Just picked up that lightweight takedown .22 with the aftermarket stock. Perfect for my emergency kit, exactly what I needed.Finally got that heavy-barreled bolt-action in 6.5 Creedmoor, The action is smoother than anything I’ve felt, Can't wait to stretch its legs.That classic sporter with the gorgeous walnut stock spoke to me. Some rifles just have soul, Had to give it a new home.Built a reliable rifle on a tight budget using your parts bin and some basic components. Shoots great and the snobs can scoff all they want.Built a reliable rifle on a tight budget using your parts bin and some basic components. Shoots great and the snobs can scoff all they want.Came for ammo, left with a foldable carbine that shares mags with my pistol. Genius design for a truck or bag gun.Saved all my money from mowing lawns for my first semi-auto. The guys made it a really cool experience. Proud owner now.Bought a barreled action for a common bolt gun. Time to bed it in a custom stock and build my own precision rifle in the garage.
