I'm a hunting loony too, like many here. Whatever season is open, I'm all in.

Dog, I"m not sure how old you are, but I am 58 and about 10 years ago now I went through much the same thing you are considering. I wound up selling several L61R's in various cartridges, a handful of Steyr MII's, and a few others. It left me with Tikkas in 7mag, 30-06, 7mm08, an old 30-30, and added a couple of 6.5CM's (tikkas) that are stupid good. This covers everything I do....Africa, open country deer, creek bottom hogs, etc. I like where I am with it all. You'll still be kickin' ass with whatever you have in your hands, much like GregW, Jud, and Jordan.

My T3X likes those ELDX's too, alot.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
