I agree wholeheartedly with you, Sheridan....

AND having spent several hunting trips in the wilderness in Alaska and Canada, when my rifle was SOAKED every day, I will be the first one to admit the UTILITY of stainless, synthetic rifles..

My wood stocked, blued rifles functioned flawlessly and survived with no ill effects, but a SYN/STN rifle is certainly less worrisome under such conditions..

Just think about it.. If we all preferred blonde, big busted females, there would be LOTS of competition for them, and all of those sleek, slim, dark haired beauties would ignored...

What a shame THAT would be........
