I would like a Savage 93 in 22 mag or if they would make the A22 with a heavy barrel like they did with the 17. I also have a thing for single shot rifles from muzzle loaders to bolt, falling block, break, and trapdoor. Target shooting with them is fun and hunting with them seems to sharpen my focus knowing a second shot is likely not and option.

 My first gun was a used Stevens bolt action single shot that I got when I was 8. I packed it everywhere I could and we accounted for a lot of small game and predators before we left Texas six years later. My cousin and I even played golf at the Country Club with the Stevens in with my mismatched set of clubs and his 410 single shot in his bag. There were also bows and more arrows than clubs. He was 3 days younger than me and we camped, hunted, and fished pretty much untethered from grade school through junior high.

My first gun was a 410 bolt action held three in the mag and one in the chamber don't remember the brand the cost was like $34.99 The gun was stolen by a so called friend who still owes me $40.00 on the $100.00 I loaned him 40 plus years ago, I'm sure there's a saying for friends like that,

I haven't had a chance to target practice in a long time. Hopeing it's like riding a bike.   

My first gun was an Ithica M-49 (S-L-LR) lever action single shot Dad picked it up second hand and give it to me for my 8th birthday. It was dead nuts acurate too. It was a safe little rifle to teach good habits, and one shot at a time, my aim got good. Shot it so much I flattend out the firing pin, (fire about 1 in 4 shells).

About 10 yrs ago I got brave and tore it down, pulled pin and hammered it back out on the anvil. I touched it back up with a file, it works great again😁 I did somewhere thru the yrs manage to lose the rear sight step ramp. Guess I should make a new one. Too bad in the future I will lose it in a boating accedent😉

I bought that Savage from Bud Rusk at his second hand store for $10.  Bud was an old cowboy and had a relative who died in the Alamo and had a county named for him. I blew it up just before we left Texas trying to make a muzzle loader out of it.  :o I have my wife's grandfather's Remington 22 pump. You can drop a long rifle down the muzzle until it catches on the rim but it still groups in 3" at 25 yards. I love 22 rifles, some are tack drivers.

If you look on eBay you may find the sight ramp you need. They still sell gun parts. Everything but receivers.

Enough snow melted that I finally took a walk out to my range today.  Walked up on two deer ... all of my props are looking great.   Just need to run new nylon drive line for my moving target and place my newly fabricated metal backstop into position.

We were informed today that a hearing we can not attend will take place on this bill tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM. This bill covers a lot of territory from adding power of law to signs, loss of rights and firearms for not seeing a sign. outlaw private modification of firearms, outlawing some gun parts and partial receivers.
It will be passed probably with no input from Republican legislators or the public. By 9:00 Am tomorrow thousands of Nevadans will be criminals.

Nevada has 17 counties 15 & 1/2 of them would not support this but with election fraud for the last 20 ears Democrats have stolen the Nevada Government.

Mine are in the basement but I don't he'll be able to pack them out.  :) Darn Trump, the Dems inherited a country where the stairs had just gone to hell.
