This is the rifle I got this spring.
I traded the gunsmith an action so be put together a 25-06 Ackley.
26 inch Pac Nor barrel, timney trigger, HS stock B and L scope with a fully blueprinted action.
Had it to the range today and I am getting 3770 fps with an 85 grain ballistic tip.
That's with 65.5 grains of IMR 7977. It's in .257 Weatherby territory.
Prairie dog and coyote gun.
Went and made a payment to the gunsmith today and we plugged it into his calculator. It's shooting flatter to 500 yards than his 6.5 Creedmoor.

I bought a cheap ass .22 pellet rifle. I don't think it will shoot 500 yards. I'm still waiting for Jim to buy that FX Impact so he can tell me how awesome it is.

Ha! I was watching a video about the .357 air rifle in South Africa.
Dang thing had a computer on it!

I just watched a video of some cat using an FX impact .25 for squirrels and sich.
Pretty slick outfit.
I probably dont want to know what it costs.
How do you charge those things up? Paintball shop?

Jim, the Impact is about $1895.00. Plus scope, rings, bipod, dive bottle etc. Paint ball is CO2, so that's only 800 psi. A dive tank is over 4500, so you need to go to a dive shop, or a fire station that charges air packs.

New carry gun... S&W M&P shield 40... Some glowing night optics. Some inside polishing to help the action some. Trigger is factory. Fine as is.

Captain Zero!
Would a fire department let you fill it? Pretty sure ours would not.
Ours is 4000 psi usually, once in a while 4500.

Nice Stephen. On of the Assistant Chiefs at the FD has one of those.
He really likes it.
A couple of things on my list are a Weatherby SA 08 Deluxe 28 guage auto loader, a synthetic 12 guage and a CZ 527 in .17 Hornet.
But, seeing how the wife is all busted up and we have a high deductible it might be a while.
That and I am still making payments on my 25-06.
I could go out and buy 100 guns if I had the cash. Hope that wind farm gets built!

It's actually well behaved for the weight to calibre thing. I still need to pick up another .357. I just acquired one I love, but want a carry as well. I want it with a 3" barrel though. Better behaved with hot rounds.
Couple rifles in mind. Ruger American in .223 is on the list. Just because it is a good excuse for ammo under California's soon to be watchful eye..
Might get a Marlin 30/30 here soon.. Guy I know is thinking about parting with it...
Still want a lever in .357 as well... .44 mag would be nice to carry with my Dragoon in 44. Just stuff. I would like another .380 too... Gosh do I have a list.
Wheels, Levers and Bolts.

I have a Ruger sp-101 .357 that I carry when I go to town Stephen.
Its the distrubitor special with the Novak style rear sight. I like it pretty well.
Just cant get all my fingers on the grip.

Gunsmith tried to lure me into a .38 super today.
Commander length 1911 with a Caspian aluminum frame. It had the Burris fastfire sight inletted into the slide.
I wanted one years ago, nickle plated with ivory grips. He dismissed it as a "pimp's" gun. Now he has one similar.

The SP 101 is the one I am after. I can deal with the grip. Just a matter of either ordering one or making one. Not like I can't find any walnut or something.
Of course my hands are smaller than yours I am sure

This is the one I have. 2.25 inch barrel. As with most Rugers, it is hefty, even with the short barrel. It handles fine with the full house 158 hollow points.
Only gripe I have is the springs are a bit stiff. Might order a Wolff spring package and lighten them up a bit.

I used to have XL hands. Now that the clothing makers are out to screw us, I now have to order 2XL gloves.
Who ever heard of 2XL gloves?

I wear mediums... Yeah, if that a 3"... that would be it.
There is one in town. But I would rather buy it from the other dealer.

I did not think I would like the short barrel, but it fits nicely into my pants pocket.
After my friend was murdered in Missoula I bought the wife a pistol.
It is the LCR revolver with adjustable sights and the 3 inch barrel. .38 special+P.
Thats not a bad revolver either. I thought it was hokey at first, but its actually pretty good.

The LCR is nice, just too light for my taste. I am more accurate with a heavier wheel.
