I'm using a Remington R-25 in .308 for an elk and mule deer hunt in Montana. I leave next week. It was supposed to be on horseback, but plans changed because of location, and we have vehicle access.

Another gun I was going to use in the upcoming AGBI (Air Gun Bitch Invitational) is my Career 707 .22 caliber lever action PCP repeater, shown below. I haven't charged the gun in years, and now that I want to use it, it won't hold air. The hand pump and my scuba tank are ready to go.Teardown coming.
