Cheesy Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 11,388 SW Missouri	Going to change my luck this year by carrying my Kimber 84M Classic in .308 Winchester. Just bought some TTSX bullets to try in it. Backup will likely be my Modely 70 .300 H&H.

Be bringing two rifles to camp- a M700 XCR in .338 with a shortened barrel, and a 7 WSM Kimber Montana. ..... unless I get a wild hair and buy that .350 mag I saw cheap... or a Kimber Whelen <g>.... The CENTER will hold. Reality, Patriotism,Trump: you can only pick two FÜCK PUTIN!

Hopefully I can get on one with my 10 & 9 year olds along again. They were a riot last time...

I am a primarily a bow hunter who loves to rifle hunt as well. Heck even muzzle loader. If going rifle, I would love to use my - new to me - .358 Norma Mauser with the 1.75 x 6 Luepy VX III. 250g Speer "A .358 Norma Mag is not for everyone but then again Bear hunting isn't either."

If i hunt western brush probably the Savage for the handiness. -Antiacus
