After spending weeks researching different calibers 270, 7-08, 308, 30-06, 300 Sav., 280 ect.. I finally figured there isn't a whole lot of difference in any of them so I should look for a good deal and not sweat the caliber. Last week I was at the range and the guy next to me is shooting a nice looking single shot. He let me check out his gun it was a SSI made by Mossberg. I started looking around and the gun was going for $350-400. I happened to call Galyan's and they had them on clearance for $229. So I jump in the car head straight to Galyan's. When I get there they had a 223 Rem. and a 308. So now I own a 308 all I have to figure out is what scope to get and which load 150 -163-180 slugs and what powder, primer , case oh lord will it ever end.
