I was brough up on a 303 brit hunting from 12-15yrs old. It was a non sporter. But as I got older, my dad would let me use his 742 remmy 30-06 when he wasnt hunting. I fell in love! When I turned about 18, I used a remmy sportsman 78 in 30-06 that I borrowed from my boss. Done this for 2 yrs in a row then filally bought a 7mm short mag. It's a sendero SF. I love it, hunted with it for 2 yrs, still have it. This year I have went back to my roots. I bought a new medallion in ole 30-06! Cant wait to hunt it this year. Now it's my woods gun and the 7mm is my field stalking gun. Now I want a 22-250, varmint gun
a 25-06
a 45-70 lever. Then who knows...
