Gee, Shoey, they must only ever have hunted deer in America?
What do you think all those European hunters used.....rocks? :?
A good hunting arm that has proved itself over time, for sure.
Rifle of all time, I think not.
And I also think you'd better check your dates before you start making coments about Indian kills.
The last major battle of the Indian Wars was the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 and it ended any sort of resistance by the Indians.
That would mean that it would be 4 years before the '94 was even sold, let alone adopted as a service rifle, which I don't think it was because the Krag was adopted.
Talking of Indians, I actually found it interesting that at the Battle of Little Big Horn most if not all of the US Cavalry were equipped with single shot carbines and a considerable amount of the Indians were using the latest repeaters.
So at least to begin with, there were probably more cavalry troops killed by lever guns than Indians. :roll:
