I had been looking at a lot of ideas for a close range, woods gun. On my land, things are tight and 30-70 yard shots are the norm. I killed one deer at 15 yards.
So after getting a christmas gift from a friend, I decided now what I want. My friend the gun dealer, picked me up a short action Ruger boat paddle at a gun show he was set up at.
So I'm going to get an All Weather Ruger Hawkeye in .338 RCM, and put it in my new boat paddle stock. They come with 20" barrels and iron sights. I have a ton of .338 bullets around, so it should be just the ticket ! I believe with the Iron Sights, and a Barnes 160gr TTSX pushed to 3000fps, should mean anything in the ranges I need it should be toast !
Thoughts ?
