I just read this entire thread and found it highly entertaining. I truly do hope Big Chief finds his perfect rifle someday, and also some serious help in the metacognition department. I'm a guy that loves to acquire new rounds to work up and play with, but I find it somewhat funny that he trashes the only gun I will never sell, because if I somehow don't get load development done with whatever new caliber I'm playing with, I just grab my M70 Classic FWT .30-06 and some 165 gr. BT's or Partitions and go kill stuff, dead.
