Great idea KYODE.
I want to start by letting everyone know how I have enjoyed the stories I've read so far.
Been handgunning for about 11 years now.
Started with a bueatiful stainless on wood Contender 30-30 topped off with a T\C scope.
Still have the gun and enjoy it but when the Encore was introduced the Contender became semi retired. Still enjoy shooting it but use the Encore as my primary. Right now it's set up with a 15" 308 barrel topped with a 2x7 Burris.
If I can be good enough, and Santa doesn't forget, he should have a 25-06 in his bag of goodies this year.
Once agian, enjoyed all the stories.
