Default RE: Ruger model 96

Hi VDOT,

My brother bought one after I suggested he look at it. He uses it some for whitetail.....but the last two years he hasn't been able to get it back from his 13 year old. My nephew has used it to take his first two deer...and absolutely loves it. It's a good whitetail carbine over much of the terrain we hunt. My brother put a 2 1/2 fixed power scope on it because the single sighting plane is easier for inexperienced shooters. Also better for low light conditions. (Though he started all of his kids on open and peep sighted .22's.)

It's a great little rifle....perfect for whitetail over much of their habitat!
