Man what an interesting read.

I have a Rem Woodsmaster 742 semi-auto .308 that is 31 years old (inherited from my father). After years of hunting it still looks brand new, it still fires with great accuracy and I really do consider it a fine piece of hardware.

There will come a time when I will need to buy a 10 or 12 ga shotgun (because centrefire rifles aren' t allowed in Southern Ontario) and I probably would have gravitated towards Remington just due to the excellence of my .308. It is through fourms like this where I learn many things about hunting and firearms and I appreciate all comments made by you.
