I get the 'hunts, outdoors, friends' thing. I only wish I had quality PIX from over the years to show places, people, game etc.

ATST when things ( a plan ) comes together and drops the dew of heaven on ya, what's not to like ?

I had wanted a 284 Win for a very long time ---- 'after' they were easily available !!!
I got this one from a Campfire Friend in ?? 2016 ?? It took me a while to mesh together the things to make it work for me.

In Oct 2017 it did what its suppose to do: Opening Day of our Doe Only Modern Gun Season !!

[Linked Image]


THEN on Opening Day of Regular Modern Gun Season It Did It Again !!

This guy was walking directly AWAY from me @ 175 yds. I had my Stoney Points and W/O hesitation >> I shot him in the BACK of the NECK !
Knocked His Nose in the DIRT ! Literally his nose hit the ground FIRST !!



Now this Rem M Six 270 W. I inherited from My Dad who passed 12/98 ! It's one of 4 Mod Sixes I have/had. My Son has my First one.
They work dependably. NO AMOUNT of $$$$ could buy this one!!

So..... I'll not say what I'm thinking !!

This one is a Mdl 98 8x57 wearing a 60's? vintage Bishop stock. Barrel was turned down and cut to 20". It's kinda bubba-esque but it handles well and was given to me when I was 14 by an old man that was like a grandfather. I've killed quite a few deer and black bear with it. I just like it, and with 195gr hornadys it stops stuff pretty quick. My 13 yr old has commandeered it now and that's fine by me.

I've got a Kimber Montana in 25-06 and agree, its a great handling rifle and when it goes to the woods meat is coming home. Never huge deer but good amount of meat comes home. I recently got a Bergara Ridge and its making its way toward the top spot in a hurry, but not quite there yet.

It was a cloudy day and I was in a Pine tree strip so it looks darker.

I don't have a definitive favorite. This BLR .358 has been getting the nod lately.
