Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight. What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal? A polar bear. Did you hear they arrested the devil? Yeah, they got him on possession. www.wvcdl.org

Not embarrassed by it. I have a bunch of rifles. Some are pretty darn nice by many's judgement, most are 700s, 77s, and 70s. I seem to pick up one of my two Tikkas most these days when headed afield. My favorite lately is a T3 Hunter 260 Rem with a take-off platic stock, sporting a coat of Krylon and loaded with 125 partitions over H4831. One hole accuracy. Chit dies.

On a side note, if you want to consider a turd of a different color: I picked up a Marlin XS7 (stainless) in 243 recently as a loaner/wife/beater gun. It looks and feels cheap as a squirt gun. Turns out that it shoots 85 TSXs, over IMR4064 or Varget, under an inch with boring regularity.
