Re: Poor dog
Love always has a cost. At age 13, our male Chessie was hit by a car and had to lose a leg. $3,500 later, he lived 2 more happy years, mostly with mamma in the kitchen. We adopted a blind and deaf pup, a rough coated Jack mix. Love her to death; this dog has helped me out of severe emotional crisis....

Re: TC G2, .30-30 single shot?
The current twist is 1:10. Will this be an issue for the lighter bullets?
I like the fact that the barrel is not tapered; hopefully that suggests that it's heavier and stiffer and possibly more accurate.

TC G2, .30-30 single shot?
Anyone familiar with the latest G2 rifle, in .30-30? I'm interested in working with the .30-30 for 100-200 yard target shooting and this looks like a nice rifle.

More versatile and available than the 6.8, a good bit more punch than .223, much lighter recoil than .308.

Anytime you pack the shotgun, that dog is gonna go nuts! Once they get pheasant up their nose and figure out that flush leads to shot / leads to retrieve, you've made a hunter.
For me, the dog work is a big part of the hunt.
