    So this is the base rifle for the project, will add photos as I go. Not going to go quite as short as @Moa Hunter still want to retain the fore end.

    I think the Pomba does suit the suppressor addition. Will watch your outcome with interest.

    I'm a newish member of NZDA. Went to a Sika Seminar (brilliant). Afterwards I asked the presenter (30 yrs specializing in Sika) what his average shooting distance was. He said 80% taken between 15 and 35-50 metres. I said (very quietly) "so my 357 Rossi with iron sights would be ok"? He laughed and said "You've got it in one"

    I have done little deer hunting, yet. I've certainly got more traditional "suitable" rifles. But thats not going to stop me taking the Pumas out. Probably the 44-40 first, but certainly the 357 will be a goer.
