SHOW NOTES
Characteristics of an ideal western deer rifle
- Packable (if you can’t get to the game, you’ll never get a shot)
- Ergonomic (so when you get to a shooting position, heaving for air and trembly with exertion, the rifle helps you pull off the shot at the moment of truth)
- Accuracy (so you can make any reasonable shot offered)
- Authority (enough to cleanly kill from any ethical shot presentation)
- Reliability (no amount of performance matters if you can’t count on it)
- Cartridges & bullets for western deer hunting
