For me, lucky is an old Marlin 336 in 30-30.....

Send that poor thing out here, we'll get it broke in.
Don't tempt me.
This thing is a tack driver as well.
Soon as I left Brno home on a full time basis, my hide fetching
capacity changed, for the better.
Dad bought me this rifle when I was eleven or twelve.
That double set trigger sure makes it sweet to shoot.
This year I wish to pop the cherrie on the old 1894 25-35 that landed here this year.
I'm sure there is no white wedding dress for this old girl though.

Sounds like it makes you as lucky as the Canucks in Boston.
I'll PM you my mailing address.

My Model 700 in 300 RSAUM
I bought this gun in 2004, picked up from the post office after work one day, around 4:30 pm. Took it over to my buddies house, and mounted a borrowed scope on it. Hit the gravel pit around 6pm, and sighted it in. At about 7 pm I went into my stand, and waited for about 25 minutes (first day of my bear hunt) and there was a bear. Shot it at about threeyards, sitting on the ground hiding behind a stump. Ever since then I have been able to consitently put animals on the ground with this gun.

Don't susbscribe to "luck" in any form, so no "lucky" rifle in my safes.
Whatever I am packing at the time is the rifle for the job.
However, I have been told that I do not have a horseshoe up my a**, but rather the whole horse! lol.
Don't really worry about what is in my hands as long as I feel confident it will get the job done. Regards, Eagleye.

For some reason I replaced my old Marlin 30-30 with a Ruger bolt .270 even though most shots where I hunt are less than 100 yds. The Old marlin always did the job, would'nt do much at a range but in the woods, things just plain died when it was pointed in their general direction.
I worked on my first deer, hunting alone and not knowing what to do after pulling the trigger. It got the nice 6 point that walked up on my father and I when we were discussing how there were no deer in the area!
It worked in the swamp when I had a buck only tag and all I could see was one deer on top of another (trees blocked the heads) I figure it was the best way to go out that any creature could hope for!
Fortunately, I picked up a short barreled mossberg 12ga 2 years ago that seems to have the same habit of making things die from just being in the same area.
