The BLRs changed to an aluminum receiver in 1996 and are easy to carry now. this .30-06 was my first owned deer rifle. Bought new in 1996. Shot 9 deer with open sights. 4 with the little 2.5 x luepold. Shot several of those deer on the run. Very fast to shoot all 5 rounds on a deer drive. The...
My daughters doe this year took a good hit to both the neck and a bullet through the eye with a .243 and was still on its feet. Needed a third shot to the chest to drop it. Apparently just missed both the spine and brain.
Posted my leverguns last year in this thread. But Ive always liked the looks of stainless guns as well. And the Tikka fits into the classy rifle category for me. Super smooth action, great balance, and as accurate as I can hold on any given day. This ones a 6.5 creed. After laughing at all the...
