Howdy all...I just stumbled across this place by accident and I'm glad I did. I'm a heavy haul truck driver that spends way too much time on gun forums, LOL.
I only have 2 Winchesters...I was always a Remington guy (got plenty of those) but I have seen the light, LOL.
I have some good friends who bought model 70's recently...one is a Featherweight in 270 WSM and that is the rifle that sold me, its beautiful...and shoots awesome. The other is a used Ultimate Shadow (may be a Shadow, not quite sure) in 7mm WSM...I used that rifle to get a deer a couple of weeks ago.
I have an old model 70 in 458 Win Mag that was an impulse buy at a gun show years ago...never shot it much, but it looks good in the gun safe
And then there is the Ultimate Shadow I just bought...its a 30-06...the first new Winchester I have ever owned. My very first gun was Winchester though, a single shot 22, I forget the model of it...it was stolen years ago
My 30-06 with my son proudly displaying it...he's been rubbing it in that he has held it and I have not...I'm a truck driver and have not been home since the rifle arrived.
I like to go all out on introductions...
Yes I reload...various calibers...mostly 45acp, 45-70, and 308, but now 30-06 will be in the lot too.
Oh...this is the deer I shot with that 7mm WSM I mentioned above.
I'm the proud parent of a US Marine...
And my best good friend...Henry, my mule.
