Hunting rig.. the Mrs. was sick of me always throwing deer and dogs in the back of the jeeps. Pulling one over on the sale's guy even made that deal more sweet. That's another story, though.
 2003 Laramie with only 56K, and not a lick of rust. Definitely unheard of around these parts. Pretty nice woods machine if I do say so myself. Skeet, if you ever run across a couple Lyman Spartans that aren't cuffed... I'm in the market!

Not real recent, but. .. I made the mistake of perusing the gun auction sites a while back. Always ends up that I say to my self 'Hmm, I got dies for that'..... and then if the price is lower than I think it oughta be, well. . .
Anyway, ended up with a Herters J9. Got it pretty cheap, I suspect partly because only us old geezers would recognize what it is. This one's in 6mm Remington. Probably the chambering being discontinued helped keep the price down,too. Had dies, and even a few boxes of ammo and/or brass in inventory, so I was happy. Always liked the 6mm Rem. This one had an old Bushnell Command Post scope on it, 4x. If I coulda got it focused clearly for my eyes, I woulda kept it on there (I think it's me, not the scope). So, I picked up a Bushnell Trophy 3-9, and had some Redfield mounts in the parts box, so I'm good to go. From the rifle's appearance, I think it was a safe queen - little wear, no rust, and fortunately not over oiled. Actually, it was kinda dry. So, I worked up a good deer load for it. . . and then never got to use it. A friend of mine took up deer hunting when she retired, and she's a slender woman with bone density issues. A light kicker fits the bill for her nicely, so the rifle's on loan.

Not a thing new around these parts as I don't get out very much at all, but I am starting to clean up the old piles a wee little bit, so every now and then I find an item or two that "I wonder where that came from?" So it's almost like getting new gem.
