She'll be here next week. Think it's worth a try? Or do I have to stick to stuffed aminals, with the fake?

A Ruger in 17FB? Never heard of such a thing. But I like it! BTW,,, Dog Hunter's right. There's no way you can kill a "Dog" (or even a Cat) with a FB. Nope, nada, un-uh, no way, can't be done. Oh,,, wait. Never mind.

here's a pic that 'slave put up. Look at that cool scope. It even has those twisty things on top for long range. Is that neat, or what? If you wanna swap glass, just to be cool, I'd take that one of yours off yer hands...

Oh,,, I like that allot, but you're right in that it needs more appropriate glass. Just not mine. Nothing wrong with those twisty things on top of a heavy, long range, Gofer gun but they're pretty much useless on a walking varminter. Course, that just my opinion and the next guy might like em. To each his own. That FB should round out your Ruger collection nicely. Good luck with it.

Since the furball won't be here for a few days, I figgered to fill in with the whore-gnat again. 20 grain vmaxes just pencil thru at 350 yds if no bone is hit. This guy was a stud-booner-boar-burrower. Beats the hell outta shooting teddybears.......

So mtcurman...these calls you make...are the reeds fairly freeze proof? Does the sound get distorted by blowing too hard? (shut yer trap guys...) I way prefer mouth calls when targeting coyotes. Bobcats I prefer my foxpro.
What would it take for you to send one my way???

Took 3 rds from the whore-gnat to knock him outta the tree. Should have had the much-more-powerfull-er, but still woefully inadequate-er, 17 Fireball for todays little expedition.....
