I also love to hunt with open sighted single shots, my favorite being my .30 super H&H. This is not my best Whitetail but he was taken at a lasered 205 yards with open sights.



my stag taken with the .25/06 I built at about 260 yards.



A nice representative stag with an old rifle and up close would really be the bees knees or I guess as some say the Mutts nutts.

If ya ever come to the North Island Hawkes bay Kawekas to get sika a good ol Remington 700 or tika t3 20" bush rifle in 308 will do ya right
