PLSO Oregon Surveyor Vol. 40 No. 6

The Oregon Surveyor | Vol. 40, No. 6 12 PLSO Conference Win this .44 Magnum Big Boy model and support the PLSO Scholarship Fund! Back when the West was still wild and the rifle was the tool of choice for survival and frontier justice, the venerable .44-caliber helped settle the West by putting more meat on the table and outlaws in the ground than any other bullet. Along with laboring six to seven days a week and walking up to 20-miles a day, surveyors dealt with not only dangerous attacks from strangers, but also wild animals, venomous snakes, and serious accidents, though each hazard was understood as a nor- mal part of the job. The West may have been surveyed, tamed and fenced long ago, but its unbridled spirit lives on in this line of traditional big-bore Henry rifles—made right here in the USA.
