Well, it is a handsome rifle. But, then, it is a Winchester. Looks great, Guy.

Cow elk should be a reasonable hunt for you. For sure, the meat will be excellent and no doubt welcomed in your home.

He has accumulated some fine looking firearms! Just saying.

Thought I'd give a quick update on Gil and Susan. I had a call from Gil yesterday. The couple likely won't be home for at least another two weeks, or possibly even three weeks. Gil has had three surgeries on his leg and anticipates at least one more surgery, and a surgery to repair his...
