Hibby and I have swapped gun stories and hunting stories for the past couple years through email and phone calls. He lives in central PA. and I in central Mass.

I had the pleasure of a couple day visit from Hibby this weekend and he is every bit the gun nut I figured he would be LOL and more !!! He wore me out ! We spent two days looking at my guns "mostly Remington's" and a small arsenal of 8s and 81s he lugged up here from PA one of which I tried to pry away from him in the worst way !!! No luck :lol: ! I never thought I would get tired of looking at guns but I was pooped after the two days he was here.

Luke is a wealth of knowledge on Remington's and many other firearms as well as ammo and other hunting stuff. We had a good visit and we covered many topics and BOY can he eat LOL !!
He was a pure gentlemen to my girlfriend who also enjoyed his visit.

All and all a very enjoyable visit and a new friend met !!! Me being and old fart at 67 and Luke a pup at 41 I found him to be a very smart knowledgeable GUN NUT much smarter than I on many gun related questions !!

Thanks for the visit Luke !!! I hope there will be many more. John Taylor

Love it! That's awesome fellas.

I wish we were all more central and could arrange another 8/81 Meet and Greet.

Thank you for the thoughtful writeup John! It was my pleasure coming up.

I knew you liked the 700's, and boy are you an authority of knowledge on them. I'm thankful you welcomed me up and let me handle your prized Remington's!!!

You have a nice place and even nicer girlfriend and family of Australian Kelpies. I was raised where you finish what's on the plate. Apparently, my eyes thought the plates were smaller, :D she whipped up some damn good food.

See what the future brings John. I don't believe I'll tire of that gun but if I do, you'll be the first to know. Look forward to the next visit!

I would also attend!! The model 8 shoot in 2016 was awesome. The video of it is still on YouTube, I’m even in it shooting Jacks carbine model 81 with extended mag.

I'd like it as well, depends on distance & lodging costs. Not a bank...
