I hope Sean can see this. There's something minimal and freeing about hunting with an M1 receivered rifle.

I know,I always try to use one different M1 each year.

I really enjoy your post and pictures of animals you have hunted with M1s . I also remember watching a few post as you hunted parts and such for these very rifles you hunt with. Meat on the table for a week , thats very cool. As of late my rifles do not even serve as paper weights . You are one guy that no one could argue the use of scopes , certain ammo, where or how to hunt as you make it happen. Still throwing prayers your way.
