Life is too damn short to hunt with an ugly gun.
Which is why, I barely look at the new guns when in a gun shop.
I have not been impressed with anything the gun companies have produced in a number of years.
For the same or less money for what they want for most of the run of the mill ugly crap, a guy can buy a classic quality rifle with 3-4 generations of use left in it.
Like a Belgium Browning Safari Grade, Winchester Model 70, or a vintage Remington 721, etc..........
