Loaded up a handful of rounds for the barrel break in and to get it on paper, season is only a month away. Fired 3 shots on a pizza box to get close. Then moved over to the target. Three shots landed in the hole on the right. I adjusted and called it good for now. Time to load more rounds and stretch her legs to see how she does a little further out. Load development might be finished Seven shots and she's ready to rock...

Picked up the TI stock here on the 'Fire. Old style trigger worked over by local gunsmith... 2.5 lbs. Old dude does an amazing job. Trigger guard and guts from the 'Fire.

I just keep buying powder and boolits, then shooting stuff and pokin' critters . Had a few Pac Nor tubes and I'm impressed with their work, delivery time, bbl quality and accuracy.

That rig will just about do it all. Good job. - Greg Success is found at the intersection of planning, hard work, and stubbornness.
