    Shopping for my first plains game rifle - Thoughts on this Sako A-iii 30-06?

    For what it's worth, I have a Ruger M77 in 35 Whelen and it's a wonderful rifle. If the 30-06 you're looking at falls through, the Ruger is a great pick as well. Ammo availability would not be what you'd find with the '06.

    Collapse Coming?

    Perhaps this is a downturn and not a collapse, but at some point, the bills are going to have to be paid, and the national deficits are going to someday eat our lunch. I think the U.S is not unlike Great Britian circa 1913. Britian was at the zenith of her power. 43 years and 2 wars later...
