A rifle that really fits well gives me confidence. There are more than one that fit me well.

I probably could have stayed with just the first big-game rifle that I lucked into, and would have been just fine, as it has truly earned its nickname "Ol' Reliable." Even my wife calls it that, and if she really wants some meat for the table, she tells me to take the "real gun" and get it done.

Winchester 70 pushfeed 30-06 Featherweight in a very light factory synthetic made by the very early H&S Precision.

I, with it, have never not finished a killing job that we started.
