[QUOTE="25 Otter, post: 443538, member: 26801"] Not at all tank. I can talk rifles day and night. It happens every year. I'm sitting on stand,the same stand I hunt every opening day. Inevitably my thoughts turn to rifles. A long shot on this stand is 70 or 80 yards. The place was timbered 10 years ago,so you can imagine what sort of cover we are dealing with. Well,there I sit,with a 26 inch barreled 300 Ultra,or maybe the 30/06,7Mag,or 300 Winchester mag. I can't count the times I designed and re-designed a little tack driver for "Woodstails". Last season it took to the last day of the season,but I finally got a crack at a legal buck. I had carried my 30/06 all season,but decided to change my luck for the last day and took the 300 Ultra. Well under 50 yards,neck shot,off a mono pod. Needless to say the buck was DRT. That's just a little silly. Oh I stand some 600yd long fields down at my in-laws several times a season. Now there I feel right at home with Old Cruncher. Or the 25/06, 270, 30/06, 7 RM, or any other conventional deer gear. This is what makes my "One for all and all with one" rifle project so tricky. Mmm,mmm,mmm,that 338 Norma sounds sweet for sure. But, that is a mighty big hammer for the PA slashings. All the chamberings mentioned here are tempting. Aw heck. This is what makes this sport so appealing. The endless options available to us for that special build. I LOVE it:cool::D. [/QUOTE]
