Some gun stuff.

Gun stuff. I just ordered a cheap BSA Red Dot scope for my Weirauch HW40PCA air pistol.

I have a Citori Lightning Field with 26" barrels that I bought about fifteen years ago, and I’ve never had a day of trouble from it. That thing absolutely murders skeet targets all on its own - I hardly have to do anything.

I still think that Browning OUs are the best value on the market. A lot of people prefer Berettas for cheap shotguns, but their customer service sucks.

Yep. Me, I think I’m gonna with until the old gets senile. When I take away his BMW, I’m gonna grab his Citori Lighthing. And his Beretta Gold Pigeon. And his Winchester 21.

The .17 HMR craters the steel more like what you see from a centerfire rifle. The cartridge is a hot little number. The rifle is very affordable and very accurate. Get yourselves one.

Speaking of the .17 HMR, didn’t Ruger make a few MkII’s in that caliber just a couple years ago? I’m think that should prove to be a very collectible pistol.

If I had the money (ie, not saving up for a holiday later this year), I’d be getting myself one of the new Lever-Action 12ga M1887 shotgun clones that have just come into the country (Pump-action shotguns are almost impossible to legally own, lever-action shotguns are fine).

Hah! I’ve got one of the originals stashed away - in 12 ga; the 10 gauge guns are more collectible, though, so I’m told. Belonged to my Grandfather’s dad. He traded a squirrel dog and a couple bushels of corn for it in the early 1890’s.

I think those were in the .17 MII, not the .17 HMR. .17 MII never took off like the .17 HMR, I guess because it costs nearly as much and doesn’t produce the same velocity. It’s sole virtue is that it can be used in weapons designed for .22lr with just a barrel swap. (And a heavier recoil spring if you are using it in an autoloader)
