As close to an all-around rifle as you can get east of the Mississippi. Will be interesting to see when where this one ends up... Last edited by Orion2000; 07/29/19.

I wouldn't mind having this but hunts and using what I got is more important than keep adding when I have too many that I don’t use now. Roy

But I have CRS... I understand the "more hunting. less collecting." However it is tempting. Only thing I would change would be to swap out the J-wart. And then coat it. And then maybe a Timney. And then maybe... ... Y'all are a bunch of enablers...
