I'm leaning ore towards the Sharps as it is much handier on stand than that long legged trapdoor.
Frank, go with the Mannlicher you procured a few months ago!! Hemingway would approve.  |
I as a rule generally tote a rifle AND a shotgun to my stand . So if the deers bow range close I’ll plunk it with the shotgun otherwise I’ll use the rifle .
