Just finished reading it. Good story on the Ithaca shotgun. I had been watching it too and wish I had bought instead of watched. Tell Eileen that was a great story on the pack train trip.

Thanks for the heads-up. I haven't even got the email alert from Eileen yet.

Some good articles JB.
I wish I'd picked up another Super Slam when they were available.

Great Mule Deer quote:

"The epoxy 'inletting' around the head of the
stock looked like a bull rider who’d been stomped after
being bucked off, then wrapped in various brown-stained
casts."

That is so descriptive that I get it, even though I've never seen a bucked-off bull rider, stomped and in casts. I can actually visualize the bull rider, and then picture the repaired stock, two depictions in one.

My favorite descriptive quote is his comparison of a rifle's trigger pull to the door handle of a ranch pickup, but this is a close second.

Good stuff.

As usual enjoyed it very much. I always try to not read it all at once, never works.
