I had a beautiful winchester over under 12 gauge. I got it second hand, and it was the first gun I ever owned. I still miss it.

I think a 'battery" shoudl reflect perfect exaples of what the person likes to do.

For example if the guy hunts coyotes, big game and grizzlies, it shoudl be somehting like:

223

30-06

338

And ¥ou can mix and match this anyway you want..the 223 can be a 22-250, the 30-06 aq 7-08 ot a 300WM, and the 338 a 35Whelen or a 416Rm..whatevcer...

Point is, owning half a dozen "general purpose" rifles like 270/30-06/303/308 etc is pointelss...

Might as well own ONE PERFECT rifle, wiht PERFECT optics than a bunch of middle of the road guns, with cheap optis...

I sold a rifle to buy a bow. I don't regret selling the rifle but I do regret buying the bow.

I still have a Wingmaster in 16 G that I got for my 15th birthday, have my dear old dad's pride and joy 1950 Model 70 Featherlite. No one to hand them down to as my daughter doesn't want them... Franko Manini wants me to adopt him for this purpose! He would need to sign a contract to come change my diapers and bring me venison when the time comes though!

Venison sure... Diapers? I think not.

No regrets in our house as Mr. Farside won't sell a gun so nuttin to regret.

I personally would like him to give 1 rifle and 1 shotgun to our nephew once he completes his POL. The young man needs them as he has 3 growing boys to feed.

Is that the one that ejects/cocks out the bottom? My buddy just picked up a really nice used one. He has a little suitcase for it broken down. We have put around 2000 rounds through it since he got it. It is an excellent gun, and has yet to jam up, even using bulk ammo. This one can be loaded from the end of the stock, or from a hole in the side of the butt.

Yes ,the one i had ejected the cartriges out the bottom of the action ,dam i wish i still had it.
