U don't have to Credit me Sir Bob.
It's funny that people think of smaller carts as all around. But when the only rifle a guy has is the most important one. The one that has the best chance of keeping him from being turned into bear poop. That becomes an all arounder. And as The Spruce King weighs 8 lbs 9 oz with 4 rounds of 350 gr ammo and a 1" nylon strap sling . Express sights. It is easy to pack around.
With that same setup. One time I off hand , no sticks, dumped a good size for Sitka Blacktail on the beach by Ole Crik on the Chichagof side of Peril Strait in January. Last hunt before the end of the season that year.
178 full paces away. Pretty sure I was shooting the 350 gr Speer. But it might have been X bullets . MV was 2550 fps.
I know modern hunters like to shoot things WAY FAR AWAY . But practicality dictates that sometimes, you do your best with the shot that's offered.
Just practice, practice, practice.
