Indeed, quality counts. The reason this topic came up with me is because i was checking out some g-hog holes i was monitoring and i spooked two deer (buck or doe unknown), i had about a 3 or 4 second window where, if it was hunting season, i could have shot. It just made me wonder if the quick handling lever action carbines would fit the role better for a quick shot, from holding the gun in one hand, to sholdering it and shooting accurately. \\
