My taste has stayed constant. I always want what I don't have. Of course, I want to keep the other stuff too.

I have what I want and want what I have & know why I have it.
A lightweight Remington 280 in a TI stock, barely under 7 lbs scoped.
A Weatherby Mark V that I had lusted for since 1977. It is getting a new 7 Dakota barrel.
An Encore with a Shilen S.S. barrel in 7 Wby. Weighs 8 lbs and is 38.5" long with its 24" barrel. It shoots lights out.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Give me a well balanced rifle (light or heavy) in a stock that fits me, chambered for a pleasant cartridge, and I'm pretty happy. SS barrels, good triggers, turrets, and friendly eye relief only add to the package. Me too.

In the 60 plus years since my first firearm I don't believe I have changed my mind about what I think is the perfect rifle,shotgun or handgun. I still buy and build to that same pattern today. If you looked at the guns in my cabinets today they would all look remarkably alike. I even still like the same style automobiles as I did then. Guess I just have no imagination. But then I liked the last steak I had as much as I liked the first one I can remember.
