No guns allowed inside,large wooden rack outside tent awning. It housed 7mm,30-06,308,308 norma,340 WM,8MMRM,300H&H,375, AND MY little ol 243.Could not wait to get a real elk gun some day.Most guys in the mountains had there 300,s and 338s.Ialways remebered these 2 cowboys hunting the high country with their 340WM, AND talk of shots at 700 yrds, this was all before a 338 lapua or laser existed.The local sporting shop always had a 340, and I longed for one. I have spent quite some time in the mountains now, many a elk I have seen fall, to the 338.
