[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 2180360, member: 104786"] Hello fellow Virginian, I grew up just up the road in Daleville and lived in Roanoke and Blacksburg(Go Hokies!) before moving to the flatlands of eastern NC. If the rifle shoots well now I might upgrade the stock if it didn't fit and I would hunt that everyday in the hills. Now when I lived up there I was mainly a public land hunter so it was all on the mountain and 150 yards in a clearcut was as far as I ever could see let along shoot. But as far as a mountain woods guns you about have a perfect one there. With the short rifle season up there I used the hand me down 336, but I had $1500 in both my archery and blackpowder set ups due to the longer seasons. If deer gun is what you want change the stock but I would leave the chambering. Now I did always want a 338 Fed or 358 Win when I lived up there just for throwing big bullets at deer. Now if you have access to cattle/horse fields a groundhog gun like Bean is talking about would be fun. Walking varminter contour not over 24" and since you say its a pretty gun with jeweled bolt I would find a nice piece of wood or laminate. [/QUOTE]
