[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 84385, member: 8"] AJ I'm the same as you. I still have my 25 year old 7mmWby with the 25 year old 6X18 Redfield with the ranging stadia and the first generation Kenton target turrets. 1200 yds worth of clicks and then 200 more using the plex. Spend nearly ten minutes ranging and reranging an animal and then pray that it was "normal" sized. No internet back in those days, learned everything the hard way. Poor animals, it was pretty hard on them as many mistakes as I made. Left the west and got heavy into bowhunting here in the east. About a year ago I started thinking about retirement and a modern long range elk gun. Found out everything was computerized except for the toting of the gun. Remington will even sell you electric bullets. Excuse me, I forgot, you don't even need to tote the gun anymore you can just sit at home and use your mouse. As Roland says in Stephen King's Dark Tower, "the world has moved on" [/QUOTE]
