Question about deer rifle?

how much kick does a 336 marlin 30-30 comparing to a 12 gauge pump. and how can keep my scope still when hunting any techniques.Question about deer rifle?
The higher the magnification or power the scope is the more any movement will be enhanced. On a 30 30 you should not need more than 4 power. A 30 30 is considered a close range caliber. Also a low power helps you to be on target faster when you bring the rifle up . As with all aiming problems, nothing beats practice.Question about deer rifle?
I own both, and the .30-30 kicks considerably less than the 12 gauge. As far as keeping the scope steady, here are some suggestions:


- Always use a rest if possible


- If no rest is available, shoot from a sitting or prone position


- If you must shoot offhand, learn to use your sling to steady the shot


- Practice shooting in different positions


- If you scope is a variable power, crank it down in power






I started shooting my Winchester 94 .30-30 when I was a wimpy little 12 year old. At the same time, my dad's 12 gauge shotgun stomped me into the ground. If you can shoot the 12 gauge, you can handle the .30-30 easily.


As far as your other question, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. But if you want techniques for keeping the gun steady, use a tree limb or the edge of your deer stand. Calm yourself down and breathe slowly. Take a moderately deep breath, let most of it out, and hold your breath for a few seconds before shooting. Having the gun move around a lot when aiming at a deer is just buck fever (don't worry - we all get it), and the only way to overcome it is practice. Spend some time at the range and practice shooting, and if possible, go out to your hunting lease before the season starts and practice walking quietly and see if you can get close enough to a deer to take a picture with a camera. If you can't go to your hunting area, try a state or national park if there's one close by.
The heaviest recoiling .30-30 (170 grain bullets) produces 11.0 lbs. of felt recoil. The lightest recoiling 12 gauge produces 17.3 lbs. while the heaviest one produces 54.0 lbs. (according to Chuck Hawks recoil index).





You mean your scope is loose? If so take it to a gunsmith to re-mount it. They use loctite on the screws so it'll set and not loosen up. If you mean that your sight-picture is wobbling when you try to shoot that is shooter error. Try taking a deep breath, holding it, find your target, sight on it and slowly squeeze the trigger. Practice, practice...





Good luck.

The 30-30 has very moderate recoil compared to a 12 gauge shotgun.*Use a tree or log for a steady rest.* Breathe, Relax. Aim, Squeeze, and Fire.* Practice shooting in the prone, sitting, kneeling, and off-hand shooting positions.* Use a shooting stick.*
The 12 guage kicks alot more. Im 15 years old and i own a 12 guage and my neighbor took me hunting and he brought his 30-30 so when we were sighting it in i shot it. The 30-30 is a light, smooth shooting gun
If your scope is attached to the gun correctly, it should stay still. If it is, and it's still moving, it's because you are moving.
It will kick much less than a 12 gauge. You must practice different holds. Go to the rifle range maybe someone will help. Or take a NRA hunters course.
12 has more kick. I don't understand the rest of the question.
A lot of hunters I know shoot off of something like these...
