'73 and SAA is just a little too cowboy for me. rem 700 is way too generic and shouldn't be on the list. |

Hmm. Don’t know a whole lot about Idaho. As much as I appreciate they have the 1873 in .44-40, I kinda feel like it was more southwest than Idaho. But that’s based on no actual knowledge. So I’d pick the .30-30 just because I think mostly of hunting for Idaho and Montana. |

Uncle Rico needs to choose a different weapon.

All terrible choices with little to no actual ties to the state. They could have thrown in something in .357 or .44 magnum as a homage to Elmer Keith, but that would have taken too much effort to look into. IMO it's nothing more than to say look we pretend to be interested in guns, and other states did it so we should too. |
