Dubble,
It is a sore point with many to seperate guns by appearances. In the last 15 years I have seen some strange deer rifles in the field. The were similar to AK's and the Russian or Chinese military rifles. Some had been sporterized to a degree and the calibers were suitable for deer. I chatted with the hunters but never discussed there choice of rifles. I did catch their drift that they were securing provisions and weren't concerned with much else. I have my own preferences but that's for another time.
Best,
Ron
