I am "Crossing Over", a bit....

[Adam Helmer]

Gil,

You will like the way my camo gun handles. I hunt harder when I am not concerned with scratches and dings.

fabsroman,

I hunted with a guy a while back that had a mint, 100% Sweet 16, well he did until he was crossing an old barbwire pasture fence and got a nice scratch in the comb of the stock. That one scratch ruined the guy's day and he has not hunted with that 16 since.

maim,

LOL on synthetic trees. I see lots of "new age" stuff in handguns like the Glock and others. At my local shop, it seems more and more hunting rifles are in synthetic stocks and have stainless barrels while the shotguns still have walnut stocks for the most part.
