I just got a flyer in the mail from the Cabela's in Wheeling, WV. They have a Remington Model 7 on sale for $599. I think that is a pretty good price?? It is the full camo version of the rifle. They call it a Model 7 Predator. That would make a great rifle for your dad. Short and light. What else could he ask for. The price really impressed me when on the same page the have a Savage 110 for $529. The Savage is almost as expensive as the Remington with a model 700 action..............

Where are you hunting in WV?? We have some great hunting here. I wish our bucks were as big as your OH bucks.

Take your dad every chance you can. I hunted with my father all our lives. These were some of my best times. I sure do miss him. Tom.
