Get a kick out of the term "Modern Rifle". My Oberndord Model 1894
Mauser in 6.5 x 55 is anything but a modern rifle.
I have been hunting with what's called a modern rifle since the early
60s. I enjoy the process as much or more than actually popping the cap.
Used to be we hunted in the snow. The season was much later but
not any more. The Archery hunts and the ML hunts have chopped the
season into fragments. This year modern rifle lasted a week.
I am bummed by the nead to take one in a hurry or the clock kills
your chances.
Progress. bs I like aces, straignts and flushes and hunt acordingly.
One shot, one kill, no lost wounded game.
Aw hell to each his own.
Used to hunt with a long bow but my shoulder won't tolerate that
any more. Whine Whine.
