I got drafted into the US Army before I really got to use it, then through most of the '70s that rifle kept my freezer full of elk, deer, and antelope meat. In 1978 I had it re-chambered to .30 Gibbs and into the '90s I had some fantastic DIY hunts with that rifle... SAVE 200 ELK, KILL A WOLF NRA Endowment Life Member

Looking at some of these rifles makes me think about the “trophy wife” …..they look great but ain’t good for much other than their looks! Our definition of a “hunting rifle” varies greatly from dome’s vision! I see a “hunting rifle” as a tool, something to use…..not baby when hunting! I know that I ruffled some feathers, that was not my intention ….merely a poor boys observation! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024

I have plastic stock rifles for beater or loaner occasionally.

I do but some tools at Home Depot and other places that provide decent quality tools! By the way….your recently posted rifle photo showed a good tool.

I know that I ruffled some feathers, that was not my intention ….merely a poor boys observation! memtb Another observation....... I happen to enjoy "investments that shoot". I rarely buy new or commission customs. Rather I try to buy at 40% to 60% of MSRP. Remington Model 7, Custom Shop, 7mm-08. I use them, but do not abuse them. Remington 700 Custom Shop, 300 Win Mag. I find that it is hard to lose by making a profit, and at which time should I become financially embarrassed or tire of said rifle, it usually is not hard to find someone that it will follow home. ya!

Although I don't have the finest examples, I am grateful for what I've been blessed with. I do admire those presented in these pages from Shrapnel's older gems to geedubya's newer works of art and all the other fine ones. Thanks for showing them fellers, I for one love to see them! Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths.
