Oldest son loves his Hawkeye in 35 Whelen! And I know for a fact that the 9.3 x 62 is deadly on elk! While on our spring hawg hunt, I was able to put a few on paper with this years rifle of choice. One of my beloved Krags. However four and a half feet high at 150 yds didn't seem appropriate for a good rifle, and giraffe are not on the menu this year. So, being I was off today, I spent the morning sweating a new front sight ramp on my rifle of choice!

Now back to the range! Oh, I just picked up another Model 12 last week so I decided to throw it in the photo too!

Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
