Seems I've been remiss.
Daughter and SIL living on Afognak, my wife visiting them now while I tend the home fires. Wishing the SIL happy b'day on the phone the other day found out he owns 2 shotguns and a .270 rifle......that's it.
I'd sent down a Rem model 7 in .243 for my daughter, but it appears I've left the SIL undergunned.
well till now anyway
found him a Win 70 in 375 H&H stainless with a 22 inch barrel for a good price today
freakin ammo for that stuff is a bit spendy
80 rds set me back $210
but he's oh so worth it, he's a wonderful husband to my daughter, wonderful father to our granddaughters and the kid is a working fool that loves the outdoors
and he's got pride, hates for us to spend a nickel on him and is not crazy about what we spend on our daughter or granddaughters.
guess the lil [bleep] can always give it back
but he'd best plan on handing it back barrel first if so
off to the gunsmith tomorrow to lighten the trigger up a bit and then off to the mailman on Thursday
it'll be a bit belated b'day present, but I sure hope he likes it.
