Ben, definately not "higher end", but my son uses a pair of H&R handi rifles[ one is a 30-06, the other is a 44 mag]. He has taken deer, bear, wild boar, and in 2008 he used the 30-06 to take 7 head of plains game, in RSA with me. He hasn't used anything but single shot/rifles or shotguns, since he started hunting with me 20 yrs. ago. If ya wanna see them, I got pics!
