Well, all I can say is if we're going to have a civil war we
may as well get the hell on with it before I get too old to enjoy it.

I really doubt it will come to that -- but it's nice to be ready.

I'll give the looters a choice of which gun they'd like to be shot with;
A Dutch Beaumont, 71 Mauser, Swiss Veterli, Spanish Rolly or if
they'd prefer something a little more exotic and can wait a few minutes,
A 50 cal Hawken. Beats the hell out being shot with a common old 223.
How boring would that be ?

I go along with Townsend Whelen (you youngsters probably don't remember him), "The .30-06 is never a mistake."

They are still looking for someone to fire the first shot.

Go sign up.

Among other things, he inspired the development of the .35 Whelen. Bigfoot Wallace, my elk rifle, is a .35 Brown-Whelen, the most radical form of the Whelen. It kills elk DEAD!
