A couple of nice rigs Gary.
I wish we could still have semi autos in Oz. sigh...
A friends' Dad had one when I was a kid and I only ever used it once. I always wanted to get one but John Howard declared me (and all Australians) unfit to have semi autos before I was old enough to buy one.
I've got a Winchester 9422 that I just love as a walk around rifle. Probably for the same reason you enjoy it. Light, easy handling, fast shooting and large magazine capacity. In .17HMR, now that sounds even better!
Strangely enough I am also looking forward to the Northern spring, so that all you guys have material for some great posts
Don't forget to take the camera with you.
Man I love this stuff! Gary
krats) keep trying to do the same to us! In fact in the state of Washington (just north of my home in Oregon) a crazy demonkrat has introduced a bill that would ban semi-autos. They even have a law in Washington where you can own a silencer but you can't use it! I wish that these fools would write the laws against the criminals instead of against law abiding citizens. 
On a happier note, the Eastern Oregon Raptor Feeding Society has just got confirmed dates for our spring adventures! 
The camera is ready, ammo is being loaded, rifles are being tuned up, scopes are being aquired. 
Looks like my kid's radar is locked on!
