Went "gopher" (Richardson's ground squirrel) shooting with a couple of friends in June, one the rancher who owned the land. I let one of them shoot my .17 Hornet for a while, and he decided he needed one. The rancher had a pre-'64 Winchester M70 .22 Hornet, and we sat together while shooting for a couple of hours one day. Afterward he decided he needed a .17 Hornet too.
