Boy-oh-boy, did I ever have a great week. First thing was worked out a deal with srose for a model 92 Winchester (Browning) in 44 mag which I picked up on Monday. Even managed to pick up some ammo. Second thing, got a prosthesis for my left leg (BTK). I have been without a left leg since the end of October. Haven't pulled a trigger in almost eight months. Have to work into it slowly. Still using a walker. More rehab but I'm betting I am going to be walking in July. Sam, I am going to give that 92 a good workout.

Go at it my friend!  D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||

Naki: Have not had the pleasure of meeting Sam in person. He knew I was looking for a 92 from my posts in the lever rifle forum and he had one to sell. He is one of the good guys. Guys, thank you so much for all your support. AR is kinda like a family. Give me a few months and I will be back on my feet again. Geez, I really need to pull a trigger..LOLOL Dave DRSS Chapuis 9.3X74 Chapuis "Jungle" .375 FL Krieghoff 500/.416 NE Krieghoff 500 NE "Git as close as y can laddie an then git ten yards closer" "If the biggest, baddest animals on the planet are on the menu, and you'd rather pay a taxidermist than a mortician, consider the 500 NE as the last word in life insurance."

Dave, All of my Heroes have at least one BKA. One of them fits one of his sports legs with lead weights for offhand shooting exhibitions with the big bores. He calls it his "Lead Leg" and says that while a Lead Sled is useless for any kind of practice with a double rifle, his Lead Leg is "the berries." The offhand-side leg (left one for a right-handed shooter) is the one that is weighted. Off-side leg is planted forward and he leans over it a bit for the shot. While others do the backward two-step with their 600 Nitros, even when they don't double-fire them, he stands pat, with perfect form. And he has a method of dumping the lead in a hurry, then the prosthesis seems light as a feather and he runs like the wind. Just takes a little practice.  | |||

Tons of well wishes Dave! I hope you are running 5K's by the end of summer!!!

Dave you'll love that little 44 mag 92. I bought a Marlin 44 mag a few years ago, and promptly had a smith cut the barrel and magazine back to 16 1/2 inches to make it a TRAPPER, that was a sweet little rifle to carry when following my bear and lion dogs. Short and light and on a sling you didn't even realize it was on your back. Glad to hear you have your new fixture! You will be hitting the hunting fields soon, and by hunting season you'll be in the woods with that little 44 mag rifle to pop a deer or two. Hang in there Hoss, a little shortening of the inseam will not hold an old dog in the Kennel. .................................................................Go get-um Dave! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||
