Just found a new Rifle..

[skeet]

Rocky ... I bought 600 rounds of factory 41 mag ammo at an estate auction 4 yrs ago...for 2 bucks a box. and 500 new brass and 400 bullets for 20 bucks??..Been looking for a gun since then. Guy had one of the new 57's at the gun show...and it is no contest.. The olders ones are really much better in quality..and I like a hammer with a real firing pin. I know the new style Smiths are probably "safer" but they don't have that "panache" of the older ones. I had an older Diamondback 22 in 4 inch one time...one of the most accurate revolvers I ever had.. But for some reason I just like Smith & Wesson better. I am going to shoot this Colt though. I shoot those nasty blackbirds and grackels that chase the little pretty birds away from the feeder..bird shot of course.. I can get more of 'em with each shot thataway!

I also acquired one of the newer 700SPS rifles in 223...new but no box. Only paid 400 for it but it's a rifle I can shoot and hunt PDogs etc with and not worry about banging up. I bought a Ruger 77 (280)stainless guns with plastic stock last fall just to hunt with.. So I don't beat up my ol purty rifles. I had another one in 280 that I sold..it had a purty wood stock. Them mountains are hard on guns..on me too. gettin too old for this mountain stuff...welllll...maybe not yet
