I have taken the time the last couple of weeks to clean out some of my little or never used rifles. Gone are a 300WM, a couple 308's, a 7-08, a couple 223's, a 22-250, and a 338WM. From the wife's a couple 270's and 30-06's, a 270 and 300 WSM, a 280, a 260, a 243, a 338 and 300WM and a 225. I personally am down to a singe 223, 22-250, 25-06, 7-08, 7RM, 308, 30-06 and my just received 338 FED. The wife is scaled down to a 223, 243, 300WM and a couple 270's and 30-06's. She just order a 358 Win Browning BLR for some dang reason. Most of the rifles we moved went to family and a couple went to friends that we know well enough to know we didn't violate any laws. So that has been my big task since I can not spend much time shooting.

I don't get as much range time as I would like. I hope to get out for some time in the weeks ahead,

Still looking at a 325WSM and have a 7-08 due back in about September. I am still stumped why the wife bought a 358 Win in a lever gun though.

As for the 358 Win that I found out today is my nephews B-Day present so its all good.

The M 70 also seemed lighter also it came with a Limbsaver pad which may have made the difference. How'd your ankle turn out? Hurry and get well!!
