Curl,

You had me sitting hear at my computer lauging outloud. I was just trying to figure out what you were planning to shoot an elephant with if you needed a 500 NE for a whitetail

.

I thought I was the only one who was sick. I was given a Model 86 in 33 win a few years ago. I wanted to try it out so bad I took it out squirrel hunting

. I beleive by co-incidence that the following year PA made it illegal to hunt squirrels with a centerfire. At least I hope it was coincidence and no one got the wrong idea of me walking the woods with the 86.

Bill

P.S.- I should note that all the shots I took were of squirrels on the ground with a known backstop. No shots were left fly at squirrels in the trees.
