Bruce that 3 shot group of .5 is waaaay better than anything my featherweight has ever produced. Don't let that gun ever get away from you! Great report. Keep up the hood work.

That is a beloved caliber with Maine Guides in 1950/60 era. Most settled on 150gr for Whitetails. The reason the trigger seams sooooo good is that on the early models the trigger is COMPLETELY different animal than the post 100xxxxxx guns. Very easy to adjust them down with a stone for WOP and...
From a resale perspective; in years to come, the 358 will most certainly command a much higher price. Just because the made ALOT less 358 than 308's. Case and Point: Try buying a Savage 99 in 358 in a pre 1960 Featherweight; expect to pay atleast $500 more for the .358. So the same model in the...
This is an easy one for me. But it's a pump not bolt. These Remington model 12s; with Octagon barrels and Cresent Buttplates are totally cool " old time" guns that will shoot.........
I hear ya! Biggest NT Whitetail ever killed in Maine, was shot with a 25-20! ( The Hill Gould Buck) Best Typical 193 B&C shot with 32 Special.....
I am down to one 30/30...... 1978 Antlered Game.

If folks knew how many bull elk have been shot with that caliber it would SHOCK the avg American hunter who has for years been drinking "Magnum" koolaid.....

Interesting question on a rock solid cartridge with 50 years of proven results....... having watched dozens of 60/70" Alaskan Bull Moose " that were hit correctly " bang/flop" with 1 shot out of numerous guns chambered in the Big 7; that were in the 12/1300 lb dressed weight. It would hard for...
Thought some of you might enjoy some old time " off hand shootin"

The USPS is a tiny fraction of how bad things actually are right now.
