As a JO'C fan I wanted a duplicate of his favorite M70 270 by Alvin Biesen.
But the one that lingers most fervently in my memory was a Sako 222 FS with very light colored wood that was in a local gun store. I can still see it in my mind's eye after nearly 50 years. I do not recall ever even handling it because it was far too expensive for my meager income - but it remains in my memory - while retention of more meaningful information (e.g. people's names and faces) has long since crumbled to dust!
"It is wise, though, to remember above all else: rifle, caliber, scope, and even bullets notwithstanding, the most important feature of successful big game hunting is to put that bullet in the correct place, the first time!" John Jobson
