Is Heym making their plain-jane model in .450/.400 3"? There was some discussion about this a while back. If so, that may just be the cat's pajamas for entry into the world of doubles.

Marrakai, I have no argument against using vintage DR's. I just know if you beat it up it loses a lot. At least that's my thought. But again, I do hunt with my best guns. They aren't closet queens. I don't think we are in disagreement.

About the posting time out. I had it happen just Sunday. Composed a brilliant rant on some subject or the other, pushed the "Continue" button, and got the dreaded message. I did as instructed: pushed the "Back" button. NOTHING! Pushed the "Refresh" button. NOTHING! All that wisdom went down the cyberspace vortex, never to be read and appreciated. By then the mood had passed. I shut down the computer and went about my business.

Ok, 2/3 of this is off-topic. Just pick up on my comments about the Heym. That was meant to be responsive to the original post.

Best,
Curl
