The only magaizine I buy any more is FFG. It has been my #1 go to magazine for over 50 years. The rest of them are put out for the rich/elete hunters not the ordinary joe. Fact is I have almost all of the FFG magazines I have ever bought. Great resource material.

I never have paid more than $300 for any firearm I own. I buy my guns to use not to look good on the wall or to brag about how much it cost me. My $100 used Model 100 Winchester has served me well for almost 50 years. It looks like it has been around the world, which it might nave been for all the miles it rode on the sling on my shoulder.

I came out of the woods the other day from pat hunting. There were a couple guys sitting in a truck next to my trooper. The driver said " Don't see many old guns like that around any more."

He was talking about my Fox BST double 16. I thought what does he mean OLD. Then I realized I had gotten it for Christmas when I turned 14. That will be 50 years this Christmas. I guess it isn't just the gun that is geting old.
