Yesterday was the last day of the PA deer season. I had been putting on small drives to my two sons. There was only an hour left and time for one more drive so I decided to leave the scoped 7x57 at home and take an old 86 Winchester. It is a light weight take down in .33, not much finish left but the bore is good and it shoots pretty good. I shot a doe with it on the last day last year. As I left the house I saw 4 deer running across the cornfield behind the barn. I went to the back of the barn and at 175 yards shot a 7 point buck through both lungs. This is by far the longest shot I have made with iron sights. The deer jumped a little, ran in a 20 yard circle and fell over. Who needs a scoped bolt action? Shotgunner
