Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Sorry, no newsletter, but I do have an opinion that comes out once in a while. No offense. Just my take on things.

Sounds like tboesche is well on his way to a love affair with a new rifle. Best of luck and hope it's a straight shooter.

I have a slew of hunting rifles, lots of calibers, lots of brands. My only regret is that I no longer have either of my Winchester Model 70s in 30.06. Sold one to my brother and gave my other one to my son. I am now in the market for a new generation Winchester Model 70 in 30.06.

.223s are fun, I love my 25s, my 270 used to be my favorite deer gun, my .300 H&H will take anything I can hunt in North America, but I sure miss my 30.06. Just waiting for the right rifle to come along.

Never owned or even shot a .243 but one of the guys I hunt with didn't take a 200 yard shot at a slew of hogs because he was unsure about a clean kill. I give him credit for passing on the shot but were I him, I'd carry a little larger caliber just in case.
