While one rifles in my hands the others on my back

Perfect and cost effective in a target rich environment

At times I have used the 22 with subs in the morning, then the .223 all afternoon

Then there’s times when the rimfire subs need to do a bit more work…….

Sink one in where the spine meets the skull at the back of the head

I might be a bit cynical but an axis/atlas shot can be a tough shot at longer range at the best of times but a 200m shot to back of head with 22 sub is next level considering a deer generally keeps its head still for about 4 seconds at any time apart from when bedded down. Good on ya.
