    Default New Food Gathering Device.....

    On sale at the local gun shop with five boxes of 17HMR to have fun with. Scope is a Walmart cheapy but
    I do not plan on shooting 500 yards with it. Took 10 shots to get it sighted in and it is a blast to shoot.
    Many many holes had more than one bullet go through them!

    While 9mm and .22 LR are hard to find here, there is a plethora of 17hmr in all shapes and sizes. The group
    I bought first is traveling at 2,550 fps.....

    I have three 17hmrs, My dads savage, a marlin my wife bought me for Christmas and a Taurus the wife bought me another time. I keep telling my self to simplify, simplify, simplify. It's not working. Now to find time to shoot.
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?
