(with Leupold 4X12) For rimfire Ruger 10/22 HB custom (with Leupold 6X42) Ruger 17 Hummer (with Leupold 6X36) Sako Finnfire 22 (with leupold 3X9EFR) For handguns Ruger MK II 4" BB S&W Ti .357 Browning HP in .40 S&W These are the ones that get used the most. Seems I've got several guns that are neglected. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Virgil B.
