He'll never want a magnum, he'll be an absolute dead eye crack shot, and you'll save him all the heartache the rest of us went through searching for the Holy Grail big game rifle.

He'll just cleanly murder animals with a mild recoiling lightweight rifle. If we could all be so blessed.


Murder animals? Please just STFU

It wasn't murder. Those sons o' bitches had it coming!
