I'll meet you half way on that one! I'd settle for a Ruger No. 3! The only thing I didn't like about mine was the wrap-over plastic butt stock.

Jeff H,
it wasn't meant to be insulted. i, personally think that in every state all cartridges should be used. during the the late 1990's, i was in your state to do jobs, mostly concrete parking garages. i was in Cincinatti, Cleveland, Akron, Barberton, Columbus, Marietta, Toledo and serval others that i forget.

i could go atop a hill and sight my gun on Johnstown (about 7 miles or so) and fire. in that 7 miles there is a whole bunch of other people, towns, state highways and wood lots. the chance of hurting someone or their house and car are infinitely small. i have a better chance of hitting the lottery twice than hitting a person. i don't see the need to make bottlenecks illegal. in my state, i think that is Pittsburgh (Allegany County) and Philadelphia County that uses shotguns for deer/bear. but to each his own, even id it is stupid, :rofl:

One thing everyone misses because they don't hunt in these SW states. Most of the people are hunting in large groups driving the deer to blockers to hopefully stop them. It is very dangerous because most of the time you have no clue to where the pushers are at. This was one of the main hurdles here in Iowa before they started to allow rifles.

Will allowing these rifles help the situation? NOPE! All it did was to give the dummies more ammo to carry in the gun. We have a island on the Mississippi River just over the hill from me. I was up the morning they allowed the 350 in rifles to be used. Well by the # of continuous shots they all had the 20 rnd mags in their guns.

back in the day:rofl:, we used to hunt that way too, there would be 20-25 guys. we'd call them drives. you were either a pusher or a sitter/stander. never had anyone get shot either. today, most guys don't hunt. i think only 500,000 or 600,000 licenses are sold, back in the day, they had 1.1 - 1.2 million hunters.

That cartridge demands to be chambered in a single shot. I wonder if Henry would chamber that break open single shot of theirs in it?

Has anyone seen dies available for it? That would be the chief selling point of this over the .35/.30-30 to me.

They re-introduced Elk here in Kansas on Fort Riley. It seems they were indigenous to the great plains at one time but couldn't adapt to all the sod busting when people settled here. The herd is actually thriving. Hard to get drawn for a tag and I gave up trying years ago, but for the guys I know who have been drawn, the success rate is pretty much 100%.

They did the same thing on Fort Sill, but that is mountainous enough that it just seems like Elk country more than here.

Elk were common in the long grass plains, but not the short grass west of 100* west. Then common all the way to the Pacific where there was grass. Lewis and Clark got tired of eating elk at the mouth of the Columbia the winter they spent there because they have not fat. Couldn't wait for the Salmon to come up river.
