Who it suits
- Hunters who climb or walk long distances in mountains, such as elk, deer and sheep country.
- Anyone who wants a short, light rifle that handles quickly in brush.
A light rifle kicks harder than a heavy one in the same caliber, so many hunters pick 6.5 Creedmoor or 7mm-08 for lower recoil. Check your state's hunting rules for caliber and season.
Buying
A rifle is a complete firearm, so it ships to a licensed dealer (FFL) in your state, where you complete the paperwork and background check.
