Great collection of guns that you brought out. Love nice wood stocks I know from past posts there are many more days in the gopher patches ahead for you. Looking forward to seeing more of your collection. Hugh

As many rifles as you use what is your routine for keeping them all in such good condition? mike r Don't wish it were easier Wish you were better Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

Looks like a great day in field and I wish we had some of those little suckers around here but I don’t think the farmers would be too thrilled about ‘em. 😁 NRA Life,Endowment,Patron or Benefactor since '72.
