I hunt Maine/NB as well.


yeah, the carbines handle different. They would be perfect with a 20" barrel in my opinion.

I doubt it would kick more, but she'll be a lot louder with the 18.5" barrel, that I know. None of mine are currently carbines, but if I found one in a 35 whelen of a .35 rem. they would be real quick.



Camp is where you make it.
