So many guns so few opportunities. Just back from the range the M70 22 Hornet is prairie dog ready as are the Swifts and others. Working on a SG 300 H&H why I'm not real sure of yet but hopefully it will all come together.

You know your having a good day when the buzzards start circling and it's good practice for deer season.

Accurate rifles (even those old Winchesters) lots of ammo and a place to use them.....PRICELESS.

American Express for me is a 55gr ballistic tip at 3000 FPS meeting flesh:) Hey that's just me however.
It's doing God's work after all. He made varmints and man and man made varmint rifles to be used on varmints so It's all part of the master plan. that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
