Today is 3-08. Have you hugged your 308 today?
Guess I will be ringing the gongs today.

Come on brotha......Well, 556 day is a long way off and not sure if I'll be around for that. That'll make me 90.
I love it...Today is 3-08. Have you hugged your 308 today?

I like the way you think Gil.Well...
I don't own a 308 so someone else will have to shoot a few rounds from their rifle for me!
Now this has me wondering what other cartridges I have that can play this game?!?!
Let's see:
- 204: Feb. 4th - too late for this year, unless we use April 20th instead - (then maybe I'll be out hunting coyotes!)
- 218: Feb 18th - too late for this year - (a work day next year - I won't make it out - will have to think fondly of my rifle and dream of a lynx hunt!)
- 25-35: Feb 5th 2035 - will have to mark the digital calendar - (hope to be able to be out hunting wolves!)
- 6.5 CM and PRC: June 5th - need to mark the calendar - (a work day - won't make it out - will have to think fondly of my rifles and dream a little of an exotic hunt, and a pronghorn hunt, and a sheep hunt!)
- 6.5x55: June 5th 2055 - need to mark the digital calendar - (I'll be 86 by then, and hope I can be out shooting or hunting something, somewhere! Perhaps axis deer in Argentina?)
- 7-08: July 8th - need to mark the calendar - (a work day - won't make it to the range - will have to think fondly of my rifle and a deer hunt!!)
- 35 Rem: March 5th - too late for this year (I was travelling for a training course on this day this past week - next year, it's a work day - won't make it out - will have to think fondly of the rifle and dream of a bear hunt!))
- 9.3x62: Sept 3rd 2062 - need to mark the digital calendar (I'll be 97 at the time! I hope I'll still be around and dreaming, or remembering, of hunts for moose, grizzly or brown bear, eland, bison or cape buffalo!))
- 416: April 16th - need to mark the calendar - (a work day - won't make it to the range - will have to think fondly of my rifle and daydream just a little of a bongo hunt)
- 41: April 1st - need to mark the calendar for April Fool's Day - (I'll be travelling for another training course on this day for work - will just have to think fondly of my revolvers)
OK! Appears to be dialed in!No shooting for me today, but one of my 308’s at 500 yards.
