Boar!

Next week my good buddy Paul and I are headed to Arizona.  We’re hunting Russian boar.  I’m excited.  It’s been close to 30 years since I’ve been out chasing pigs, and I am really looking forward to it.   You may remember I wrote about the gorgeous curly maple Model 70 I bought earlier this year specifically for this purpose, and we’re ready.

I’ve got the right load and we’re pumped up about going.  Paul will be hunting with a Model 70, too.  His rifle is a classic pre-64 Model 70 in .270 Winchester that used to belong to his father.   The pre-64 Model 70s are the real aristocrats in the fine rifle world, and .270 Winchester is the quintessential cartridge.  It’s a fine rifle and a fine cartridge.

I’ll be posting about our trip from the field, and hopefully I’ll have a few good photos to include.   Stay tuned!
