You're being kind of tough on me, Rory. Especially if you mean all 5 Utica cartridges. It's the journey that's important.

Something you can use for shade on the beach if you remove the D handle and stick it in the sand upside down.

I've got an Alaskan or two, not sure I've got the 7/8" Stith. I've still got to shoot an elk with a 30-30 but was thinking of using a 30-30 SRC.

Wish someone would find a case of those 7/8 Stiths in an old warehouse and put them on the market. Been looking for one myself for a while. What better way to break the Christmas 30 30 in than a Christmas Elk. GW

It'll have to be next year. I used up the last of my licenses when I killed that cow with the 308 tomato stake. I'll probably get a lightfoot mount and put one of those whiz bang scopes with radar or some kind of electronic range finding on the 30-30TS. I'm sure I'll need to know the range within + or - one inch since I'll be shooting under 200 yards.
I talk so much about tomato stakes I'm just going to abbreviate it to TS from now on.

And that scope will need to 12 to 36 power also.

It takes skillful hammer work getting 12 to 36 power scopes in 7/8 Stiths.

I was talking about a Lightfoot mount. If I had a 7/8' Stith I'd used an Alaskan.

It really is a beauty. When I get all three uncheckered TS's together for a photo session it's going to make the 300 look really bad and the checkered 250-3K isn't going to look too good either.
