I got one in the late '80's when I got out of the woods and into the big open areas and figured I needed a bit more reach than my Ruger .44 carbine was giving me. It's a Ruger tanger. I'm sure I've killed more deer with that rifle than any other single firearm I own. I gave it to one of my sons several years ago. Today my 6.5X55 has replaced it as my favorite, most reliable rifle for killing deer. A bit less noise and confusion when the trigger breaks and the deer seem just as dead.
