Anyway, why the Russian - what about the old 303? Well some nutter already went there... A classic for deer, especially when they are 3 feet in front of you, and you don't want to wake the neighbourhood.

I like the old classics.

Th front of the projectile must be very close to sticking past the end of the barrel when that that thing is loaded! The police dog squad brought out a dog for training a month or two back, they dumped a bag of cash, a bag of drugs, and a sawn off double barrel shottie on the farm for the dog to find. I thought that sawn off shotgun had the shortest barrel I'd ever seen, but your monstrosity might win the contest.
