Oh my.

This must be the work of my former associate mister Dastardly...and his buddies Dishonest John, Oilcan Harry, and Snidely Whiplash. It's a cartel, actually. How mister D. runs it from The Institute is a mystery. I suppose someone smuggled a cell phone in to him, or he's using our old...uh-oh...almost violated my release agreement that time...but I didn't...and that's the IMPORTANT thing. Close, though.

Who do you think is pulling Bert's strings...and "Kevin"...well...I even hear they've penetrated the Tinfoil industry...

...but back to the Thread...for iron sights up close...even scoped...I like the 8mm Mauser, if one wants to save money, and go surplus. It's a great pounder up close...and I happen to have a few of them. For him, though...a '94 lever action in 30-30 is a natural, easily feedable great choice...lots of fun...and even great for smaller stuff...which...if he's in the woods...and it's swampland too...is a great introduction rifle...and always handy.

I'm about to get one in .357 for general chores...up close stuff...and my friend Paco Kelly has bolstered my expectations about the .357 with heavy bullets...but not for the Poster...who wants a good intro. into "using" rifles. He could consider the Marlin in .35 Rem. too...but the 30-30 should be experienced...and owned.

Then again...I recommend longer range rounds...and heavy bullets...from experience...but you can't go too wrong with an 1894...and after you sell it...you'll miss it.
