RE: What was your first big game rifle?
My first rifle was a 7.7MM Japanese Arisaka, short stock, full military wood, bolt stuck out like a sore thumb, kick like a mule, couldn't find ammo for it except a partial box of Norma 185 Gr. soft points. The whole thing cost me $15.00
Killed my first Deer with my Dads old Savage bolt action 12 Ga.
