I traded a stainless 77 Ruger and thought I had made the deal of the century until I figured out it wouldn't feed right (it was built on a 700 action, and they had issues) and it grouped 4 inches because I assume the barrel was shot out. Then there was the ammo or the lack thereof. I unloaded it to a guy wanting the action for a build. Oddballs I have now is a 460 Rowland on a Springfield frame and a 480 Ruger Super Redhawk.

When I started hunting in AL 40+ years ago I used whatever I could get my hands on, usually my father's Model 70 30.06. He eventually gave it to me as he rarely hunted. I used it for years until the bowhunting bug took over with me. Guns took a hard backseat for awhile. When my health dictated I go back to guns, I went back to the 30.06 and finally to a 25.06 and that has been my go to since. We have a hunter from out of state every year that comes to visit for a few days in January that has a Ruger #1 in 257 Roberts and I'd be lying if I said I didn't lust after that rifle. Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
