Do you hunt with it? What size of ammo? I used to hunt deer with a 'Swedish Mauser"-- a wonderfully solid chunky beast, but when I was in a tree stand and would raise the gun to aim, the deer would invariably think the tree was falling on them (this is a LONG gun, mind you!).... ha! Anyway, found the comment interesting! Since then, have adopted a shorter, more potent rifle that works wonders... see ya! Kent
