    Portuguese Mauser Vergueiro M1904/39 - one of the most under rated military rifles out there...

    Beautifully made...
    Super, super slick action...
    Accurate...
    A long and rich service history...

    In longrange riflery, trajectory is the pure science part. Gravity is a constant for our purposes.
    Wind is in the art department.
    Light is pure fucking voodoo.

    And the deer will still be in grave danger if you do take it on "multi day tops missions" as well

    I have just put a 1x scope on my bush rifle and am loving the ease with which you can shoot quickly both eyes open.
