What will you be toting this year? #2328730 07/23/08

My .358 Model 7 blacktail thwacker, now upgraded to 375-yard status, and my .325 WSM Montana. Where one leaves off, the other TAKES off in spades. I think it's an oddball, and yet perfect, combo. However... heh heh... just for backup purposes you understand I'll also be bringing my .338 to Colorado and most likely my .325 BLR to elk camp in Oregon. That's my plan, and I'm stickin' to it!

The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I'll pack along one of the 257 roy's to POW in October for deer and black bear. And life wouldn't be the same without having the 358 Norma in hand to look for moose and chase bear. Got plenty of hunts lined up this year, and with a year old house, there is room on the walls for stuff!

Not happy unless I'm anguishing over something..... The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I do have a new .338 Win Mag, Classic Model 70. I want to blood it, so I will take at least one deer with it too. I will use several different 12 gauges (Win 21 & Mossberg 535) for dove, upland game, rabbit, and later turkeys in the spring. One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others. Archibald Rutledge

Texas whitetail will get either a .223, .22-250, or other .22 centerfire that I'm in the mood for. I will then post pictures in the Campfire b/c .22 centerfires can't kill deer. Varmints will get either a .22 magnum, .223, .22 Hornet, or .204 Ruger dependent on mood. - Greg Success is found at the intersection of planning, hard work, and stubbornness.

Among them, the options are as follows: Marlin 336CS .30-30 170g Speer FP 170g Nosler Partition RN Ruger M77 .257 Roberts 120g A-Frame 115g TSX Reminton M700 BDL .308 Win 165g North Fork 165g TSX 168g TTSX Remington M700 Special Purpose Wood .30-06 165g North Fork 165g TSX 168g TTSX Savage 111GNS .30-06 168g TTSX Ruger Super Redhawk .44 Mag 240g Speer JFP 300g Speer Uni-Cor SP Game will be doe antelope, buck deer, and cow and bull elk. Lots of time left to decide. Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE! No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's. A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
