honest rifles
« on: August 30, 2008, 08:24:37 PM »
Today I shot my t/c hawkin that rifle is the only one ive ever owned that shoots right where its supposed to every damned time! its not super accurate but its shoots minute of elk out as far as I am confident with open sights. today I shot it off shooting sticks at about 60 yards, the first 2 were touching the third was about 1/2" higher what more can aman ask for?

Well I guess the next thing I'd ask for is a broadside elk at 60yrds.  ;) That's pretty good shooting w/ open sights. Sounds like a keeper.
