The new toy
« on: January 01, 2010, 09:31:33 AM »
Finally settled on a .22 pistol. I have been very patient looking for good  deals. I guess patience pays off. :)

Very nice!  Should be a shooter, for sure.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Cool.  I learned to shoot on one of those.  Where'd you pick it up?

I bought a few things from an older gentleman. He asked if I might be interested in a .22 pistol. It was built in 1980, and has had 10 shell (one clip) shot through it. Not a scratch on her.

With such low mileage on this thing. Should I shoot the value out of it? Or try to trade it for a Ruger mkIII?

It's a great gun but not NIB, shoot a few more rounds from it and see if you like, it won't detract from the value.  If you like it and arn't hard up for the money where you'll make a few bucks on a trade KEEP IT and enjoy shooting a fine gun.  Remember even though they shoot well a Ruger is just a couple of stamped out chunks of metal with a pipe wedged on the top.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

 :)I may kick myself for saying this but trading that Histandard for a Ruger is like trading a BMW for a KIA.

Well,
After putting a few clips through it. I can tell you. This gun is going to stick around here for a long time.
This thing is the best shooting .22 I've ever had.

I can't believe how accurately it shoots. Nicely balanced, and weighted.
With the price I paid for it I can't go wrong.

Wow Bofire, harsh words!   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I would think the Ruger would at least compare to say a Mustang, but a KIA?  Ouch!   :chuckle:
