How about a virgin Marlin 336A .35 Rem waffle-top with aperture sight using factory loads with 180gr RN's??

Or a virgin Marlin 336SC Thutty-thutty waffle-top with aperture sight using factory loads with 170 gr RNs?

Or a 1st year Sako L61R Finnbear in .300 H&H with 180 grainers, but handloaded Swift Sciroccos?

Or a Sako L61R Finnbear in 30-06 using some old handloaded 165 gr RNs (maybe Speer?)?

Or a first gen Browning BLR 308 using 180 gr RNs? Have killed over 200 whitetails with that one.

Or a tanger Ruger 77R in 300 Win using 180gr RN handloads? Got a nice whitetail buck in the middle of a gawd-awful thunderstorm, then had to literally hang on for dear life to the trunk of a tree that blew down in front of me when a tornado came through.

And I've got a Stormy Kromer and some Bean's wool Johnson Guide Pants, with suspenders, and a pair of their Maine Guide boots I still use.

I ain't hit the requirement perzactly, but I've hit all around it as close as you can without nailing it dead center. wink crazy cool
