Title: Bullseye
Post by: Jack_F on January 26, 2012, 07:45:26 PM
I'm thinking about shooting Bullseye again after a 35 years. What 22RL guns are currently being used. I sold all mine years ago.....Smith 41, Victor, and various High Standards. :'(

I guess I may have to use a red dot if I want to hit the target now. :'(

Go for it, Jack; nothing like the present!    :)

Everytime I think of the guns I sold over the year I want to cry. :'( .....  I'm sure you have done the same.......think I'll break out the Scotch and review the gun porn ;D

Selling guns is one regret I don't have because, with rare exceptions, if I wanted them in the first place they are still there.

I've sold three in my time and regretted each one; however, that was in the early years.    :)

I have never sold a gun I ever owned. The only guns I ever owned but no longer possess were sold by my ex-wife during a time when I was on assignment overseas.

I was the plaintiff in my divorce from that woman.

By some divine grace and intervention, I am now married to the woman for whom I was searching from the age when I first knew for what I was searching.

My apologies for drifting your thread, Jack, and good luck with Bullseye!   8)

Richard S has seen this one before, but seems appropriate to this hi-jacked thread...

I've got a "new" Model 41.  It's got less than 3000 rounds through it but it has been 100% perfect.  No hiccups.  It's only seen CCI Standard Velocity and it's been so reliable, and accurate, that I don't ever feed it anything else.

Now, having said that, I shoot my Browning Buck Mark just as well, and find it to be every bit as accurate, and reliable, as the Model 41 and it's a heck of a lot less expensive.  So, if you want something just to get you back in the game, to see if you'll continue, without spending a lot of $, I'd opt for a Browning Buck Mark or Ruger Mark III.  (I'm a Browning guy.)   ;)

A photograph such as that should not be described as a "hijack" but as an enhancement.   8)
