I don't have any "new' rifles. Right now I am tinkering with a 1907 Winchester 94 in 38-55. I put a globe sight on the front this week and a Lyman tang sight arrived yesterday.Waiting for some .381 bullets powder coated from Penn Bullets now. Also have a 1901 or so Marlin 94 in 38-40, 1964 Winchester 88 in.308, M1 Garand, 1974 TC Hawkin.

Elk rifle is a1952 Model 70 in.06.Pronghorn is a Swede Mauser in 6.5 or a old sportarized mauser in.243. Shotgun is Fox Sterling worth SXS era,1911.Wife has newer Franchi though.

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
