Title: Which guns.....
Post by: monty690 on August 12, 2018, 06:56:06 PM
do you just really enjoy shooting?
Here's my list, in no particular order. I've got an old Benjamin .22cal pump up pellet gun that I got in about 1987 or so that I enjoy a lot. I sighted it one time, taped the rear sight down and it's still very accurate. I pump it 6 times, every time and it's dead on. My son has it now and it needs a repair kit for the compression system.

I've got a Ruger 10-22 (older model with metal trigger group) with a Hogue overmold stock, Whistlepig aluminum 16 1/2 inch .920 barrel that's a dream shooter. It has a trigger job with about a 2lb pull. You can work the triggers yourself with the older metal groups. It's dead nuts accurate with bulk ammo and an older Tasco 4x12x40.

I've also got a Ruger 77 in .17hmr that I built. It had a boat paddle stock that I had milled out to take a .920, 16 1/2 inch Whistlepig aluminum, fluted barrel. It's got an older Tasco 6x24x50 on top. If the winds not blowing or a piece of grass ???????? between it and the target, it'll be a hit. It took about 4yrs of tinkering off and on to make it a shooter but I couldn't be happier with it. It's got a little less than a 2lb pull.

I also love to shoot a Wrist-Rocket but don't currently have one.

I enjoy shooting any gun that is in my hand at the moment. I have a friend that has a old Taurus .357 K-Frame revolver that I like quite and bit and I can out shoot him with it every time. It is the only gun I can out shoot him with.

Though I don't mind shooting them for some reason I can't shoot a pistol to save my life, I always seem to shoot into the grass way in front of the target but if you put a revolver in my hand I never miss.

My 20 gauge benelli m2.   That gun is sleek, light and efficient.   It is a joy to carry that thing

Sounds like you've done some nice work on some nice guns!!!!  Seems like every time I finish a shoot I look at whatever gun I've used and think to myself "Holy crap I LOVE this gun"
