I will be picking up my first deer rifle this fall.
To give some back story, I have hunted in the past with my father in law's Savage Axis (.243). Last season I tried my cousin's Trophy Hunter. I am a short-ish guy, so I have found that the youth sized guns fit me better.
I was all set on the Savage (http://www.cabelas.com/product/Sava...on-Rifle-and-Nikon-Scope-Packages/1338908.uts), but after purchasing my Maverick 88 and being very happy with Mossberg I have started to look at the Patriot.
Obviously the Patriot is priced a little lower, but I have been told that both rifles are about even. It will only be used once a twice a year in the field and a few times a year at the range.
Any input/opinions are appreciated.
Thank you!
