Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

I've got that same gun in a 30-06 right handed model that I have used for goin on 40 yrs now I reckon. That is absolutely the killingest sumbitch I have ever owned. And due much to the action of the gun itself imo.

I cannot remember how many times I have shot a deer in group of deer inside of 45 yards or so and had the remaining deer bust out like a covey of quail, only to immediately freeze up in their tracks when racking the action to load the chamber again. It happened often enough that I actually came to expect it.

The only issue I ever had with it is the forearm is just a little noisy when bringing the gun from shouldering it with the sling to shooting position.
