That was my first high powered rifle I owned. I hualed hay and mowed grass, and anything else just to buy one.I payed 75.00 for it in 1976. I thought I had the grand prize of the world.I took a bullet to show all my friends at school.(Try that in todays world)I killed seveal deer with it including my first buck !! It just dropped them in there tracks, I was always impressed by it preformance. My father-inlaw still has one,He tells me all the time that it is the best deer gun on the planet.I still havent seen him shoot it??? I have never told him I had one so it just makes it better.I would say if you had one and it was a good one you could kill anything you wanted to ,,....
