I went back and looked at my original post, and the tactical stuff that uninterests me. Well, I don't feel disgusted about it, just dulled by the trend that way and it might be a way for the industry to regain lost ground due to lessening hunting numbers. I don't know. I do know that I don't them, won't need them but I like any advancements they provide for sporting rifles . It does worry me that the trend seems to be less about a kid climbing the hill behind his house, his prized .22 single shot Cooey in hand and the borrowed stealth of the genius, mythical Big Game hunter we had just read about in Outdoor Life. That innocence is all but gone, buried in our memories . I can revive the thrill , however everytime I shoulder any rifle and climb any hill.
