Good thoughts. I bought mine for a coastal grizzly hunt when I save up the $$$. I think that guns help us stay focused on an adventure and where we want to go.Guys: Thanks for all the interest and good comments (except from that CA Joker)but I'm going to take the rifle off the table for now. After some thought I've decided I may have some sellers remorse if I let it go and If I keep it that Coastal Bear hunt that I dream about still stays alive. Steve
