Had some fun yesterday

Had some fun with this yesterday. Took the GF's grandson shooting. This was my first "real" gun at 8 yrs old. Winchester 72A .22 single shot. I forgot how accurate this little gem is.

Congrats, out with the kids is a great way to spend your time..

My grand father started my brother & I on one,, I think his was a Win M60 single shot. It was very accurate, bagged a bunch of squirrel, rabbits, & the occasional pheasant..

Looks like you took pretty good care of that little rifle. Nice way to spend quality time with the young ones too.

I wanted a simple bolt action .22 awhile back so I bought a Marlin 925 and really like it.

The only thing wrong with your scenario - girlfriends aren't supposed to be old enough to have grandsons!

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Good for you! We still have the .22lr that my dad gave me when I was 5. His dad gave it to him when he was a kid back in the 1920's. I gave it to my son and his girls will shoot it when they are old enough...
