Not me.

I sold a rifle and ordered another, a rifle I can shoot at indoor and
outdoor ranges, and that doesn't have a corroded, pock-marked barrel,
bad sights, and is overweight.

Sadly, it is not a cherry Swedish Mauser. That search continues.


Hee, hee. I've not found an indoor range yet in which I cannot shoot the Mosin
Nagant. Apparently you didn't get a good look at the pictures I posted - beautiful
barrel, very nice scope, and the normal sights.

If I were you, I'd think it was overweight also. You have a lot of experience with
extra pounds.


Perhaps you can find someone who can aim and shoot it for you so the
target gets hit.


You've seen my targets? Or is this, p'haps, just more of your 'Arry****e?

I like to stand and shoot, and therefore I like rifles no heavier than
about 7.5 pounds, loaded. My AR is a hair past that, but it's ok.


Like I said, 'Arry, if I were you, that extra pound and a half would be an enormous
burden. But, I don't carry the extra pounds you do.
