Thankie Adam, hope you ,Gill, and everyone else has a great hunt as well!
I like the SMLE and M44 as brush guns since they are shorter than most standard rifles, but not lacking in performance, even if they aren't brand new hightech rifles.
If I want more range, I can always grab a 91/30 or turk mauser (8mm) and go out to any reasonable range that iron sights can be used at.
Alot of people simply don't seem to realise what a surplus arm is decent condition is capable of.
Anyways, wish you guys all the best, my your hunts be memorable and fun!
hehe my roomie got a deer with his smokepole, and I got a piggy earlier this year with my M44, so we arent hurting for meat.
I enjoy the hunt if I take a deer or not, but I won't say no to a nice full freezer either
