Bob -

Is that signature new or have I just not noticed it before?

In any case, my 7mm RM was my first centerfire in 1982 and my only bolt-action big game rifle for 20+ years. It go used for everything from light varminting to elk.

Now I have a safe full of rifles, lever, bolt and semi-auto and find myself asking the same question. The answer I keep coming up with is "They are fun and I can". Works for me, although I now find myself wanting suppressors for subsonic use with my Ruger .308 Scout and AR .300 Blackout rather than new rifles.

BTW, congrats on your new Remington .280 pump carbine - it looks like a beauty and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
