[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 515955, member: 29323"] The first time I fondled a Remington Ti, I knew I had to have one. But, they don't make a left handed version. I had a very bad experience with the safety flipping off on my 700 because I was carrying a RH rifle on my left side. Gun went off nearly in my ear. Browning, on the other hand, has a tang safety. Much more convenient, and much less likely to flip off safe accidentally. I've shot RH rifles more than left, so when I could finally afford a LH, I wasn't very comfortable with it. The RH Mountain Ti is accurate enough and powerful enough that if I do my job, I don't need a second shot. In 40 years of hunting, I've only really wished for a fast second shot once or twice. As for getting in shape, I've found the Forest Service Firefighter pack test to be the best. You walk 3 miles in 45 minutes carrying a 45 lb. pack. I found the fast pace was hard on my hips after a few years, so I walk slower now, but the pack builds the same muscles you use for up hill (even though I walk on flat ground). I hike better now than I did 15 years ago when I was running 3 miles a day. I can hike steep hills without that burning in the calves. I'm also used to the straps, so I don't suffer sore shoulders on the hunt. Makes the hunt much more fun. The other trick for old guys like me is Endurox. Runners and bikers use it. It is guaranteed to increase your endurance by 10%. You take immediately after exercise and it gets rid of the lactic acid that makes muscles sore, and allows them to heal faster. I take it with me hunting and take it at lunch and when I get back to camp. It works! My pack test times shorten dramatically when I use it. [/QUOTE]
