I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa, not kicking and screaming like his passengers.

If it were mine I'd get some Hornady Lever Revolution ammo and see if I could wack a hog or two.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

Very nice clean looking rifle. Back when Men were Men and Rifles were Remington, Winchester or Browning.

What a nice weapon. It's the same one and caliber that whacked Clyde Barrow. Simply beautiful. They even made 15 and 20 round fixed and detachable magazines for after market.

Dang nice! Jealous is an understatement. Don’t forget to let us know how she shoots. Did I say how nice she is?

It shot great, didn't get to try it for accuracy because the range was packed, but no malfunctions. That steel torso didn't know what hit it.
