    I don’t disagree with your assessment of legal firms. I have worked with a number of them, but rarely out of NYC offices. I will say, my note was not referencing legal firms. In my world they do not lead M&A, they are a supporting function.

    Do you have your ideal rifle or are you still looking for it?

    I have what I consider the perfect .375. It began life as a M70 stainless synthetic. Because it was initially a dedicated coastal bear gun I had Gary Junk cut the bbl to 22”, install an island mounted ghost ring and front safari sight, and then Arctic coat the metal satin black to prevent...

    A lot of M&A work has moved out of NYC. Texas is becoming more and more important in this world. I did a lot of M&A work for one of the largest private firms on the planet. We rarely used folks out of NYC. When I was leading a business unit for a Fortune 500 firm, our largest transaction was...

    Deer Season 2025

    Shot a decent buck tonight. Unfortunately it was too dark for pictures. Taken with my No 1 in .275 Rigby.

    Agreed. He has done some things well. His handling of foreign trade and Ukraine are not on the positive side of the ledger for me.

    Would you be happy?

    Again, my challenge would be, if that was the core point you were trying to make, why did you not simply state so in the OP, instead of posting the video with a ‘what do you think?’ My point is, it seems somewhat disingenuous to post it in this manner and then come in on top of responses that...

    SCI Convention 2026 - Who Is Joining Me?

    Agreed. We like fine food and fine wine, neither of which are offered at these dinners. Small group events are much more to our liking.

    Personally, I wish Europe would unite strongly behind Ukraine and tell us to get lost. If Russia has had this much trouble with Ukraine, I can’t imagine that he’d have a prayer with full European support.

    New premium rifle or custom

    I used to run a boat out of Valdez run the coast. I know what you mean about rusty SS. I had my SS rifles Arctic coated to stop the rust!

    New premium rifle or custom

    I have a number of semi and full custom rifles. My heart says walnut and blued steel in classic lines. However, you want something for long range work as well. Pictured is my 6.5 PRC by Travis at TS customs (in fairness, I bought the barreled action from Travis and bolted it into the MDT...

    Would you be happy?

    Did you start this thread just to start an argument? You obviously had a strong opinion, which you did not state in the OP. The vast majority of folks with actual DG experience disagree with your assessment. It’s probably time to move on.

    Thoughts on "entry level" .375 H&H

    If buying new, Winchester is your best bet. If buying used, look at things like Parker Hale. Most .375’s don’t get shot a lot so one of the M98 variants can be a great deal.
