I have a set of 2 Browning A Bolt II Rifles chambered in .257 Roberts that I am raffling to support our youth shotgun shooting program. Saeed has kindly allowed me to post this here. The set is an adult and youth model with the Adult rifle having 22" barrel and the youth model a 20" barrel. The youth model has a shorter length of pull. The winner gets both rifles. The rifles and knives were made available to us through Midway Foundations. The tickets are priced at $35 for one or $100 for three. For each ticket you purchase, you will receive a nice set of folding knives. There are 300 total tickets and we have sold 100 locally. The winning ticket will be drawn on November 30th. You must be 18 years or older to purchase tickets. You can pay with a personal check, money order or certified check. The set of knives will be sent to you along with your ticket. The set of rifles will be transferred to the winner through a Federal Firearms Licensee and the winner will be responsible for the transfer. Send your payment for the tickets to C. Worthing, 3020 Conarty Road, Malaga, WA 98828. Make the payment to Wenatchee Valley SCTP.   | ||

Put me down for a ticket. Last time you posted a rifle raffle I bought a ticket and did quite well. Not to mention it is a great cause, kids shooting sports are the future of our sport. | |||

Thank you cooperjd. Snellstrom, I have been carrying your winning stub with me in my wallet since the drawing. I will send it to you along with the knives and your new ticket. BTW I am going to have another set of 4 Super Grade winchesters again. Not sure of the release date but I will post it on here. This time you need to buy more than one ticket.  I hope your sons and you are making good use of those rifles. | |||

Chic, I am in for 3 tickets. Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
