Yes - they are junk but I'm not getting rid of it. Other is a PF Win 70 (originally a 30-06 carbine) that is now in an EDGE and a Pac-Nor 30-06 barrel. Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about.

Sold the 98 that replaced it two years later to buy my Marlin. It has been around (and is to stay) since 2002. Max (the pup) and I chased a leg shot deer for miles yesterday and I dispatched it with that Marlin. Member of the Merry Band of turdlike People.

I got it and thought I was in heaven. I also got the little Sharps from Woolworth's when they were around 89 cents. I had to pick up a few pop bottles to pay for it. If you think ammo is expensive for those big double rifles, think again. Original Shootin' Shell ammo will run you around $45.00 for two and 6 plastic bullets...

Cheesy Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 11,407 Likes: 1 SW Missouri	Remington 700 ADL .270 in 1993, I was 13, paid for it with money made hauling hay, picking up black walnuts, and mowing yards. Haven't shot anything with it in a few years, but through high school and college it was good for at least 2 or 3 deer a year. On sale at Kmart, $330 for ADL, $360 for BDL. I didn't like the BDL's when I was 13 and still don't at 29. Last edited by Cheesy; 12/21/09. Reason: added cost

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile. Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe) Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
