skeet,

Thanks for the good luck. In PA, only about 1% of the bear hunters bag a bear, so the bear are not in real danger from my 1898 Krag. The deer situation is not a lot better due to the deer decimation policy of the last 11 years by the Game Department.

Yes, I have scoped commercial rifles like a Remington 7mmRM, a .30-06, .308, .270 and a sporter Mauser built to a .264WM. The problem is there are very few deer. To sit for three or four days and see NOTHING kinda votes for an "As Issued" iron sighted rifle and a trek in the big (empty) woods.
