SHOW NOTES

Characteristics of an ideal western deer rifle

  • Packable (if you can't get to the game, you'll never get a shot)
  • Ergonomic (so when you get to a shooting position, heaving for air and trembly with exertion, the rifle helps you pull off the shot at the moment of truth)
  • Accuracy (so you can make any reasonable shot offered)
  • Authority (enough to cleanly kill from any ethical shot presentation)
  • Reliability (no amount of performance matters if you can't count on it)
  • Cartridges & bullets for western deer hunting

Configuring the ideal western deer rifle

  • Action options
  • Bottom metal
  • Trigger
  • Barrel
  • Stock

  • Sorry, you gotta listen for this one, plus in-depth details on the two runner-ups.
