That's one of those new fangled lever-actioned magazine double rifles, didn't ya know.

It actually has a good trigger for a LA and shoots better than 1/2 MOA. Light weight and short so good for carrying and in .308 no problem on these little Chital. Also the chital sit in smallish clumps of thick bush but also can require a long shot so combining the two is not a bad idea.

This stag is the result of a combined four and a half days hunting, with the previous trip providing some useful scouting information.

"Orion" only missed out on a larger stag on the last evening by a whisker. A small bit of luck extra and a second stag would have been ours.
