The Deerslayer I have is the new model they came out with a few years back with the rotary magazine like the 10/22, but less capacity. It is number #239 to come off of the line and I have taken two deer and 5 or 6 coyotes with it, and my nephew got his first deer with it.

The hot Hornady loads in 240 and 300 grain weights are perfect for deer, and you don't feel the recoil at all. Load a single round at a time, with none in the magazine, and it is a perfect gun for my boys to use when they get their first deer.

It is a good 100-150 yard gun. Perfect for the timber.
