Hunting Carry?

[CharlesHarris]

I agree that modern optics and mounts are sufficiently rugged for military and harsh outdoor use. If you are Old School, as I am, you may opt for having iron sights also on the rifle for backup, and all of my hunting rifles are so-equipped.

When I lived in New Hampshire and did much of my hunting in snow country, travelling either via snow machine, cross-coun try skis or snowshoes, my rifle was protected in a USGI canvas case, slug across the back.
