I am hoping to attend a couple of the Appleseed clinics next year and want to work on getting an appropriate rifle over the winter months.
Main issue is that I shoot left handed and don't have to much in terms of long guns because of this. Coupled with the fact in MA I can only hunt with shotguns. But, I of course, have the bug and want to branch out.
So, one gun on my wish list has always been a 30-30 lever action. Cheap money, OK for deer within certain distances and good for left handed shooting. Also, I feel this type of gun is well suited (style-wise) to keep open sights on it all the time. Which I believe is how they teach at Appleseed.
Do these have enough accuracy for distances shot in Appleseed? Any other recommendations for me?
Keep in mind a couple of others on my list is an LH bolt action, an AR and a 10/22 but I don't feel I'd want to keep open sites on any of these. Plus, the AR may be a bit further down the road.
