Seems like my young nephews & grandsons gravitate towards the msgs. I have a 15 yo grandson that is pretty sure he Needs my 300WM. They all seem to like shooting the Whelens as well.
Conversely, anytime they can get their hands on an AR, well... an empty case will hard to find.
Last deer season I took several deer with 270's & a 300
Savage. Liking the Savage a lot!

Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
