I bought a very nicely sporterized 91 engineers' carbine several years ago with a Fajen stock and one of the best rust blue jobs I've ever seen. It had sat in the bargain rack at a LGS for several months when I made a lowball offer and they accepted. The smith who built that one knew his business! It threw shotgun patterns with 123 grain .311 bullets, but 170 grain .311's tightened things up nicely. I used .300 Savage load data and got the velocity up a bit over 2K FPS- - - - -plenty for mid-range deer. I didn't notice them getting any deader when I used a .30-06.
