I have loved it ever since. I have had numerous people laugh at it while at the range, then stop when I dusted my targets. One of those people was a Recon Marine who was "teaching" his buddy how to sight in a AR-15 at 100 yds. They quit laughing when I knocked down all my coke cans and then proceeded to pepper the bullseye of their target, ruining it for the "sighting in" that was taking an awfully long time. I then walked off chuckling at their dropped jaws. She is a ugly little monkey, but oh so sweet. And yes...the stories about the originals going "full auto" every so often are true. Every once in awhile she'll do a three round burst. The first time was butt clinching, but now it's fun to watch the faces of folk while out shooting at the farm. Good read, Duke. 22s are the bomb!Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008726043561193992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-59947260965809113992011-08-30T18:04:21.624-04:002011-08-30T18:04:21.624-04:00Thanks Stephen, I will take you up on the coffee.

Very good post and...Duke, the coffee is always hot. Very good post and I very much agree. You and many others have heard me time after time say, "never underestimate a .22." They work. On the deer - I've downed at least four with a .22. Well done. I'm still looking for my AR-7 by the way.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752401490789789451noreply@blogger.com
