Hi , I'm wren . Grew up in rural eastern N.Carolina on family farm and still here . Guns have been a part of my life since i was old enough to pick one up . Over the years I've mostly hunted with shotguns & various caliber rifles . Now I'm in need of a full shoulder replacement and don't think hunting with the 270 win. Is going to work any more . I owned a TC contender in 44 mag once and now think that may be the way to go , only this time would like to try something like a 7/08 or 308 maybe,I also reload . I'm all ears to any advice . Thanks , glad to be here . Will share what I know when I think I can be a help .
