Browning BLR in .308 handloaded with 165gr Interbonds covers 95% of my rifle hunting chores.

Custom 6.5 Sweedish Mauser handloaded with 129 or 140gr Hornady Interlocks.

Spend the first 2 months of the season hunting with my Hoyt.

7mm Rem mag with 160 parts is my elk medicine. Cures that walkin and breathin disease they have real good. ;)
