Only smokeless tobacco endangers you?
I quit chewing a couple weeks ago after about 25+ years. Now I eat sunflower seeds and chew cinnamon flavored Mint Snuff like crazy.
I'll try to get some pictures up of the gun I just finished. It should make for a good antelope thumper. I plan on shooting it a bit tomorrow to see what it's capable of.

Well, I guess that doggone laminated stock Remington qualifies as a sure-enough antelope rifle now... :grin: Oddball cartridge and all... :mrgreen:

Couldn't help myself... :mrgreen:
Jim will get the last laugh if I return home from Wyoming without a pronghorn! :shock:
Jmad - I just saw that post of yours:
"My brother in-law used my stw last week to take two doe goats @ 653 and 683 yards. Both with a single 160 AB on the first shot. It worked pretty good as well."
Wow! Excellent long-range shooting! I'd say congrats to the hunter are in order - along with the fellow who provided the rifle & ammo. Nice shooting...
Am leaving in about two weeks for Wyoming. Pronghorn & Mule Deer tags in hand, and a Montana fishing license. Hope to drop in and see a couple of folks along the way then meet up with Steven and enjoy a good hunt.
