View attachment 123794 I know in my life there were certain rifles I had that were special to me, mainly because of the the memories or the hunts you went on, or because you always hit what you were aiming at. One such rifle I had was an old browning 300wm bought it in 1980. First big mag I ever bought. Weighted a ton had an old bushnell 4 3 to 12 on it. Can't tell you how many different loads I made for it and tried. It was a tack driver. I took a lot of elk, deer, prong horn, and a bear, and a huge hog. I bought a 300wms about 11 yrs ago which was 63/4 pounds. I had seated taking my son with me deer hunting at least twice a year he had a cheap 270 which I made some hot loads for. I took the 300wm and order a great composite stock, sent it off had it ported, had it refinished in a Matt black finish, already had a great trigger, put on a new vortex scope. Packaged it up in original box wrapped it up and last package at Christmas brought I brought it out. He opened it an thought it was a new rifle, when I told him it was my old 300 he couldn't believe it, he said dad that's your favorite gun you've shot everything you ever aimed at with that rifle. I said it's your turn. He took his first mule deer with it on a hunt in Idaho, first elk, and first really nice white tail in Georgia. Gun still had the magic. I have given him my browning 308, shot gun, 22-250, 22 and other rifles and my safe since he got married and bought his own place. I kept my sako 308, and the 300wms that's all this old man needs. Every time we go hunting he takes 2 guns which I taught him in case something happens to one. He keeps saying I got to take the 308 today then comes out with the 300wn, which brings a smile to my face now it's his lucky gun. I like my 300wms but it ain't that old browning just weights less. My point is I've been giving him most of my guns now while I'm alive. Don't need all those calibers now and some of pistols. He knows he
