What friends are all about

The only thing that could have been any better is for the true owner of this fine rifle to have spent the long weekend hunting with us

Life is to short to hunt with an ugly gun

Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun? Whose tag line is that? Hmmmm????

When I first saw the action, it cried "Sako" at me. It still does - except for the missing integral scope bases?? Any further information, barrel, stock, caliber etc??

Hey, isn't that Chic's varmint rifle that he is afraid to admit that he owns? Dont let him fool you he loves this rifle, he just treats that rifle like it's his mistress. It would be the equivalent of this if you asked him:

"Huh, what are you talking about??? I don't know her or ever saw her before"

Loves that rifle? Is that why I have seen him KISS that rifle?

That's Chic's newest artistic endeavor in the style of Jackson Pollock... African Walnut never looked so good!

Chic, you are such a good sport, we really did miss you on this trip. Wish I could make the one this week but the dates are just wrong for me.

Jimmy,
Maybe next year. Enterprise is so damn much more scenic that Crane.

I heard that Tyler was hammering them down there and has claimed my other rifle (whose gray stock compostion shall remain nameless, lol)

Yes he is. I feel sorry for him but his mother thinks its just alright. He is a true lefty too, meaning he is left eye dominant.

I did buy him one of the Montana Rifleman actions in left hand but even in the short action it is big and heavy for a nine year old. He has a left hand single shot bolt action 22LR but of course that was much too slow for sage rat shooting.

So Howard, are you putting a limit on how much you will spend on a great kid? Seems like to me your acting like a cheap bastard

Even something like this in 22WMR until he gets that new Dakota
