Now..now... he forgot that it's not dis-May but dis-July.

Ruger had an aborted attempt at the 404 but had problems. It would be good to revisit and make. Alas, making a good double would be a challenge but worth it.

Classic "tinned" cloth. That and Barbour... the original "GoreTex".

How do you know that the party is a formal occasion? The Carhartts are washed.

Good information. One compromise for softer game like black bear would be the Nosler Partition. ...but not available right now.

Exactly.... penetration is obvious and expansion is all that is needed.

This is black bear.... nothing exotic is needed. The Hornady will do just fine. If I were handloading I'd even go cheaper Partisan 286 or Speer 270s. Expansion is the goal here as penetration is obvious. The TSX needs something hard to expand on and black bear isn't that.

Does the lion wait for the buff to stand up before attacking? The major problem is shot placement remembering that the first shot is the best shot .... and everything after that is problematic. Shooting an animal before the adrenalin dump is more lethal and safer than letting the fight or...

$55 plus shipping from Buffalo Arms on waiting list. $167 for three from John Rigby AU. Either way a good deal. Sooo glad to see this edition.

Getting back to the New Haven Winchester... my classic stainless 375 was rough and shows that the plants "unionism" in the final days was reason enough to close the shop. I have CZs and 70s. Either is fine. My Rem 700 375 is a tack driver for Alaska. Buy what you can afford.... used or...
