Those other guys just want it so they can have that sweet thing sitting there with all their other sweeties. I want to cradle it in my arms, set it on the rest, squeeze the trigger and let it achieve fulfillment.

I've been looking for something like this for a while to give to my dad, as

Giving him an Anschutz will be so much better than some new off-the-rack Savage/Marlin/whatever.

As for your precarious self defense squirrel situation, may I suggest a perimeter of Claymores and trip wires....
