    Thank your neighbor and fellow gun owners for passing Prop 63. For that gun control is a winning legislative agenda.

      Had to sell almost all of it during a divorce but have since got a good start on my new hunting Arsonnel:

      Franchi Affinity in Max4 HD
      Browning X-Bolt in .270 Winchester with a Nikon Prostaff 3.5-12x40 BDC

      Although that's only two they're versatile: my Franchi took nearly 2 limits of dove, mountain quail, and grey squirrels so far this year. When duck season starts though its gonna be GAME ON.

      The X Bolt I got in .270 winchester because its a nice flat caliber that can take everything from pigs, antelope and deer to elk. Some say its a bit small for elk but with good shot placement a lot of elk have fallen to .270 winchester.

      When the Browning A-Bolt III comes out I plan on picking one up for a backup gun on out of state hunts. Haven't decided if I want it in .30-06 or .300 WSM so feel free to chime in.

              Moonshine, I just checked the Browning website and it won't chambered in .300wsm (yet). I'm betting they eventually will along with a bunch of other calibers, currently it looks like only the .270win .30.06spfld 7mm Mag and .300win

                    Ruger 10/22 22lr
                    Savage 24 22lr/20ga
                    Ruger No. 3 223
                    Browning X bolt 243
                    Winchester 94 30-30
                    Savage 110 30-06
                    I think 12GA is the one missing in your arsenal. My battery is consist of Remmy in .308, 12GA Remmy 870, Weatherby SA-08 in 12GA, and my favorite Ruger 10/22.
