If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

6-pack,
Tried and it worked. What caliber is your RSI? Fine lookin' rifle.
I should be the proud new owner of a K1-A in .35 Whelen Monday.
I'll post a new spread when I get done with work. (I hate when work gets in the way of my hobby!!)

I just ordered a #1S Medium Sporter in a 45-70 which, should be delivered to my FFL in the next week or so. They are hard to find and I had to order it sight unseen and can only hope the wood will look half a good as some wood pictured in this thread.
Most of the rifles I've bought in the last few years have been for hunting and were stainless steel with composite stocks. I just couldn't order a single shot 45-70 in anything but American walnut and blued steel. It will not be scoped but, I haven't settled on what sights to get if the factory sights don't work for me. Can't wait to get it in and start working up hand loads using hard cast bullets.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
