I really like my Thompson Center TCR-83

Set up with the 23" 243 barrel it's slim and light, compact and effective.

It's accurate with handloads. The cartridge isn't overly loud and there's little to no recoil. With the 2-7x33 scope it's perfect for getting things done inside 400 yards.

As a top lever break action rifle, it quickly breaks down for packing out with the quartered animal on the pack frame.
