Like many men, I was not immune to the obvious advantages of affordable rangefinders, superbly accurate bullets, the revolution in fine optics at affordable prices...but they are primarily for amusement purposes...who doesn't enjoy an accurate rifle? But because of the terrain I live and hunt in, the little 6.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer carbine (2 moa) with an ancient 3X Lyman post reticle is the huckleberry. The 156 grain roundnose at 2300fps is a humane and effective bullet even when the old fart wobbles a little.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
