New York  upstate 60 miles north of syracuse
 a big deer with a small 6 point rack..

NEF single shot 30-30 with 3x9x40 scope at 25 yards..

one shot threw chest, creased the lungs and blew out half the heart

i would recomend a NEF single shot to anyone...

the trigger pull is heavy but you get use to it with time..

the gun itself is also heavy .. compared to my 1980's 30.30 winchester 94

but there solid and pin point accurate.. i can shoot a casing of a 30.06--- primer end facing me... 

the red flat cap was with my iron sighted winchester.. the rest was THE NEF...LOL

between 50 - 75 yards..

FAR LEFT SIDE WAS A 30.06 SHELL CASE FACING THE PRIMER AT ME .
RED FLAT CAP WAS WITH MODEL 94 IRON SIGHTS
20 GAUGE YELLOW SLUG CASE ,, SIDE SHOT
PLAIN SPOUT CAP
