Ain’t no school like the old school

Not really. I used to hunt antelope every year, now its every third year. So IF I draw a tag, I'm pretty excited to take the Sendero out.

A package showed up today. Retro this year. I haven’t shot the .243 since I took my daughter elk hunting in WY years ago. I think I’ll give it a workout this year.

Beautiful rifle. On a side note I don’t see any of your spoons in Red and Gold. That was my secret weapon for silvers on the Penninsula, have fun.

Awesome rifle, where’d you snag that from?

It’s a fun story. My grandpa gave me a Winchester M62 many years ago. I didn’t shoot it at all because it was chambered in .22 WMR and ammo was very hard to find.

A friend heard me mention it one day and asked what I wanted for it. Not for sale I told him. This went on for months. One day I came into the office and this pre 64 was on my desk as a trade offering, and one I couldn’t turn down.

I’m going to try Nosler 95 grain ballistic tips.

Sweet, I'll be curious to hear what you think of them. I think those would be my first choice if I was to pick up a 6 mm
