Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Dad's last hunt with H&R

My Dad and I hunted together within the Black Hills Nat'l Forest of western South Dakota, First morning, he knocked down this young doe with his .243 rifle while walking slowly to his stand. This rifle is a true featherweight but shoots amazing groups at 100 yards. His previous rifle was an older 300 Savage levergun but he bought the .243 for its light weight. However Dad developed a serious heart condition about six months after our hunt together and never hunted again. He died of congestive heart failure. We miss him greatly.
