Perfect Shamanic Deer Rifle:
Ruger Hawkeye 30-06 stainless w. 3-9X40mm Bushnell Elite scope. 165 grain Hornady Interlock over H4895.
I have a couple of Rugers, one an old Tanger in 270, blued with a 3-9 Vortex on it. Don't know about your rifle but mine could use a diet if I have to lug it much in my old age. Heck I could use a diet myself. I think of it as more of an open country rifle.
