    Welcome aboard Happy. The comment about too many guns has to have come from a non enthusiast that doesn't realize the importance of having a gun for every occasion. A man can hardly take a .22 duck shooting nor a shotgun deer stalking. Whoever told you that is misinformed as a man can never have too many.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hey Happy, welcome, no such thing as too many firearms, that's like telling a woman she has too many shoes!

    No you certainly are not. It doesn't matter what you pay for a horse. That amount will be the cheapest part of the whole journey.

    True words , Next comes the truck, then the truck batteries and maintenance ,then the entry fees, then the hard food (Have mentioned I could supply that for less than a buck. Yep lead balloon was how that went down)
    Ha ha all fun it means though my weekends when her in doors competes are like "Free as a free thing "
    End of story thats blimmin priceless. Me and my mate the midget sit around drink beer talk shit and shoot any starling or myna that dares to land within 150 mtrs from us.
    Though lately we have been a bit naughty and use the Howa 1500 223 varmint gun on the botton of beer bottles at 250 mtrs. Glass recycling of course ...

    Yes aside from 270 WSM Possibly my most accuarte gun. We lay 20 beer bottles on 20 posts starting at 250 mtrs and take one shot each
    in a somewhat red neck comp. Time to move them further out. Has LR Scope so drop one dot per 100 mtrs.
    Its too heavy to carry too far but thats why I got it. Hardy suppressor trigger job Howa 1500 Hogue thumbhole stock
    VX 1 3-9 X 50 LR Scope. If its in the sights between 50 to 250 just pull the trigger. Head shoots magpies at 187 mtr furtherest so far.
    .223 is new caliber to me and I love it. Buy Hornady training amm cheap as and it seems to work good. Odd eject failure in HOWA s as steel cases.
    I carry a kitset push rod just in case. Lastly my next project gun will probably be a T3 Lite in this caliber and build it similar for everything from your feet out to 300 or so varmint shooting.
