I purchased a Rem 700 BDL 308 Win in 1977 with my first Christmas bonus from my first job. I foolishly sold that gun a year later. Last Easter I was able to repurchase that same gun. I told the guy how much I regretted chasing other cartridges, especially magnums, thinking they held true success having convinced myself then that bigger was better.

How foolish I was. I have that gun in my possession again after 32 years. It is not necessarily second place but I do have a current love affair with a Sako Finnlight 300 WSM. Both it and the 308 will never be owned by another until I relinquish stewardship by death.
