In a prior post today about what bullets you use, I mentioned a .30-06 and that I may use a partition. Have never killed a single Deer with a partition, but when I wrote it I wondered if it would get a rise from Bob. Well, now we know the answer to that.
I'm sure there will be more than once when I hunt with a Model 70 that BobinNH will be remembered. So, if there is another Deer season, a partition it will be.

My dear friend Bob died early this morning. He was surrounded by his family. He had been ill for some time.
I am broken hearted. He was very kind and helpful. Just recently, he gave me motivation to resurrect a Featherweight I had collecting dust. M70 Featherweight That rifle will take on new meaning. He will be missed.

Wow, don't know what to say. He was a true gentleman and will be missed for sure. From the pictures posted here and his posts here it sounded like he lived a great life. 67 is too young though. Godspeed Bob.

 Godspeed my friend. Y'all were Kansas hunting partners right? Sorry to hear about the loss of a friend (in person or cyber) to so many campfire members.
Regards,

I am shocked. Exchanged many PMs with Bob cussing discussing M70 and bullets. I'm going to miss him. RIP.

I will miss your contributions Bob.
Thoughts and prayers to your family.

I am pretty sure he was 67.
I'll ask about the obit 260. I though that if the obituary is in the Union Leader, any 24HCF member who wanted to leave a note of condolence could easily do so using the guest book feature.

Bob, I rest assured you're cussing and discussing the 7 Mags and the .270 with Art M, Warren P, Les B, Mike W, Fred H, Roy W, Jack O'C...and Elmer penning the dissent!
Hoisting a '15 George T Stagg to you...from the modern St Hubert, Patron Saint of Hunters prayers:
By the intercession of St. Hubert, patron saint of hunters, may you always honor God the Creator, who set man in dominion over all the animals.
May the Lord God make you an honorable hunter who respects fellow hunters, the animals, and all creation;
May He keep safe you and all who share the field or the forest;
May He make all hunters proud of their kill, generous with their meat, and thankful in all circumstances.
May God bless you: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Damn. Condolences to Bobs family and friends, and Godspeed to you, BobinNH.
I always enjoyed Bob. Enjoyed tweaking him about 280's and AI's.
