So, what's the best way to deal with the ammo panic? Dry fire? Reloading? Hoarding?
None of the above! The best thing to do is buy a rifle in a hard to fine caliber that is loaded only seasonally!
I like Model 70s. And I have come around to the short magnum bastard cartridges.
And when my best friend Huck called and said:
"Hey, I'm looking at a Model 70 Ultimate Shadow in three hundred short mag. Guy only wants four bills for it. You in?"
I of course said sure and promptly got into the truck.

Excuse the potato quality cell phone pics.
I had a VX-II 4-12x40mm lying around and it dropped right on there. Warne rings and bases because I get those damn free from work .
The Model 70 Ultimate Shadow is a new production, pre 64 designed gun made right before Winchester went bankrupt and got gobbled up by FNH.
Super lightweight; ergonomic, easy handling rifle. And hey, I still got 300 WSM on the shelf at the store.
Thanks for stopping buy.

ReplyDeleteFirst time here. Back when I was a sole proprietor FFL (in Kalifornia no less) I got myself a M70 SS Classic in 308. As you say, "Super lightweight; ergonomic, easy handling rifle". Stumbled over a sale on Swarovski scopes in the old dead tree version of the 'Shotgun News', so got a 3-10 power to go with. Heh, "Nice rifle ya got mounted on your scope".
ReplyDeleteHave since escaped to Texas.
Glad you escaped to free America!
