Browning Stalker Long Range - 300 Winchester Magnum Part II

Remington’s Model 700 Stainless 5-R Threaded Barrel Part II
I’m not sure when it all began. Might have been in the 70s and a fateful trip with our children to Disney World. More specifically, the “It’s a Small World” exhibit. My wife and I share much in common, however, in some ways we significantly differ. I stepped out of…...
