teal,
Some equipment is local and it's often interesting how that comes to be. 'Croix makes some fair to middlin' stuff and I can't cuss 'em.
Don't try a Loomis.(grin)
Coal',
I drive old school PP expressly and by design.
The schit is simply [bleep] amazing.

PP everywhere and yellow is a marked preference.
I never don't not have a rifle over the shoulder and I've seen me schlep a Montucky 223AI with frequency. Tough act to follow.
I'm more than a touch comfy with it and the ilk.(grin)
