RE: Ruger or Savage hunting rifle
Thanks for the offer davs but not sure when I would ever have the time and I have looked at the Savages and like them. I have also heard good things about them. The only problem with BP is didn't have the 7-08 the last time I looked. They were going to look and call me but they never did. I did find a place in Weatherford that sells rifles and might go there.
game4lunch--I had thought about a .308 but isn't it very simular to a 7mm-08. From what I have read the 7mm-08 will take anything in North America that I would ever hope to hunt.
The Rifleman---Price is not a factor and it kind of offended me that you wrote that. Maybe you didn't mean it that way but that is how I took it. I don't really need another rifle, more of a want.If I could talk my Wife into it, I could buy a lot more guns. She think I have too many now and I only have 8 guns total Ijust want something lighter and different. Something I won't mind if it gets scratched.
Happy New Years to everyone and thanks for the imput.
