Dad gave my wife a 88 in 243 when she complained about the recoil of my 308..Had to take the scope off cause she could never find anything in it...LOL She used to do a lot of cowboy action and was far more comfortable with open sights..

Same rifle back when dad had it.. That larger buck was his last..

Thanks for the stories. Dad sounds like he was a cool dude!
