Don't you have a falkor defense Petra? How can you ever leave that thing at home and take something else?

I've got it with me I always bring two rifles when I go hunting.

I want one in 300 norma soooo bad! I just don't have an extra $7k for it. And I'm thinking it's too heavy for the hunting I do anyway. There aren't any box stands where I go and it's always a long arse walk.
