Grandson's New Rifle

JohnP · September 23, 2009, 08:47:01 AM

I thought he should have a dedicated squirrel rifle.

Starting him out sniping squacks at 1200+ yards..... schweeeet!

Apparently you have bigger squirrels than we have here in Kaintuckee.

Since that is what he is using to get started I will be looking forward to his future firearms.

It was a retirement gift from an organization that I worked for.

He's gone have to get an after school job so he can feed that thing. But that is some motivation for good work/money ethic's

Yotehntr · September 23, 2009, 09:28:16 PM

Wow! awesome rig!

FinsnFur · September 23, 2009, 10:02:04 PM

Seriously John? So it's a legitimate, functional squack squasher?

JohnP · September 24, 2009, 12:46:57 AM

Yes Jim, it is legit, very functional and very accurate at unbelievable ranges. It has many miles on it and seen and done things no sane person should see or do. It has helped more than a few young men get safely back to their loved ones. I haven't fired it since that time, I take it out about twice a year, run a patch through it, oil it down, shed a tear or two for those who did not make it back, and put it back in the safe. I have written a short history on it and at the proper time and place my grandson will have the rifle and the stories that go with it. I also received:

John,

It is truly sad that things like this are necessary, but if it were not for people like you there would be many more of us that would be in harms way. Thanks for all you have done.
