That was a real slam.


My feeler is hurt...



Trust me, you can't sound like a gun counter guy until you've recited a story about a family heirloom handed down over the generations that is now worth about $48 and has no bearing on any part of the conversation as it started.

And you also need a heaping dose of stupid pills before you come in.

I knew that would chap you....


My fav "gun story" is how the 7-30 Waters in a Contender was a more powerful arm than a 7 Mag Rem. 700, because it kicked more and was louder.

.20-222? Might as well build a 225 Winchester....or a 19 Calhoon...

They spoiled last night driving them around through Boulder, Helena, Townsend and Bozeman. We were cruising up and down Main Street in all those towns and didn't get them home until they were spoiled. Thank goodness we got some pictures...

I didn't originally think the 20 cal would catch on and I for one thought of it like the 17s. But after some raving reports from a few of my respected customers, I try's out a 20 tac and must say it might truly be the only varmint rifle needed. I think the 20 VT turbo would be great. Eventually I will try out one of each chambering..
