1950 FN Mauser,30-06 in full military configuration and iron sights. Rifle weighed a little bit more than me and was taller too.
180gr RP PSPs with H414 for 2750, handloaded by an old family friend.
First shot was a double lunger, 150yds and my Mom was with me. Sent her home for the truck and when I found where it was. It got up as I tried to get into position to finish her off. She got riddled and I did not enjoy the experience at all. Had I just waited she would never had gotten up.
Looking back it is just that, experience. But I always hated that heavy pig of a rifle.
