I bought my first gun a tikka 270 and got 3 boxes of ammo with it .what i didn't notice was one of them was 7mmo8 ammo .in my excitement as a young lad i was sighting it in and enjoying shooting it when I reached for the second box of ammo .ended up loading the mag and fireing a 7mm08 round down it .it went back boooooom all right ....leassions where learnt the fast hard was this day @ c-dog do you rember this ?

Brought a Krico 600 in .270 cal 1981. West German rifle - payed about $400 second hand - brilliant rifle. 3 shot box mag. Had the rifle for about 24 yrs - never saw another hunter with a Krico. Premium rifles in the day, probably still are?
