I hate this time of year.......So, lets go shopping, what should we buy?? My short list

1. Super Black Eagle 3
2. Barret Filedcraft, lightweight, bolt gun, 6.5 Creedmoor

I would have to sell my SBE 2 (THE MEAT STICK) or Pre 64 Model 70 lightweight or my Dan Wesson Specialist to fund. This is not a For Sale post , I'm just bored and trying to liven up the THF during the Dog Days

Don't waste your $$$ on new toys, show the dove and quail and ducks you are a real sport. I think this is the year I sell my Grandfather's Winchester 42.

A Kidd Supergrade 22.

A+ in fun column, pleasant as punch to shoot, cheap and easy to feed.

Built in Texas too.

100 yard target with a 10x scope.

A 22 at 100 yards is comparable to a 308 at 400 in terms of elevation and wind, so good practice for a modest price.

Not the world's greatest shooting on my part, but the rifle sure puts them to the point of aim.

Bottom line, it really is a lot of fun.

I wouldn't sell a perfect SBE2 to replace it with a SBE3.

Maybe that will help narrow it down?

My family is on vacation and I’m alone for the next 3 weeks. I had line up a bunch of new toys and was planning to go shooting several times a week…..But it’s a little too hot…even for an enthusiast like me! I’ll still suck it up and go shoot…but I’ll suffer!

Next time I’ll have to send the family on vacation according to my shooting calendar instead of the school’s!

I made an impulse buy on a new toy to play with.
Got to shoot it in a Vintage match last weekend as matter of fact. Took this picture at the beginning of the match

Different direction, but how about a Giraud trimmer or Annealing Made Perfect annealer?

The Giraud trimmer is one of the best expenditures I've ever made.

I have the Giraud trimmer. I really don't shoot enough rounds to justify either but the dang trimmer is just so dam easy. No more tendonitis in my thumb from my old bench mounted Forester.

I was lucky, I bought my trimmer before the price went so high

Dont sell your baby!!!! That is sacreligious! You cant sell that 1911 either. How else are you going to protect yourself against armed liberals trying to take over our govt.
