I just read a story in one of my old Outdoor Life magazines entitled: “Ross and His rifle”
February 1963, by Don Peck, Ross’s father. Hunt took place in BC.
His rifle was a Marlin 336sc in .219 Zipper......the reason I looked up this old thread.
Ross was 10 years old at the time, which means he’s about my age now.
His first big game was a mountain goat, which he fairly shot up the country before he got down.
The second kill was a nice bull elk with one or two shots. I was impressed!
The Zipper sounds interesting and I think it would still be a fun round to play with.
