My grandfather was a 30 cal guy and so was my dad. When I started deer hunting my grandfather gave me a 30-30. I soon graduated to a 30-06 and that led to a 300RUM. Then one evening when I was about 60 I saw an ad on GB for a M70 FWT in 270 and having just reread one of JOC's books for the umteenth time, I put a bid on it. What the heck, it was cheap and someone will surely bid more. Nope. After shooting several deer and an elk I keep wondering what took me so long to wise up. Maybe my handle should be "Slow Learner".
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor
