    Nice pair . . .

    Went to the Dawn service, home for brekky and what to do till family arrive on such a glorious Douthland morning?

    Well heading to the range to sight in the 22-250 after I swapped out scopes on it (to a Vixen 3-12×40 that @nor-west kindly lent me)! Grabbed the 223 to continue my experiments in the effects of "hold on its POI.

    I had the range to myself, the rifled were shooting better than me so it didn't take long.

    Back home here I was just thinking how blessed lucky we are here (sitting in the sun) and tge thought struck me how similar the rifles I'd shot this morning are.

    They are both very slim, light in a definite "european" way that yanks never seem to get quite right.

    Schultz and Larsen "Legacy" in 223, Weatherby "Varmintmaster" 22-250. Both glorious to carry and shoot.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
