[QUOTE="TX257Weath, post: 1422649, member: 87352"] I actually have two I would like back - one was a .243 Husqvarna that my Dad bought me for my 8th birthday. Shot my first deer that fall with it, a little 5 point buck (in the beautiful Texas Hill country)that flipped straight over on his back - my Dad and I were so impressed with that little cartridge and rifle ! The other was a Mauser action, custom 7mm Rem Mag that I found and bought cheap while I was in high school. The custom barrel was stamped "Adobe Gun Shop, Silver City New Mexico". Beautiful curly maple stock that had it's share of "use marks" - I refinished the stock myself and it shot like a dream. For some reason ( I think I read too many gun writer stories, HA), I decided I should sell it and buy a Win Mod 70 featherweight in 7 Rem Mag. I still have the model 70 but oh do I miss that custom rig - it was a looker and a shooter! Kind of like that old story of your first love and loss. Shot two nice bull elk with it and thank goodness I have those great memories with that rifle that I will always cherish. [/QUOTE]
