Howdy Hunting Wire!

It's time to submit nominations for our 2024-2025 Voice of Leadership Panel. We're looking for all levels of experience within our community, and from all aspects of it. If you know someone who is ready and willing to make a difference in our community, please email me at jay@theoutdoowire.com.

Do we have any lever-action rifle fans out there? I wanted to share the latest addition to the Pinsky gun safe, a 1955 Winchester Model 71 chambered in 348 Winchester. If you have any good (or bad) 348 Winchester stories, let me know. After I do some load research, and find components, I plan to take the 348 Winchester after Nilgai, and maybe a few deer between now and then. That's the plan anyway - we shall see what life throws our way between now and then.

The countdown to October Aoudad with my father's tribute rifle has started. I'm looking forward to seeing world-class gunbuilder Mark Basner build the 257 Roberts.

Have a great summer everyone!
