Greetings all, deer season here in Georgia will be over on Jan 15th. I was blessed to have hunted the entire month of November and the last three weeks of December. For the first time in my life I spent an entire deer season with two guns that I have grown to accept as well worth the money. In the beginning I pondered different modifications and all sorts of attemted upgrades, but I have come to accept them for what they are. As previously posted the 30-06 fell two nice bucks, and the 45-70 two fat does. I alternated hunting with each rifle and they did exactly what they were intended to do. The function was flawless and after some trigger I had no complaints at all. I had mounted a scope on both but later decided to put a peep on the 45-70. I didn't hunt any differently than I would had I been carrying any other gun. I have read good and bad reports for each of these guns and can only attest to my experience. These were never meant to compete with the high grade guns but thats ok, mine shoots where they aim and they have two barrels sitting side by side. The economy may look dim and the world in disaray, but with a double in your hands all seems at peace. My long shot was 60 yards with the 30-06 and 35 yards with the 45-70. I hope all have the same luck as I with their Rem/Baikal's. Well it's back to the salt mines. God Bless all.
