Wonder what is going on here.

Any one have a gun that shoots .219?

A friend has an older 9.5" that was his Father-Inlaw's. Been getting the urge for one of those beasts. I always gave him a hard time that the reason he was a better shot than me was his barrel was closer to the target. Do they show up often? I see they are still made but would rather have a more vintage version if I can find one. My friend made a real nice holster for his, if I find one I will try to talk him into making one for me.

It does take some time to get use to living in a free state.

Wanted Dead or Alive 1958-1961 Been re-watching these shows, he sure could handle that Mare’s Leg. Still tempted to buy one from time to time.

An I thought the lever gun was the interesting part of the image, who would have thunk it.

Several mentioned air rifles and it reminded me of a someone on a different forum say he used Aguila 22 LR 20 Gr Colibri Quiets. The fellow said where he hunted squirrels there was often several on the ground under nut trees at the same time. The Quiets were so silent that he could kill several before they noticed their friends were falling over. I have shot them a few times and in a rifle I could hear the hammer hit and the bullet hitting the target. They will not cycle a semi and they have a lot of drop to compensate for but they are fun. People have warned about squibs but I haven't had any problems. Very similar to CB caps.

Oops!!!

French Resistance during WW2

Last time I hunted squirrel for meat instead of pest control was 50+ years ago with my grandfather. He always used a shotgun, I thing 12g and I would use a .22 with shorts. He would kid me about it constantly. He would always get enough for supper, I got nothing. I do remember the occasional shotgun pellet but not many so my Grandfather must have been good at finding them. I remember pan fried squirrel as being very good but never learned to dress them out and my wife said she would only cook them if I cleaned them. I would be afraid to use .22 long for tree shots, the bullet can travel a long ways unless you are in a very isolated area.

I feel safer

Not sure where I got this from so it may have been here. Just found it on my desktop and it bares repeating. Showed it to my wife and she sent it to her cousin who forwarded it to her all ladies shooting club.
