Southern pawn in Brookhaven has .22 bullets.

I have killed a many with a single shot 22 that you had to pull back the firing pin to shoot . Carried the extra bullets in my mouth so i could load it faster so anykind of scope will increase your vision . Can't see good enough to do it anymore . Practiced by shooting hickory nuts off the trees in the yard at 50 yards . So you can do it . Go get them .

weaver vr-7 rimfire is a great scope but it's a 150.00 scope most places . 2x7x28 . Folks get led astray with bigger objective draws more light . It does "but" better quality glass will rule evertime. Jmo.

have you been in grandaddy's liquor cabinet again. I am calling BS ( and i dont mean bass pro shop) This story would be believable if you would have said that yall hit water at 350 yard but i dont buy that you shot turtles that far. A slight breeze would move a 40 or 50 grain bullet several feet at that distance. Now you may get someone else to believe this but aint no boys south of the mason dixon line going to buy this one

Well you know them old guys could shoot . I know a couple that could have ypou flip a dime in the air and hit it nine out of ten times . I always tried to light a match at 50 yards never could but i could hit the stem .

My FIL could shoot a 22, all they used to do on Sunday afternoons. used to shoot thumb tacks on a board at 25 yards or so and get mad if he missed one. Never been a good iron site shot myself, eyes wont focus on the rear and front site at the same time. Shoot a scope on everything but a shot gun, shotgun when turkey hunting. DD I got a ATN you could stick on one of em but the thing weighs as much as one of them rifles, gonna need 30mm rings too.

I guess I went cheap to DD, I bought a weaver camoed mounted for 75 Bux at Walter Craig . Looked at the pro staff for another 200 Bux. Just couldn't do it for a seventeen year old to shoot walnuts...LMBO

DD how many boxes of 500 can you buy over there per person? It says I per person at our local store.
