It was a great afternoon to be out squirrel hunting on Thanksgiving day. I put a Leupold VX1 2-7x33mm corrected parallax free to 50 yards on the Kimber Hunter, which was like the first scope I had on it when I got the rifle back in 2007; was happiest with that scope-rifle combo out of all tried so I put her back that way. The knife is a Case 3 Finn 4" stainless stacked leather hunter that has been discontinued for several years; with it's 4" blade it's halfway in size between the 3" blade M3 Finn and the 5" blade 316-5 . I had originally planned on keeping it pristine to collect but the temptation to use it was too much, and it happened to be a great choice for a small game knife, worked very well. Shots ranged from ten yards at the least to about sixty on the last shot of the afternoon. CCI Subsonic performed as expected from the Kimber. I should have had 2 more in the bag but I wobbled on offhand shots and missed a couple. I ain't as steady as I used to be, shakey from nerve damage.
