I need to do some additional shooting with and without the stock fitted.
i would like to try some longer range shooting with this. Say 50 to 100 meters.
If I had this in Alaska, it would have made a dandy marmot shooter. These were a great hunt.
At first I would hunt them with the woodsman. Then they got wary and the range we had to shoot got longer. At first the .22 LR was fine for under 50 meters. The marmots would range to about 15 or so pounds. Head shots were a must. The woodsman (and my yong eyes) could do this consistantly.
When the range became longer, I swithed to my Ruger BH single action in .30 carbine caliber. It is the only one I have ever seen. This would take them very well with the speer 1/2 jacket bullets. Some shots were over 75 yards. I think the .30 Mauser cartridge with the 86 to 90 grain SN bullets would be just the trick. This would be a nice light weapon to carry and have plenty of rounds in reserve. ( Not what you would wnat to run into the stray angry grizzly with though!) The hunting terrain was high mountains, steep slopes and large boulders. The marmots would eat the ferns and grasses and small plants that grew out of the rocky cracks in the summer. We would eat them to supplement the meat supply. The bears thought the same.
AHH! Country fried marmott liver!
