So what was high on your wish list as a young hunter and did the dream ever come to fruition or did you move on?
When I was a young hunter in Wisconsin I coveted the local fur buyers Winchester 86 in 40-82 caliber. The tales he told about it made it sound like some sort of magic and made me think of my 30-30 as so inadequate. I never did get a 40-82 but did manage to acquire a Winchester 71 in 348. Eventually I came to realize just how much hype "ole Charlie" had poured into my young mind about the virtues of the 40-82, but I still wish I had one today.
