    What is your favorite rifle?

    50 year old Ruger M77 chambered in .257 Roberts. I bought it my senior year of high school in 1972 at a Gibsons Discount for about $110 brand new, I was working on a drilling rig for a friend in my spare time making $3.25 an hour as a 17 year old.

    Low price optics

    on something like a .22, any cheapo like a Barska will work. You might consider the temps too cause the cheapos fog up quick. really with a .22 never have understood the need for a scope and I am 70.

    lower priced night vision rifle scopes

    I am looking at a low priced scope for hog hunting at night, I am using green lights now. The two I am considering are the ATN and Sightmark Wraith models, both under $1,000. I dont have ultra deep pockets and I realize this price range isn't near the best. Any input?

    I'm too old for all these new calibers. I'll stick with a few, mainly the .308, .257 Roberts, 7mm-08, .22-250 and the basic 6.5 x 55 Swede. that's all I need.
