Killed my first whitetail with a Winchester Super X Model 1 12 gauge shotgun and slugs while stationed at APG MD in 1976.

My first deer rifle was a Ruger M77 in .270 WIN my wife bought me in early 1978.

I still own both guns, the Ruger killed a doe this season.


One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
