Thread: Calibre Choice in the 1970's

@mudgripz I still have my Rem Mohawk 308, l brought for my 21st in 82, when l got back from a trip Shearing in Oz all cashed up ,in those days long barreled Weatherby types were the in thing & l picked it up on special as no one wanted them & we were mad on our pigging back then & we often used horses to get right up in the back country.I brought it with a Redfield scope, but it got bent like a banana when a horse rolled on it .

Mind you l still wish l had one of the sweetest little rifles l ever owned back in those days ,a little Ruger 44mag semi Carbine a Deer field?? l think the model was ,basically a 44Mag 10/22 & they actually sold matched sets of them back then ,with a non removable rotatory mag ,l had one of those old TV screen type Weaver 2X on it & as well as a truck load of pigs it nailed some nice Sika in the thick stuff ,l often wish l had it when hunting Sika & pigs now .
