Thougt I would share my 12 yr olds first deer from last weekend here. <br> <br> <br> <br>He shot it using 140 CoreLocs in a 6.5x55 at 50 yards in Kentucky. <br>I cant imagine myself hunting solo anymore . It doesnt fill right without one of my sons with me. But that is just me. <br>Now to get the other two their first deer. If ignorance is bliss,why aren't you smiling?

Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have. When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it. PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

It is a real flat shooter also. <br>I dont know the specs on it. I will have to ask him. I am a dummy in regards to centerfires. Just know how to shoot them. <br>Don..yes you are right again LOL I can tell you that as excited I was last year at your place ,I was more excited and happy this year being there with my son when he got his. Nothing can compare to it.
