After checking the carcass in the inventory, confirming that it was there, he pulled the interface back and continued on his way. While walking down the forest floor with firm and easy steps, he shifted his body and arms into a more comfortable position and lowered his firearm into a resting position. He has been holding it for a long time already. Thus, he needs to rest, even if it is for a little bit.
He had stashed the bolt-action rifle again a while ago because if an emergency came and he needed to shoot immediately, it would make more sense if he were to use a pistol first. Because it is easier to raise and fire when it is in a rifle, which has a larger and longer body, and would require far more adjustments, and could potentially risk losing out on precious time in a fight, especially in a long-range battle.
