enough gun?

Post by trevort »

an early morning stroll was unproductive apart from the sheer pleasure of being in the country and not behind a desk.
Going up and down the hills had me reconsidering the wisdom of ordering the truck axle krieger barrel.
Coming round the final gully entrance that I would have to ascend to get back to camp I spy three rabbits dash for cover as I throw myself (well 105kgs its more of a gentle lowering than throwing!) prone on the track.
One bunny parks safe from threats at his burrow entrance and he is still there as the bipod is extended and the round chambered.
When the rifle does not move at all and the view is pretty awesome on 12 power I remember why I ordered a no 9 profile. Oh yeah!

trevort.............Very nice work on the rabbits. As far as the #9 barrel.....it looks great in that stock and everyone needs a workout or a walk about.
Some people might tote a golf bag around, you and I rather a 14 lb rifle! Very Very nice. Thanks for sharing
Nice job on matching the barrel and action finish

Yep enough gun!!
Life is an adventure and often to short. Make the most with family and friends. Shoot often and shoot a small hole. Love the 204 Ruger!! NRA Life Member
