Nice one. I wondered who picked up Riddle's 7mm.

Finally a lever to add to your collection! Looks good, and having a magazine really make a difference on levers.

You realise you have just as many rifles as me now?

PS. Just been out on the Daytona for the first time. Impressive power, easy handling, just need to rebuild my riding skills and confidence some more.

He told me he had listed in on AHN for quite a while
Luckily Trevort told me about it (as I have posted more than 5 times so unable to see classified's)

Yep, and it's quick and easy to load/unload when jumping in and out of vehicles.

Undies are OK. It wasn't as bad as I thought but the old wrists are a tad sore from racer position. Have to practice going around corners a bit more, but not as nerve wracking to corner as it was on my old bikes.

Nice one Sako. Those Brownings seem to be well regarded. I have never seen one in the flesh.

Give it time, big strong animal, eventually you'll lose one. Which is not to say it's not dead 50-150 yards away, but the buggers can run, and the terrain can hide a lot.

10y yesterday with the 240 and a poor shot
Shredded the liver and back of lungs thought I had put a second into him as he dropped at the sound of the 2nd shot
Only one hole when I dressed him obviously got one of the trees he was walking through
Not the first, time killed a few trees over the years chasing deer
