For an eastern deer hunter (mostly), I'm in the same boat... and just sold or traded my two over-the-top rifles: a 9.3x62 and a 35 Whelen. Nothing crazy about the rifles themselves, just major overkill for anything I'm likely to encounter in the woods anytime soon.

Oh don't worry I couldn't stand it and already have a replacement in the works. AKA the same thing that's wrong with most of the people here smile

The Whelen financed a couple other rifles, so I'm not sorry about it. The 9.3 I'm sure I'll regret, but it was a project gun, so hardly irreplaceable.
