Grandpap’s Savage 1903!

Don’t shoot it anymore... 

I’ve been looking at a plinker for tree rats.  Probably a Henry carbine with Skinner peep.

Unless I ate 'em by accident as a child, I ain't eatin' squirrel brains either.
I have ate hog brains-n-eggs.......... by choice.  ;D  ;D

I would have for sure thought a good Southern Boy like you would've eaten squirrel brains.  People think I do to....glad to hear we draw the line on the same yard line.

The only 22lr I have is a Ruger Mark IV Tactical 22/45.

Yeah, I'd like to have one of those 22/45's.  It's on the list somewhere.  If I was more of a 1911 guy I'd for sure have one. 

I am a big believer in pistol training using a 22 LR.  My accuracy improved greatly by switching from the centerfire to an 22 and noticing a bad habit getting started.  Other than being taught the basics of how to properly hold and squeeze the trigger the biggest improvement in my accuracy came by putting a 22LR into my practice routine.

We have three in the safe right now... A Henry Golden Boy...beautiful rifle. I bought a S&W Victory when they came out, and I think it's a nice pistol, especially for the price.

Third is a Marlin 60 I just brought home from my daughter's safe. It was my late son-in-law's first rifle. I brought it home to clean it up and work on it. I put about 200 rounds through it last weekend and, although it's just one step above a Red Ryder, it's a little tack driver.  I'm going to keep it running right so when Mom decides my granddaughter is ready, she can learn to shoot on her Daddy's first rifle.

I also scooped up a Browning A-Bold circa 1986 +/- unfired.  I picked that up a couple of years ago and it's time to shoot it.

to add to what Rastus commented about .22lr for practice...I put about 150 a week through an Advantage Arms .22lr conversion for my G34.... I fitted the .22 slide with a set of Heinie sights similar to what are on the 9mm...the range does not allow drawing from a holster, so I start with muzzle touching the tray... a bunch of years ago a local Sports Authority was going out of business and I bought several cases of UMC for $7 a 500 round brick... slowly working my way through it

Besides my 10/22 I have a Ruger Mark II Target pistol and a 22/45, and a .22LR/.22 Magnum convertible NAA mini-revolver. I think that's all of them.
