I built a ruger deer stalker carbine for my dad a few years ago.I put a 1.5 x 5 simmons scope on it. Light weight and little recoil. The last time he sat in a stand before he passed away he killed two deer with it. The only problem we had was it was very ammo selective. It would ONLY group with 240gr. American Eagle Ammo. I tried all kinds and weights of bullets. Every thing else was all over the paper. I never new why.
