Well ,I joined BHA and cancelled and might join again.I cannot find an organization that suites my ideals well.I treasure the backcountry, and I would like to find a group that is more neutral politically..at the same time that has an agenda to preserve what is left of the wild country for...
Everyone needs a levergun..mine is a blr takedown.It is a 270 win shortened to 38 1/2 " , with a 19" barrel.The 7mm/08 is a great choice too.The bullet choice is more important than the headstamp.
I am a 270 user..for decades but I use the 25/06 as well.My 25/06 is even easier to shoot that the 270's...a little more accurate .Have used this on elk and moose ...use a good bullet.The only detractor is the longer than 22"barrel.
