I’ve always said if I could only have one rifle it would be a model 700 30-06. I normally carry my 7-08 mountain rifle but occasionally I carry my 7600 carbine pump 30-06. I sold my savage 110 270 because the barrel was 6 feet long and it was a chore to hunt with.tongueriver wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 5:22 pmThey all have their place for sure. I used a Ruger 77 in .270 for forty years and still shoot it occasionally, but other favorites are my .243 Winchester in a first-gen Ruger 77, and my pronghorn gun, a .300 Winchester Short Mag in a Weatherby. It would be a fine elk gun but I am too pathetic physically to clamber all over the mountain. I love to shoot the .243 as there is negligible recoil and it is perfect for whitetail. Lots of the newer calibers are great, but if one only could go all the way back and just have the 30-.06 as far as rifles go, it would be quite adequate for every kind of game in the Americas.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 5:02 pm That 7mm-08 is a fine caliber from all I've read about it. Every caliber has its advocates. My favorite is .270.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thank you, gentlemen. I appreciate your appreciation. This 7" dagger (dbl edge) was made by Adam Smith. The scrimshaw is what caught my eye. It was executed by C. Hargrave and is probably the best scrim work I possess. I believe this knife was the first fixed blade I purchased. Got through the AGRussell's Cutting Edge catalog.

Very NICE Cal and Garry!!!

Dave,
Does that small clip point knife withe the sabre grind have a Boy Scout etch on the off side of the blade? I've got two just like and both have the etch. Good looking KA BARS too.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I think Gerber did an exceptional job with their commemorative of the famous wasp-wasted Vietnam era knife. Fine grind lines.
