[QUOTE="RAGGED EDGE, post: 2147933, member: 49669"] Because I don't want to lose touch with an era I dearly love I'm resurrecting a M-54 Winchester that was originally chambered in .30-30, re-chambered in .30-40 K, "improved" to Ackeley, and is now back to the good old .30 USG. Started this 20 years ago when I was in my fifties. It will be finished this year. It has already been to the range with it's new Brux tube, and it has amazing potential. The longest shot I have ever shot at a target is a hair over 1100 yards (with my .260 LRH) and it likely will stay that way. Anything with hair will be a LOT closer when I squeeze the trigger. The 7 Rem. Mag will cover any and all of what's left of my big game hunting. I frequent this site because I enjoy it, and I'm pretty much in alignment with the way Len runs it, but not because I view it as the Be All and End All of the shooting sports. I value the experience and knowledge I have gained from being here, hope to be here a while longer, have no truck with anyone about their views, opinions, or anything else. Carry on, my brothers of the gun! [/QUOTE]
