I hope rimfires are welcome. Here's my Ruger Predator 22LR. I've had it a bit over a month and finally got it bloody over the weekend on backyard starlings. It came with the long stock module which, combined with the short scope rail, made eye relief at the bench a problem. A saw, a flip-flop, epoxy and sander made the problem go away. Yes, I could have ordered a short LOP module, I didn't have the patience, so DIY it was.

A new one in the stable. T-storms kept me from using the fence post so the couch had to make do. 358 Winchester in a pac-nor barreled Mark X action with a 'throw-back' Leica-pold 1.75-6.

No fence post but the grass they grow from. I refinished my 303 Lee Speed styled sporting rifle with Buff Horn grip cap and forend tip To match the 400 Lee Speed I just finished (The 400 lee speed is the 405 Win shortened slightly to a case length of 2.410 and loaded with a 320 gn bullet)

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
