Re: Favorite Rifle?

REMINGTON MODEL 7 .308 I HAVE A LEUPOLD 2-7X33 LR DUPLEX ON IT. LOVE THE SHORT BARREL KNOCKS PIGS DOWN WITH AUTHORITY. I HAVE NEVER SHOT IT ON PAPER OTHER THAN SIGHTING IN AND CHECKING BUT I REFER TO IT AS "HARRY POTTER'S MAGIC WAND" ALL I HAVE TO DO IS POINT IT AT SOMETHING AND IT DIES!

Re: Best Fixed Blade for Elk?
