That whole rattling forearm scaring deer argument is beyond silly.
It holds absolutely no reality whatso ever....that is unless you can sneak through the woods in absolute soundlessness...
I agree fully, it is greatly exaggerated by the naysayers of the day. just like the naysayer gunwriters who claimed Weaver pivot mounts wouldn't hold zero, they obviously never tested them out thoroughly.
I've shot a few deer with a 760 pump and never had one spook because of a forearm rattle before I got to shoot them. if it was that bad, Remington certainly wouldn't have sold the numbers of 760/6/7600 pumps that they have sold.
All my life I've been a firm believer of what Steelhead said on here years ago, and that is if you can fool their nose, you can get away with a lot !!!!!
I guess the 60+ Whitetails I've shot in WI, MI, and KS over the years all must have been deaf!
Exactly LOL !!!! Because people aren't buying pump rifles for target shooting and plinking, are they !!!!!!
