    Beg to differ. The Fatbum [22-250] and triple deuce are a world apart in performance. The 222 is good to 2 hundy and the Fatbum can sting to 4 hundy. Jon Williams used the Fatbum in the veniuson era...

    Wize words indeed, and while I like really accurate rifles, and enjoy the challenge of getting something to "shoot", when I go hunting my favorites are always "what's gonna be best to carry in that...

    If you go for perfection, everything must be perfect. Bugger that. Even if I had the perfect combination and load, Im not a perfect shooter. Perfection is elusive. When I was farming I thought I...
