Like some others have said my DNA and fingerprints have LONG since been public domain between the military and local and federal LEO positions. Further, some of the assignments I have had and things I have been exposed to have given me a pragmatic/fatalist view. If the government WANTS to know...
This one will start out with deer and we'll see from there. With the speed of the cartridge it carries a LOT of energy. I got a great deal on my choice of these Live Wild editions and figure a Mark V deserved a classic Weatherby round.
......and, out of left field......SFC B comes in with a WILD CARD......

She will be Sheri (as in Sheridan) and she is in 257 Weatherby. She is still at work because I need to take in glass tomorrow to mount. She is getting a Swaro Z3 4x12 BT ...
My wife went to one of the hillbilly concerts and ended up with a totaled BMW due to a hail event. Thankfully the damage doesn't bother her so she took the $$$$$$ and kept driving. She has been a few times and enjoyed it, nothing has tempted me yet.
You mentioned the top three I would have suggested. If you want something classy a 457 Luxe is my pick. If I have grandkids that is what they will get. The open sights with the ramp are very good. I don't think you can wrong with any of the 3. Pick your set up and enjoy.

If foreign made components are an issue for you, be advised ALL of Leupold's optical components (glass/lenses) are Asian.......they are assembled in the US.
I have a rather convuluted relationship with weed/THC. When I was in HS and freshman year of college I would fairly regularly smoke. Enjoyed it but wasn't ate up with having to get high. End of freshman year I realized I wanted to be an LEO and quit.
As a prior LEO I will mirror what has...
Congrats on the season and the little one. What part of IN (home for me as well) do you hunt? I hunt Cass County thanks to Redman. Nothing beats being in the IN hardwoods in the fall for me.
I would agree that legislative restriction is the appropriate approach and this particular lawsuit is flawed. I believe states (voters) should restrict these F&W officials access to private property to AT LEAST reasonable suspicion, if not probable cause. Violating property rights "just...
