I took my Ruger 260 to the gun smith today to get a trigger job. All went well until I tried to leave. I felt something grab my arm. I turned and looked and there was a new Synthetic stocked Remington Pump 30-06. It begged and begged until I was forced to bring it home with me. I have been without one for several years and thats my Back-up gun when I hunt in country where big bears live. I always felt good with the Pump Remington with five 220 grain or 250 grain shells in it. The first Bear quide I ever hunted with carried the same gun in the Carbine lenght. I am lining up a Moose hunt for the fall this year.
