Wife looking over your shoulder? No. I just can't settle on The plan yet. Just send me the money and I'll put it to good use.  Been thinking of getting a .22 Hornet,Winchester Featherweight .270 or a lever action caliber unknown. There was an interesting article in this month's Shooting Times (I think) on the .358 Win. BLR in your future? A .358 Win hmmm maybe.

Just don't tell my 270 killed stuff it had no merit. They probably had a weak constitution...dicky hearts.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Of course, I'm also holding my breath waiting for my wife to pull into the driveway in a new Durango Citadel and dare me to even make a peep.

We'll be married 17 years next month and well she pissed off at me right now.  In other words a normal day.  MagMarc,true.

I like that thin forearm. A bit shorter and it'd almost pass for a Rigby!

I like that thin forearm. A bit shorter and it'd almost pass for a Rigby! Thanks! It's a "lightweight" model. I'd gotten a replacement FW stock (w/ schnabel) for it before shooting it a bunch offhand and now thinking it'll stay as-is. The tube is a .280 Rem FW take-off. Planning on some lower TLWs (these are med), a Leupold, and a 1" red decelerator but for now I am really enjoying it as-is.

You ought to post it on the "fencepost" forum if you haven't.
