Junk science. Bleeding heart story. Notice the picture of the "fragmented bullet." How many times have you seen a bullet fragment like that in flesh? It looks like they shot a steel plate for a better visual effect.
Give them and inch and they will take it all. Next comes the copper...
JLS,
Seeing your children in distress is excruciating. You are doing the right thing - shower her with love and support. I read a quote the other day - "Depression thrives in secrecy but shrinks in empathy." Your and your wives openness will do wonders for her.
And don't forget (I'm sure...
I had an 89. By 75K, I had replaced the head gaskets twice, a water pump, and 2 power steering pumps. It used oil, the head liner fell apart, the paint peeled off and the water based primer dissolved leaving bare metal. Other than that, it was a good one.
OK I'll bite - I have dispatched quite a few PD's with a 22. Leave the CZ at home and get yourself a 10/22T and a scope with knobs or ballistic reticle. With a 22, you should be more worried about the wind than drop. For young prairie dogs and gophers at an unknown range, use a...
Exactly what I was thinking. Redo the bases and rings and try a different scope before giving up. My father in law has one just like you are describing (Varmint Special) and I load 100 grain partitions for him and he has killed quite a few deer with it. Before that he used 100 grain...
I just discovered one of my already replaced once Limbsaver recoil pads is melting again. I should have gone with the Supercel when they replaced it the first time. They are unobtainium now.
My two boys are seven years apart. They didn't go with me until they showed interest and when each did, they were front and center. I didn't take a shot for about 10 years. College and girls took over and they haven't hunted with me in about 10 years. Lots of goofing off and talking on...
200 yards. The goal for a young hunter is success. The closer you get, the greater the chance of a properly placed shot. Winging shots at 400 + yards with questionably expanding bullets is asking for a gut shot/wounded and unrecoverable animals. Success = encouragement.
