The short barrel is handy moving around in tree stands or just sitting in the crotch of a live Oak. I have my S&W trooper that i ry to get a hog with. But if she / He gets out too far the 742 can reach out and touch them. I took the Marlin 30-30 a couple times.

Rem. 742 308. my hog killer back up gun.

So here are . My 'Big Push" guns...Sorry no 300 H&H..LOL My favorite big bang rifle is of course the Mosin Natgant Mdl 91 ..54 mm at bottom , The SKS with the original Chinese stock lying above it. Above that is my Para trooper 6.5 mm Carcano. The M-1 is the best shooter of the four. I love the feel of 54 mm when it cuts loose. It is rock solid. The action is crip and tight. I found it is more accurate with the bayonet extended...but that may just be me. I love working the targets in the concrete pit on the 300 yd range with the lead popping the paper above my head.

GOOD Morning Family Reunion Attendees...Yes its time to get ready for that Family reunion...I need to loose aa few more pounds OMG! But plan ahead. Watch old family videos, go through old photo albums so you know who everybody is or was ?? Get your spiel set up: Why aren't you married...I have not met the right guy yet Do you go to church every Sunday?....yes my Priest remembers our family. I have a picture of my priest and me to show. Do you live by yourself? ........Yes, I work from home so I don't like distractions. Go over to where the old men are sitting. Talk to the old men. They love to talk about guns and fishing and it keeps me away from nosey Aunts who want to question me or "fix ' me up with some guy. And remember don't drink too much. I talk too much when I drink and tell things you shouldn't tell. When they square dance partner with Uncle Clyde as he is a good square dancer.
