Always infatuated with deer hunting as a youth......In 1982, I walked into Best Products and walked out with a Remington 700 BDL in 30-06. I picked the best wood out of the three they had at the time. It is still in my safe. Near flawless and I cannot bring myself to let it go...
If my first big game rifle was near flawless I'd be too embarrassed to mention it. I hunted Laurel, Greenbriar, and swamps in the rain and snow with that thing. I climbed trees, crossed deadfalls, and traversed boulder fields with it. It was a 760 Remington 30-06 and it showed the use. I sold it to my kid brother when he needed a rifle and he pissed it away. Now I wish I had it bad because every mark on that rifle told a story. And that's the way it should be.
