Plenty to keep me busy while my mom shopped elsewhere in the store.

We had a small Monkey Wards in our small town. Not many guns there but what pulled me in was the big Western knife display. Really wanted that hatchet knife combo.....

Tried bidding on a display like that about 10 years ago at an hardware store that was going out of business. It was missing probably 30% of the knives but it went for a bit over what I could spend. Would have been cool in the mancave.

Thanks guys. I can’t wait to get to get to range!

Range?
Tis the season to stock the freezer

That hatchet and knife combo sheath is suh-weet.

Love that stock Elk!
I killed a swag of goats with a similarly stocked offering in a Brno .223.

I had no idea they had a Weatherby style stock. Is that original of after market. Beautiful rifle!

It’s all original that I know of.

Well, Sako and I went to the range today. That old ought six is a fun rifle to shoot! It shoot pretty darn well. The last group o shot was a four leaf clover at 50 yards. Yeah I know that’s no long range outing but the range was packed. Sako and I went on to the shotgun range and shot some clay….. super fun!

Great day at the range for sure. Put a few rounds down range with Elks 06 and it's a shooter for sure.
It was a single shot rifle day for me. C.Sharps in 25-35 and 40-65 WCF along with my Browning 78 45-70 and the Vintage Rolling block .22
Rounded out the day as Andy said on the trap range and had a blast. It's been a couple years since I picked up my Citori and I shot pretty decently.
Andy made it look easy with a CZ 12ga SXS that was new unfired until today. Shotguns will join the rotation more frequently now I think.

Was a great day for sure!!

Better pic of the Citori.since I forgot to take any at the range

That is just gorgeous in so many ways.

That seems a waste of time. Just buy a plastic stock and throw the on the fire.

.........and thread it for a can....

Beautiful looking rifle btw
