I thought some folks here might enjoy listening to the story of how one man and his Model 70 Winchester made a difference at Guadalcanal.  Enjoy…

I watched a video about idk, month or two back, i guess on YT? But its a great story that I enjoyed very much, which was totally new to me! He sure did some heroic, cool headed work to get out of there alive!
