250 Centimeters...........jeez yer old.

Actually my 788 was bought for me in Apache Junction Arizona by my Grandpa and in the Arizona desert a young boy is only limited by the number of rounds he carrys. Close shots became de'rigeur (sp) so I learned to pop prickly pear buds at crazy distances off hand.....game was shot closer.

I do appreciate the challenge of hunting our west slope jungles and just returned from the willow and alder thickets of Alaska where 90' would have been a clearcut. But just bein' there is the most important aspect for me.
