Was it really a "guy" swap? I have heard Doris might be a little tolerant of some of the Rip and Tear shenanigans, but ... You are one lucky feller Jim that I was indisposed when Mutt posted that collectible relic of history.

Met him at the Sportsmen's show last year. Nice guy!

I think we should all meet George at Camp Rip and Tear. He of course, supplies the foamers. LOL He is a class act. Foamers in stock. Just waiting for company to share. Cut a bunch of firewood at camp. I came home with the forecast for the usual Good Friday rain. Of course when I got home Ms Doris had work for me to do. I plowed and disced the garden and had one heck of a time hooking up the disc. Mugs was happy to see me home. By the way, bawanajim and his W 1 FE unit are nice people, but they are lucky to have that dog. He is a really nice furry person. Nice to have met all three of you.

With luck I will get to St, Thomas for a longer visit, and if any of are in the area look him up, he's one of the good ones. I hope you do get to visit him in St Thomas some day. His other "house" is the house to see. That is where all of his mounts are from across the globe. Plenty of stories to be told in that room.

The knees aren't what they used to be. bye

The only magnums I own are 22 rimfire, a few 44's, a 357, and although not a true magnum....I would dare anyone to shoot of five quick lever action shots with my full bore 405gr deer loads from my Marlin 1895XL in 45-70. All of 'em are just to much fun to shoot. Reason #-whatever to reload. I do like the 7mm Mag, but I've been looking....and really not all that hard yet....at the new Nosler 26. Nosler has recently released a Nosler 27 as well. The 26 is a 6.5mm that will fling a 129gr at 3400fps. The Nosler27 is the 7mm model, but Nosler has not yet released any load data on that one yet. I would need a Savage long action and simply wrench on a Shilen barrel to it and have at it!!

I've "unmagnumized". They are fun but I just don't believe they help anything under 500 yards and I'm not interested in shooting that far. Magnums .375" and up are a different story though.

In my magnum days, we used 7 Mags for deer at 700 yds, and groundhogs at 500-1000 yds.
It was fun, but, for what I hunt now, not needed. 260 or 308 is all thats needed.

Some people buy stocks and other people buy "stocks" I like the fact that there's no capital gains on stocks with barrels.
