[QUOTE="348 fan, post: 1886889, member: 113673"] This is my do-all West Virginia go-to gun. I graduated from a cherished hand me down 30-30 to this BAR when I was a junior in HS. Everyone cut their teeth on 30-30's.....35 Remington, 303 British, 30-40 Krag or pumpkin balls. Everyone would eventually get their 06...270...308 or if you were considered really slick a 243. Van Lunens had the BAR priced wrong and my dad put it on layaway for me before the crowd behind him could do the same. I paid it off with my pizza job before Christmas. I can still hunt...stump hunt & drive. Yes we grew up calling it stump hunt as no self respecting buck hunter (cause that's what everyone was) would ever be caught up in a tree or elevated box stand. We killed weary acorn bucks while on the ground with them. In 30-06, if I need I can reach across the small hay fields you have in WVA or shoot down a bench or 2 on a travelling buck. You could shoot all the way down to the bottom of the holler if you took the time to cut a lane from you stump. If you've hunted The Mountain State you will know exactly what I mean here. We'll this is my favorite...can't hunt in Ohio with it where I live but it's been a buck slayer in Ohio, North Carolina and Maine for a long time. Hope you like my rig and my story. [/QUOTE]
