All needed in Maine is a Remington M870 and 000 buckshot!
Even birds know not to land downwind!

Here's one for you.....built by Smith's Custom Guns in Warren, PA for an apparently "savvy" Amish man  . ![[Linked Image]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s88/Damariscotta/Remington%20760%20240%20Weatherby_zpsvjrspsmq.jpg) .240 Weatherby w/ a Schmidt/Bender scope, fluted barrel and graphite pattern synthetic stock. Just test fired the other day and was groping between 0.5 and 0.75" for 3 shots at 100yds. Should be a deer killing machine! PennDog That is unique but makes no sense to me.

Yea I got a chuckle out of this outfit....all the components make some sense by themselves but together its just not "right" - that all said I bet this Amishman piles them up with this one (most of the Amish guys use 760s in .270 but I can't figure out how they hit much of anything with some of condition/scopes that these rifles are in!!)

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

When I get another it will be a 35. Rem or Whelen. I can keep eyes out for either. 35 Rem. I like the 70s version with the high gloss stock Me too! Bought five over the last couple of years. AND, no, they aren't for sale.

The Amish use .30-06 pumps almost exclusively in the Lancaster/Lebanon area that I hail from.

Sounds good but I'm in no big rush.
Thanks for being on the look out for me.
We finally got one of those Cabelas stores less than 90 minutes away but the used selection is sparse, heck the selection of new stuff isn't great either.

I went to Cabelas in Rock Hill SC and I was shocked. It wasn't but half the size of a normal Cabelas.

The one right outside of Chattanooga is the same as Bristol, I didn't even stop when I went through Rock Hill. After going to Hamburg and Wheeling the new ones really suck.

Hamburg used to be 45 minutes from my house. These new stores should be called "Cabelaettes".

Look at the size of the "big" Cabela's. Man, you've got to move a lot of merchandise to support stores that size. Not every store has to be that giant. If the economy and more importantly the tourism in the area can't support a big store, this is what you get. Does everyone really need 87 different kinds of jerky to choose from at the front door?

They should as least be able to carry as many guns and reloading supplies as Sportsmans Warehouse. It's nice to have it this close but not its not nearly what I expected.

I never got the 'excitement' of having a Cabelas opening nearby.
I am HAPPY to not have one in my state, WTF to I want to pay state sales taxes for online orders.
Yankees...
