Does anyone hunt grouse with a rimfire/centerfire rifle or handgun instead of a shotgun? I know Elmer Keith wrote about plunking grouse with a .44 Special, but I wonder how common it is nowadays to hunt these birds sans shotgun.
If I take a shine to small game hunting I will definitely look into a shotgun as my next gun, since Upland hunting has always appealed to me. In the meantime I may decide to sell my Marlin 925 and pick up a Savage MK2 so that I can have a lefty gun. Being a lefty, I can fire the bolt action pretty quickly without a scope, but reaching over a scope may become a hassle.
