RE: Question about an Old Recurve.

Assuming the Cobra I is in decent condition, $150 is a fair price. The Cobra II is another matter--one of the best shooting recurves Browning ever produced and not quite as common as the Cobra I.

RE: Do you like your Gerber?

The guys I've known who use gerbers have been happy with them and they're a pretty selective bunch. I've used bucks and cases for years with no problems. I don't tend to fix what ain't broke so I...

RE: The Choice Is Your: The Best of the Best

I would also choose the Savage 99 as the best of the best in lever guns. The Marlin is, in my opinion, a close second. The 1895 Cowboy is one sweet lever action.

I don't classify rifle season as cheating. I'd hate to see it abolished. For me, its become more of a social affair than a hunt these days but it still has its challenges.
