My son wants to try deer hunting this year. We decided, on the advice of a family member, to go with the .350 Legend to extend hunting season a little longer. It falls under the same time as muzzleloaders since it's a straight-wall cartridge.

For the rifle, I went with the CVA Scout 350 Legend in stainless.

We also went with the VX-Freedom 3-9x40 Hunt-Plex glass.

We will see how this goes.
