One of my favorite still hunting and tracking rifles was a Sav 99 in 308 with the barrel wacked to 16 1/2" tossing 180hgr RNs. I topped it with a Leupold Vx-ll 1-4. It was lightning fast and killed deer from any direction. When I moved I left it with my nephew he's still killing deer with it.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
