   I had a BSA Monarch (terrible full length action) and then an Anschutz 222. Through straight out inexperience I never got the best out of my 222s so sold and replaced with a 22-250. Already had a...

   It got darker as I got older. Then in my 50's went completely white. The white seemed to coincide with my lads being teenagers. :)

   Good stuff Nathan. I think you have clicked on to the fact that in many cases more people are realising that using more gear and more tech takes something out of the hunt. Tahr hit that nail too when...

    Well you should they were some of the best days we could ever experience. Would love to be able to buy a Sako Vixen with Sako rings and a Weaver 4 X for $ 240 brand new again.
