I wouldn't make the $1000 cut but I would take either a stainless mod 70 classic or a stainless Hawkeye dropped in a McMillan. I'd run a Leupold fixed 6 with Dots

Although any cartridge between 280 to 338wm would be fine I would go for either an 06 or 300wsm.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge

I love this statement.......



No truer words have been spoken here.... wink


I believe it goes like this:

Fella gets his first "deer" rifle and picks ammo based on an ad in Field and Stream. "Hmmm, maybe I'll get the green box "this year"....

Then come the customs, reloading, pushing the schit out of every load and grain of powder.

Then a pile of schit in the safe and on the bench.

Then starts narrowing down what "overlaps" in his mind.

Then down to one load per rifle, that's it. Not monkeying with every bullet and powder combo out there searching for the holy grail.

Finally realizes that through all the R&D and skullphucking that's he's actually become quit proficient with anything that has a trigger.

Finds out that there wasn't much he couldn't have done with the first one he got 25 years ago. Confidence level through the roof now.

Applies the other "KISS" principle, dumps all the baggage, buys a standard rig and factory ammo.

Lives happily ever after........




Read a post on here years ago that basically told that story, interesting perspective and too true to be funny....


You were watching me fo years........
