Got my October 2009 copy of The Varmint Hunter magazine last week. As I was reading it this weekend, I found on page 135 a great article about a guy from Oregon named Rick, and his buddies who have formed some kind of hunting club. As I read, I got this feeling like I knew the whole bunch! Wierd! This guy Rick has like 8(..teen) rifles dedicated to shooting cute little creatures he likes to call "Skippy", from a shooting rest/bench he built himself! The article covers 5 full pages, covering everything from recommended internal perimeter defense weapons, to the proper diet for a varmint hunter. Good stuff! Check it out guys! It's very well written! : )

RIO - he is everywhere! LOL!

BO,

I would have known it was well written if you just said Rick did it. Sure sounds like he has a great setup. Too bad he doesn't have a couple nice Savages to make it perfect.

HotShot - He only needs two Savage actions and two of his infamous Leupold scopes.....and a cart for barrels and boltheads.

Who is this Rick guy and why is he making up stories about me snoring??? I haven't received my copy yet but I'm sure looking forward to getting it soon. Gary

I feel left out too, haven't got my copy either. Rick.........is he part of the Oregon PETA program?

Yup, that's me alright......People Eating Tasty Animals.

Haven't seem my issue either, as we're at the butt-end of the country when it comes to mail service. Looks like I'll have to trade-in all my Remchesters for carts full of Salvage boltheads and barrels too before next season. Naaaah, I think I'll pass..... acloco....that would be reverse evolution! (And Hotshot, you know better! )

Gary: Don't be bashful....your snoring prowess is soon to be known world-wide! (Just think, your snoring 'power' could be used to knock down unwanted structures, heat bearings, settle new pavement on highways.......the possibilities are endless! Maybe "Weapons-Grade" Snoring?)

If you could tape that so we could play it on a varmint caller maybe somewhere in the way back of Wyoming or North Dakota it would call dinosauers into range. We'd be on the cutting edge of a new sport(however, it's already illegal in California). I'm gonna start building a new rifle, actually I just need a barrel and some dies-I got the Savages.

There ARE "nutted" Remington barrels available now......

I, for one, am really glad to hear that news. I am really sick and tired of dealing with all those female Remington barrels all these years.

I hear ya brother...UNPREDICTABLE, TEMPERMENTAL, and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, wanting something!

Guys, My wife wants credit for staying married to me for over 32 years with this alledged snoring going on every night! She has asked for sainthood!!!!! Gary

Okay, she gets a royalty on the dinosauer call.

Rick....I thought your article in VH was great. Only wish we had that kind of "Skippy" shooting here in Illinois. Years ago, I had lot's of fun shooting on a farm that had tons of gophers (13 line ground squirrels) on it, but urban sprawl eventually put a damper on that. I look forward to your posts/pictures and more of your experiences varmint shooting. Maybe an informative article on bullet coatings (WS2) or Moly etc. pros and cons?

could someone please post some scans


for a few of us Aussie readers that enjoy the many RIO stories and pics
