All the power to anyone who can market and make a living doing it. They call them "limited runs" because the can't sell enough of them. Camp is where you make it.

I have a shorty in .358Win which occasionally sees some of the same country as yours. I have a "few" others but the short one is my favorite for WI and MI.

Most of time carbine, 47cm barrel and red dot sights on.

I'm from Wisconsin, hunt the Northwoods of Bayfield Co. In our camp all we use is pumps and levers. I've had my pump since 85 and taken many deer with it and no problems. I did switch it up a bit this year and "benoited" it. Cut the barrel and added a Peep. Comes up great, I'm really excited about next November already. look forward to joining the conversations! 07 deer tracked and taken at 70 yds. One of my bucks this past season, 30 yds still hunting. And my revamped sporty 76 Nice! Love the red and green plaid brigade! RGrim lemme guess.....did you flush those bucks outta hiding by rattling the forend of those 7600's,and killin' them on the run? Welcome to the CF! The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

We have a great group, lot's of fun! Although sometimes we take it a bit far! Ha Ha. If you see somebody cruisin through the woods in the red plaid chances are it's one of our RPG's (red plaid gang) Putting the hunt back into Deer Hunting- redplaidgang.com

Egspurts here on the 'fire know you can't do with less than a scoped Remington in at least 300 WM... Nice outfits though! Save an elk, shoot a cow.

The law always used to require one 3" spike then it went to a fork horn and now a buck must have at least two antler points 1" long to be legal in the firearms buck season. Thus I would rather not use irons. To each his own. In the past the most common rifle I saw in the VT forests was a Rem. 740 likely a 30-06. All guns should be locked up when not in use!

Although, one of our guys picked up a 35 Whelen this offseason so I'm interested in seeing that. One of the lever guys has had great luck with the 45/70 As far as the iron sights, as long as my eyes stay good I'm sticking with them. Opening day I spend in the tree with a scope but when I'm moving no thanks. Works for me. Hideous? must be talking about that earlier post with the tactical type with the silver barrel.
