New member here. I decided to go ahead and upgrade my membership so I could comment on this one. I gotta have it! Message sent Beaver. It's great that you're looking out for your neighbors. Sorry for their loss...
Another fan of the Garmin Inreach. I hunt alone way too often. My wife likes my Inreach. She had an uncle that fell out of a treestand years ago. Made a full recovery. He laid on the ground 6 hrs before anyone started looking for him. Wife likes the SOS and text features.
IMO the 25 cal is the perfect deer cartridge and as most have said it is very underrated. I've got 2 M70 Feathers in 257 Roberts for my wife and son. Then my son has 25-06 in a savage 110 and M77. All shoot 100 gr Accubonds very well.
Hey Beaver10. I only joined LRH today because I saw the No.1 you posted for your neighbor. Feel free to reach out via text to 3348181406 if you'd like. Otherwise I'll wait the required 7 days before I respond to your classified post. Looks like a GREAT gun at a good price. GLWS!
