awesome but i dont know if its worth the extra coin

no, not rob but i see ur from steuben co, i go up to visit an aunt in elmira often. i shot her washing machine by accident once. long story

thanks for the replies. i guess if there is no clear winner ill stick w the 308. he said you want a flatter shooting round. why is a flatter trajectory more preferable?

sorry if this has been asked 2000 x's before. Been shooting for 30 years so handle firearms pretty well. Trying hunting for the first time. Took the class and tags are ordered. I have a rem 40xb but i think its too heavy to drag around all day. thinking of grabbing a sako (finnlight or possibly that new carbonlight) or maybe a kimber montana. also thinking about a vortex viper 2.5-10 x 44 scope. Is this a decent setup for deer hunting? Lastly, what round do you guys recommend? i like to keep things simple so im not buying all different types of ammo. so i have a couple .45 pistols and my rifle is a 308, but a hunter friend said 308 isnt a great deer round. something about having too much arc. he recommended 7mm-08 or 30-06. what do you guys think?
