Gunner which model do you have? I'm guessing 39 variant since they were more prevalent? Do you play with the 17 at all? Yessir, Original Golden 39M, no Sir on the 17's. Trump Won!

But I certainly don't shoot them any less. My life out here remains largely unchanged. I'm fortunate in that respect. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

Maybe we should sell a few bricks to pay the mortgage? $175 for a brick of Thunderbolts really make me wonder. I am not selling my Thunderbolts. They work well in my Winchester 1906.

They look too big to be cottontails. Damn, that's a nice pile. Where I hunt bunnies, it's tough to swing a gun. Woods from hell. Shootin' the .22? Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 100+ rds an outing, if the range isn't snowed in. I have enough to last a few years. I like the off-hand matches on Rimfire Central, too. prplbkrr = Purple Biker Can't score goals if all you do is pass.

Those are all cottontails, if you look at the rocks behind us they come out and sun themselves on the rocks and we just drive around and head shoot them. One of my grandsons favorite past times.
