Good choice of rifles for the kitty. Winchester Model 70, small bore (.22LR) Bull Barrel, with bipod.

Drives nails at great distance, that one. Doesn't kick. :-)


Actually.....(see the itty-bitty little note down to the right of the bipod of the rifle :-), it's a Model 98 Mauser custom, built for light class 1000 yard competition. It's chambered for the .30-06 Springfield. Because it weighs approx 14 lbs, it doesn't kick much.

I can only drive nails at about 300 yards. At 525 yards, a 5 shot group spreads WAY out to a full 3/8". :-)

It's a joy to shoot though. :-)

That's a 30-06? Dang... it looks smaller than that. The model 70 was a blind guess. From this angle they all look the same.
