No embarrassment here but no pride either. An Italian 6.5 Carcano that someone tried to make into a sporter and failed. I bought it so I can convert it to 7.62X39. That is the only other cartridge which fits the bolt face. And since I have an unopened case of ammo, I think it's only right to have a soft shooting hunting rifle for the short ranges of the western Washington mountains.
My dad hunted all his life in the mountains of Snohomish and Skagit counties and the longest range he claims to have taken a deer was 75 feet. A .30-06 is a bit much at those ranges.
