You mean the savage! Yep I like it. I'm gonna buy one.

Henry's are nice, but I don't think they are tough, nor the best for your money.

I do like the idea of a lever 22. But like you said earlier, a pistol might be more handy.

^ Yes it verywell may be. I think I've concluded that I'll keep that lever gun, and buy a .22 pistol once in Ak, along with a .44.

I got the weird idea to rebarrel my .300 to .458.

What do you think? I know it's not needed. But I think it would be little more fun.

Then if I really don't like the 458 I can put my .300 barrel back on.

But the only one I found was a stainless barrel for 131 dollars.

300 Win Mag will suffice.

Well I decided to stick with my .300 and my .22.

Eventually I"ll get a .44 revolver.
