Although, VG always says he has had xx number of Varminters in any one caliber, depending on the post he jumps in on, but none of them seem to be of the class Shrapnel has.

I also can't believe you switched from a real Lightening ( I think you have a 38 caliber?) and even have a USFA rifle. I have an old relined 22 short and it is a blast to plink with.

I limit myself to 6 centerfire rifles, but my outings are 3 day road trips for Beldings Skippy. A 223 is for the long shots, 17 and 20's for volume shooting.


I didn't get rid of any original Lightnings, I just got the USFA as they are rare and extremely well made. I never saw one in 38-40 before...
