[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2626771, member: 121205"] I guess I'd like to ask a question myself. Where has one found need of a rifle that short in an "open country" chambering?" When I hunt the west slope of the Cascades, aspen mazes of the southern Rockys, or the Palmetto country of Florida's panhandle I too like a carbine length hunting arm. But, I generally also want that arm in an "anchoring" caliber like .35 Whelan or .350 Remington Magnum using a 250 grain partition or similar bullet. Small, light, fast bullets don't fare well in the tangle. For elk, et al, in the vast open country I hunt light and fast out of a long weapon system is fine as long as one can dope the wind well. Pictured is a Weatherby MK V Backcountry in 6.5 RPM. Screwed to the 24" barrel is a 9" Banish 30. No problem at all getting around in this habitat. Dumped that cow the 23rd of September. [/QUOTE]
