If my poor memory serves me, we just had several posts regarding this style of rifle and carring it in the deer woods. Nearly everyone recognizes a person's right to use the rifle, in the same regard most would prefer that hunters carry a more traditional sylye hunting rifle. I am glad that in some states this type of firearm is not legal for deer hunting. I highly endorse the right to own one and agree that it is best suited for a different type of animal. The 308 is a great deer round!
