Retirement gift to me

Postby Elkhntr08 » 04 08, 2019 •  [Post 1]

I came across a Browning A-bolt Stalker in 7 mag for $375. So I bought it. Saturday night at a RMEF banquet, they had a Weatherby Weathermark in 300 wby mag. So I bid on it. Bought it for $875.
Now I have 2 rifles to set up and reload for. I know, poor me.

Bummer Elkhuntr, and after all that you will need to decide which to hunt with. My condolences.
BTW: Happy Retirement.

That’s easy, my 673 in 300 SAUM. It’s my grab and go rifle.
I just have a thing for rifles. And packs. For what I paid, how could I not pick them up?

Exactly! Guns are a great investment, even if you never use them.
