I used one when I was a kid to hunt deer. It was your typical "Sporterized" rifle. There were so many ordnance stamps on it that it must have been around the world 5x. I never cared for the safety, but it was extremely accurate at 100 yards. I loaned it out and it never came back. I still use a modified military rifle of some type to hunt deer. The only rifles I ever had a problem with when hunting in bad weather were commercial guns. I learned my lesson early. I will stick with the "Rattletraps" to hunt with in foul weather.
