I have a number of Elk capable quality rifles. I do have a favorite but would be willing to hunt with any of them at any time.
When family or friends need a rifle they can have their choice, including my favorite if for some reason they wish for that one.
I expect whoever uses my rifles to give them the same care that I would. One day number three grandson came back to camp with the rifle wet. I told him he needed to wipe it down and oil the metal.
His reply was that it was OK.
He learned right damn quick that what was OK for his rifle sure wasn't OK for mine.
First time I ever yelled at the kid, I don't expect it will ever be necessary again,
