[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3268968, member: 27673"] I didn't search for statistics but I would say that the classic bolt rifle is used more for hunting than anything else. Many, many moons ago I started deer hunting with a used Marlin 336 lever chambered in 30-30 with a fixed Weaver 4x scope and killed a deer every year with it. Then for some reason I figured that the 30-30 wasn't killing them dead enough so I picked up a scoped bolt rifle in 30.06 and for the next few years I also took deer with it. After a few years I grew tired of the 06' recoil and I picked up another scoped bolt rifle this time chambered in 7mm-08 and I knew after the first range trip that I had found MY perfect deer rifle .......very accurate round, it drops deer just as well as the 06' and 30-30 and more importantly the cartridge is easy on the shoulder. The 06' and 30-30 have been gone for several years but the 7mm-08 is here to stay. [/QUOTE]
