Went to the woods for the first time this season. Squirrels came in on Saturday, but it was pouring, and I usually give the woods over to the working stiffs on the weekend. Anyway I saw a total of five, and bagged these two, the first to fall to the 77/22 RSI I picked up last fall. RWS SS HPs did the trick. The one fox squirrel I saw plumb evaded me, as usual. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah22/grgroves/image.jpg2_zpsks0no7lo.jpg)

Sorry, not a chance. I sold a very accurate CZ 453 to help finance that little beauty and even though so far it hasn't done nearly as well on paper, it's just too cute to matter. It will likely go to my grandson if he manages to stay out of jail until Pappy goes under.

Nice looking rifle, Pappy!

Looks tasty, the gun looks good too. We have two farms in one of the "Sunday legal" counties, I thought about going to one Sunday but there was to much here still needing done.  Any warbles? Dave.

Thankfully no. Hate those things.
My mother told me that when she was a girl the cows would get them on their backs. Whacking the hide hard right beside the hole would pop the nasty little buggers right up in the air!

I think that the 77/22 RSIs were a limited, non-cataloged, run. They show up on Gunbroker from time to time.

They also have some blued .22 Mags, generally for a good bit less money.
Mine was a "gotta have it purchase". Was looking at one online, but my LGS had one left and after shipping and FFL fee, the price was pretty much the same. Plus, The LGS is very good about receiving my online purchases, mostly older stuff, and I like to give him some real business sometimes.
