I'm betting there will be a lot of Ruger 10/22 and other .22s but just curious what you guys tote around for just in case? ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

I've got a 10/22 'Sporter' that I bought when I was 15, 43 years ago, wow. It gets lots of the chipmunks with birds-hot. Keep an Anschutz model 54M sporter for varmints out the window of the house. Those guns were imported by Savage back in the 70's. |

Scoped Ruger American rifle .22LR, for varmints. Don't "carry" it around, but it's almost always nearby. There's plenty of more powerful tools here, if needed... |

Depends on what I'm doing but my number 1 choice in the saddle is my 45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk and if on foot, tractor or 4 wheeler my go to is a Spingfield XD in 9 mm. In the truck lives its own arsenal and I keep a shotgun at the ready for racoons and what not on the porch. |

| I only listed my Truck or general carry on the tractor guns, do have favored others for other duty. An LR308, and a Ruger M77 bolt in .243. Best varmint tappers in my livery. Took out two Black Vultures with the .243 at rough 300 yds. |

WOW, Thad,,,sounds as if you might like the sporterized wildcat cartridges like me and many many others here, I'm sure!!,,,,!! My favorite little wildcat is a .257 Roberts Improved on the long Enfield action ,,3300 FPS and deadly serious out to 400 yards. I also have a Browning BAR II Safari in 7 MM magnum with an original Redfield Widefield 4X12 and is the most beautiful gun I've ever acquired. Only been fired 10-15 times altho I now have to order a new main spring as my son left the bolt pulled back and then put it in the secret place and has been like that til I did an inventory recently,,Grrrrr,,,,  The "Meat In The Pot" is my Ruger M77 also in 7MM Magnum, Serves quite well on Deer and Elk WAY,,,,out there,,,!!

I have an H&R pre New England single shot on n 22 Hornet that I’m quite fond of. Now this past year I inherited a Ruger m77 in 22 Hornet. It needs a new optic and a but plate. Fortunately I received it before the stock was shortened. |

17HMR is a sweet little round. 338 has a bit more push, but not bad at all. Significantly less than a Windrunner... but the shoulder plate is much more pleasant than a Mosin... Thad- if a stock is too short, turn that into an opportunity to trim the stock back a little more, and then install an adjustable buttplate and pad system. There's plenty, do a search for Graco for an example. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |
