RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
About four years ago, I sold my Ruger 300 Win Mag because of this exact thing and bought myself a .54 cal Hawken. I don' t regret it. I did not want to be associated with modern rifle " hunters" anymore. There are some modern rifle hunters who are ethical, conscientious, and safe outdoorsman, but its all the other idiots that give modern rifle hunters a bad name.
