I hunted deer in Wisconsin 50 to 60 years ago with a Martini action re-barreled and chambered in 348 Winchester using reduced handloads. I never liked it because of the lack of a safety. Many times I sat in the woods with the action open which isn't good when it is snowing. My father built it and a cadet in 22 K-hornet. One of my brothers has both rifles and uses the cadet 22 K-hornet. I graduated to a bubba'd 303 Jungle carbine which I liked.
