My dad says his Uncle Jim who lived in Redding, CA, had a brother in law who took blacktail and mule deer with no problem using a .25/20. Uncle Jim said he could spot deer it took him binoculars to see and he could sneak up on any game animal. Got really close and put those .25-cal. holes in the right spot. These guys killed a lot of deer in Northern California 1920s through mid-'50s.

I'd REALLY like to have a .25/20 in a 26-inch. Contender Carbine. That would make a nice, quiet little killer.
