i have been through the remingtons, rugers, winchesters, etc. then started playing with mausers and building my own savages the way i wanted them.

this year i have been simplifying, selling the toys and now hunt with a mauser sporter vz24 in 257 roberts, and a savage barreled to 250 savage. have less than $700 in them total, very accurate and do everything i need them to do.

nice expensive stuff is great, but not necessary for me to enjoy time outdoors.
