"Honey, rifles are like car engines, after a few years of hard use they need to be 'rebuilt'..." haha

Did the same, and given that she decided to spend her life with me, was the best the thing that ever happened on this end.

If a gay were JO, he'd be doubly-screwed, though likely liking it much. If you wear blue and shoot a .308, or a 7-08, just aim for parts other than the ass, and you're likely fine.

SKane Campfire Ranger Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 24,652 Likes: 1 Midwest	Originally Posted by Greenhorn yes, #5 fluted 27.5" stainless 1:10. McMillan 2 color molded in color sporter, shilen triger, lightweight pin assembly, shroud, and bottom metal, weather res finish, should be a nice rifle. I'll have the TallyLW mounts and the same scope on it, but with an elevation turret. Reckon that'll cross a canyon....or two. You SOOOOOOOOOOOOO need to put an blue anodized shroud on the firing pin assembly. You, uhhhh, gonna sell the McMillan stock off of the AWR? WWP53D

Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE! No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's. A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
