Browning A Bolt

It's just a .270 so not very powerful but may be ok for squirrels if they aren't too big. It is a clean gun though. I don't know much about the Nikko Sterling scope but the reviews I read were pretty good.

Sure has a thick recoil pad for a poodle shooter! Nice lookin rifle though, even if a 130 gr bullet at 3,000 fps can't hardly kill anything. 😏
Another nice one from Ricci. A Bolts are great rifles. He gets good stuff to auction.
Can it kill a leaf?
Not a Banana leaf.
I just got a SAKO V stainless in .300 Win. Mag. with a Leupold that is nice.
But it will kill a regular leaf in the creek from a deck?
If the leaf isn't too large or too far away, then yes.
That's a nice gun Ricci, I hope it does well for both you and the owner.
I have one with the half octagon barrel.
A walnut stocked 7-08 and a first run 12ga. smooth barrel, rifle sights and 5" rifled choke tube. I'm pretty sure those 1&1/4 oz slugs will penetrate a leaf. Not sure about a banana leaf though.
My .300 Win mag A-Bolt SS replaced my Safari grade ‘06 many years ago ,,,,,,,, and served me well; whitetail, mulies, antelope, elk, bear, lion, and more yotes than I can count.
