Not only do I not plan a new rifle before next hunting season, I have a Savage 111 action and stock waiting for a new barrel. Bought it a year ago and now an wondering why - I need another rifle like I need cancer.

Right now I'm spending my time building ammo for firearms I already have (something I commonly do this time of year) and, when I find reasonable prices, buying more components. Not that I need them now, either, but I don't see the shortages ending within the next year, maybe two.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
