Very rough modern equivalent of the M6:
Savage Model 42. Polymer sights suck, though. I think that the old Savage Model 24 was made in all sorts of interesting calibers, like .357/20g and .30-30/12g for instance, in addition to vario...

Re: Small stuff
@David- he wants it for hunting, so the P-32 is really NOT what he's looking for. If he's willing to degrade himself by buying a Kel-Tec I would propose that a PMR-30 is better for his nee...

VBL

Re: "Here is the link: http://goo.gl/maps/TLuI5" Oh, yeah- if all you intend is gunkholing near shore I suspect that a packraft will work just fine. I'd just be sure to check t...
