Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting single shot deer rifles

No idea how many deer I've taken with my Ruger #1 .270.
Actually bought it for my wife because she's right hand/left eye dominant and the No.1 is the perfect ambidextrous rifle....AND I could shoot it too! LOL!

Aug 2019, I had total (right) shoulder replacement. As much as I like the No.1, the .270 recoil is just a bit much for the implant. Not impossible, just uncomfortable.
Now I shoot an AR in 6.8mm Rem SPC.
Still a .277 caliber and I still only shoot one time....unless I get in a sounder of pigs! Then, all bets are off!
With the AR, I can empty a 30 round mag with no discomfort.
Win/Win as far as I'm concerned! 😉👍

When faced with restrictions, you adjust as necessary to overcome.
