Yes. Nancy and I leave Sunday after next. November 16th. I am worse than a little kid. I struggle with "which" caliber gun I should bring. Right now I have packed a .308 EG. A proven gun that I made a 225 yard shot on a deer. And an 1899 250-3000. An oldtimer I have never hunted with but shoots paper great. My dilemma is I really want to take an octagon barrel .303 Savage instead of the .308. The .303 also shoots great. HELP me................ smile smile



I look forward to your hunt report. Your Anticosti pictures and stories are one of the highlights of the hunting season for me.

I would probably take the .303


The change has been made. .308 EG exchanged for 1899B. 26" barrel, .303 Savage, Stith repro mounted Lyman 3X with post/no crosshair. Thanks guys for the encouragement to making the change. The 1899 250-3000 is still my second rifle.



Outstanding LBK! I'm already looking forward to the pics of the game you take take with those fine calibers. smile
