I've lived most of my life in Colorado and Montana. I hunted deer, elk, moose, sheep, etc for over 35 years before I got my first belted case magnum rifle, a 7mm Rem mag. Five years later I built a .375 Rem Ultra mag, and another five years later I built my .300 Weatherby, which is now my favorite rifle. My biggest regret with the .300 Bee is that I didn't get it 45 years earlier.
