[QUOTE="Albritton, post: 1551316, member: 108690"] Oh I could shoulder shoot em and dump em on the spot but I don’t shoot my meat deer deer (does) in the shoulder due to meet loss. Our average meat processing cost here in the South East is up to $70 so I try to get the most for my money. The farther they run down here the better the chance of non recovery due to thick terrain, standing water in the swamps and losing the blood trail. Yes I have shot deer with my 300 mag through the lungs and have em run but not 90 to 100 yards. I have long ago mothballed my 300 for white tails, it’s overkill LOL. Reason I bought the Ranch version with the 16” barrel is the ease of maneuverability in a climber. I even purchased a Ruger youth stock to further shorten the rifle, makes it a lot easier to shoulder when wearing a heavy jacket and reduced the rifle length to 36 1/2”. I can remove the brake if I really wanted to but with break I can see bullet impact which I like to do. I agree that buying the 22” barrel version would help with noise but I would lose maneuverability, not a choice I personally am willing to give up. [/QUOTE]
