I've taken whitetail here in Texas with my Model 29 8 3/8" barrel, no scopes at fifty to sixty yards. Have taken smaller whitetail (does) with my 686 8 3/8" barrel at around forty yards with a 180 bullet.
I carry one or the other in a shoulder rig when hunting in case a deer "pops up" at a range that I think would just flat be unsporting to shoot with a long gun.
