M1894,your story gave me chills!!

I picked up a 1981 vintage 336 30-30 that was very clean on a GunBroker auction that ended at the weird hour of 3:00 a.m. on a work night.
I got up out of bed and bid on it the last twenty minutes of the auction.
No one else bid on the rifle and I grabbed it for $275.00
Kept in the safe for a full year without even shooting it.
Just before deer season last year I put a small Burris Timberline 2x7x26 scope on it and sigted it in.
Took it out on opening day and the first shot at game had me a nice plump spike buck.
Later that morning I killed a hog.
The next weekend I killed a 250 pound boar.
Three shots,three kills.
I regret I did not take pictures to post.
These are much better rifles than a lot of people give them credit for and you guys know exactly what I am saying here.

Let me pull another one out of the archives here.

I shot this girl at 160 yards with a 170gr factory core-lokt bullet. Through the heart and down within 50 yards.

Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.

If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
