Back when I was involved in some trading, a guy that I knew pretty well came up to my table and told me that he had a gun I would really like but he wasn't gonna turn it loose.

What is it, I axed.

Remington 700 but came from the factory with a Winchester barrel.

How do you know that, I axed again.

He says because it is stamped on the barrel ".270 Winchester."

I tried to explain to him that the .270 was a Winchester developed cartridge and that was the reason for it being stamped like that but to this day, he still doesn't believe me.

I showed him a Sako I had that was stamped "7 MM Remington Magnum" but he just shook his head and walked off.





The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
