Most of the time on the 'Fire there are great posts and pics shared of game taken with rifles that have been tinkered with from one end to the other. It's the rifle loony's curse. Anyone want to post some pics of game taken with rifles that are untinkered with from the factory, other than adjustments made to a factory trigger? I'll start. Win M70 Featherweight (SC BACO), 7x57
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

I've posted it before, but... M1907, .351 Winchester. Unknown if the tang sight is factory, but I'm guessing it was. there is also... A bone stock #1 .270. I've done nothing to it besides mount the scope. The 2nd load I tried in it easily shot sub-MOA, and is fast, so it gets the nod for deer.

I think it over penetrated.
