There some things a person shouldn't have to do:

Eat broccoli
Drive a Subaru
Hunt with a Ruger American


After owning one I think Shrapnel is right. I bought one for shooting prarie dogs this summer when I first moved to Montana. I didnt want to invest alot of money into a rig given I didnt know what sort of access I would have and if I would like it. It filled the bill given that, but i just replaced it with a CZ 527.


while I agree with Shrap...on the Ruger American...

one of the coolest individual rifles I have seen in quite a while
was a CZ in 204, when I was in New Mexico Last Summer..

I went and spent a couple of days with Mark Shubert, one of our campfire members
who resides up in Las Vegas NM....we spent a day driving around some of his property
that he was showing me, in his Chevy that he uses for his Ranch Truck...

Leaning against the seat was a CZ in 204... sporter model, 3 x 9 Leupold on top...

being in a ranch truck, this puppy was beat to crap on the outside...
stock, all scratched up, bluing all scuffed up on the barrel...

Looked as if she had been rode hard and put away wet....

But that rifle shows the beauty in a working rifle, that is one the job 7 days a week, 365 days
a year....and when called upon it does the same quality of job, it did the day it found a home
leaning against the front seat on Mark's Truck....

I thought quite a bit about what I consider in the beauty of that rifle...
something a plastic stock rifle just wouldn't have the same appeal...
but would probably look the less as being a truck gun veteran...
