What do you do,,, pen raise those dam things?
Our Gofers went under two months ago.
You're gonna love that cartridge but that stock's gotta go.
Any luck finding one yet?
I wonder if a good sanding and some dark stain would cover that green?

Pen raise? No, I live on a ranch that was infested with them.
Emphasis on the 'was'....... grin
No luck finding a walnut stock yet. But, the green plywood feels good and it's kinda grown on me, so no big hurry. I did think about slopping a coat o' paint on it, but won't. Does need the trigger lightened.

These aren't the skwirls that you are used to. These are blacktail prairie dogs. You'll see them up yearround and all winter during sunny days. win/win.....

A few pasture pups were out playing in the snow. Had to 'darkside' a few with the new hornet for ingwe......The customary red 'fan' of the bigger cartridges was somewhat missing with the diminutive 'green hornet'. ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/huntsman22/guns/IMG_2061.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/huntsman22/guns/IMG_2067.jpg)

Nice.
Since I'm a skinny armed, weak sister, I'm gonna hold out for a sporter barrel version.

Leopard Shorts talked me into a .204.
It was a target Ruger.
It shot very well.
I loved the bore.
I sold it.
Figger it would be the same story here.

Nah. I'm not THAT gay. The fireball is nearly the .17 Rem.
I'll do the 700 in light varminter 204 soon. In a TI.
