Lots of RFBs out there! I've thought about one for deer too. Lots of thick woods out my way. I hunted with a full length M305 two years ago and that long barrel seemed to brush against every second branch causing the USGI flash hider to go "ping" every time. I'm coming for you Bambi ... "Ping".
Thanks! And, Nos is from Vom Dan-Son Kennels in Nova Scotia. He is bred to the german standard & you can have a look at all the registered kennels in Canada at www.vdd-canada.ca

Porcupine.. And yes, this was expensive...
I'm hoping to join the "black rifle hunting club" with my 7.62 xcr next summer!
Gotta buy and practice with some Tulammo 7.62 soft point.

Friends, but we went to an outfitter around cedar key. All said and done the day cost us each about 275.we each got to shoot a hog and you better believe we had the biggest BBQ ever that night.
Thanks for the lead, not too many breeders our side of the border. My brother has a pair of GSP's which are awesome, but I have been leaning towards a wire hair for myself... a little more hardy in -30 weather. Poor shorthairs look like they get frostbite on their nuts out in the bush come winter time

Nos doesn't do anything 1/2 a$$ed... Sometimes, it's to his own detriment... Chuckle! Oh, and the porcupine was DEAD DEAD DEAD!

I have hunted exclusively with my 18.5" RFB for the past 2 seasons, with very good success: a few mulies and a moose. I use my reloads with Barnes TTSX 168 grn. bullets. I find the RFB to be the perfect hunting rifle, to the point that I sold my old bolt rifle. As someone else pointed out, it shines off-hand.
I won't post pictures, because I don't think it helps, you can't beat Hollywood culture: I was at the receiving end of prejudice based on the rifle's looks from many, starting with my wife and kids, and including my hunting partner who solemnly declared that "that thing" is not a hunting rifle because it doesn't look like a hunting rifle. Nowadays, my partner is often passing on shots and asks me to shoot instead because he has more confidence in my RFB (we hunt strictly for the freezer, not for bragging rights).
My favourite thing to say to people who tell me that it is a military "assault" weapon, and therefore inappropriate for hunting, is that in fact it is them who hunt with military rifles: all modern bolt action rifles without exception are variants of the Mauser k98 and other late 19th century designs, who became the standard technology for all of the world's armies and saw action in 2 world wars and countless other, and killed millions, while the few RFB's out there have seldom shot anything else than paper. I'm pretty sure that the early adopters of 100 years ago who took a bolt action hunting got the same treatment from the traditionalists of their day.
