But wait, there’s more!! Another rifle from my Mentor.

Post by Zee »

A couple weeks ago, my Mentor came over and helped me get rid of stuff in my Cave that I didn’t need. As always, he came bearing gifts.
He let me have his Browning HiWall in .25-06 for trade.

That’s alright. Forget about “us”. Just go ahead and keep secrets. Let “us” find on about this on the internet.

Arrrggghhh...That looks pretty much like my old Browning High Wall in 7mm Rem Mag. That was a hell of a shooter...no reason that one shouldn't be...You suck...

You seem to have gotten rid of several nice guns in your time. Idiot.

Thanks. I’d never had one on my radar. But, he offered so why not?

The Miroku High Walls ROCK! Methinks you're gonna like that one.

I like the old scope. 3.5-10 or 6.5-20?
WWJMBD?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

I concur, I have a Miroku traditional hunter in 38-55 that is a wonderful rifle! This rifle will handle more than the shoulder will…. And brass

That one looks to be in superb condition! Beautiful!
Brings great memories back of my Browning 78 7mm RM
Excellent shooter I thought. It sold me forever on falling blocks, though there were always critics of the trigger it was never an issue for me.
I gave it to a nephew a few years ago so its still in the family
Very nice!

Great looking gun. I still have a few -06 based cartridges to add to my collection still. 25-06 is one of them.
