Are you interested in selling that top rifle?
I REALLY like that thing.
Ha! Thanks. I'll hunt this one till my days are over.
Not sure the blueprint can be beat. Plus, it was just nicely banged up, from new...

It would be oh so tough to beat it.
Those marks are high altitude marks. Blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
I'm going to carry either my trusty Tikka T3 6.5x55 or Marlin 1894 .44 most days. I also want to field a old Heym drilling in 16+16+9.3x72r that i just picked up. It shoots about 2.5" at 100yds so it should be up to most of the shooting situations in our area.
Well , my new to me Wby Mrk V in .257 Wbee .
Or the Browning Ti Abolt in 325 wsm they will both see some time in the beetle kill zones this fall.
Trouble is which one for the moose Leh in 5-01?
Tight Groups,
Rob

Mine's an easy choice, for the early ML season...a Traditional(Lyman).54cal. perc. with 450 gr. Plains Conicals. For rifle season... Marlin .45/70 with Peeps and firesights and new 405gr. large hollow point cast bullet or C. Sharps '74 in 50/90 Sharps and 450 gr. large Hollow Pt. Cast bullet in front of 105grs of Swiss# 1 1/2 fg black powder.
I didn't get drawn for Moose this year so I don't need to bring out the big stuff.

(Hi Ben, haven't heard from you for awhile)
This year for everything with four legs, a new to me TIKKA T3 Lite in 9.3 X 62 shooting handloaded 286gr Hornady Sp-RP over 58grs RL-15 at 2420 fps. Was checking my bear baits in south-central Ont last week and had a brief standoff with Mr. Bruin at 20 yards! I was the one who backed down graciously as he (she?) fixed me with a stare and ears at full alert. Season opens Sept. 1st.
My back-up will be my long-time favorite Ruger No.1 in .45-70 Improved (AKA .458WM) flinging a 400gr Barnes at 2347 fps.

New to me Ruger M77 Hawkeye .308 for deer, haven't slected a cartridge yet but probably 150 grain, and an Enfield .303 for backup. The Turkeys around here can look forward to facing a 12g Benelli pump gun, full choke, loaded with Winchester 3" Turkey ammo.
