If I don't draw a LE tag, then I may just lug my Knight Wolverine 209 in .50 Caliber around the hills. Only time will tell. Last edited by Fire Hawk; 02/10/12.

Will take the Winchester 1895 in 405 win as backup. Love them big holes. Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.

Sneak 10 yards closer, the 7 mag will work fine... The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
