the old 22

[C.O.B.]

We tend to forget about the .22's as we chase game with feathers and antlers or go off after clay targets.

My first .22 was a Remington M572 pump. This was also my little brothers first gun both of which rest in the safe. I sold the Rem once for a Browning sweet 16 when I was in high school. I lamented the deal and Grandma gave me the money to buy the Rem back.

I have a Kimber "S" series high grade .22 I bought for tree rats but seldom go hunting for them any more either. I also figured I'd practice my deer stalking with it on rabbitts but that didn't happen either. Now for some unknown reason I have an itch for a tricked out Ruger 10/22 with a stainless fluted bull bbl, Houge overmold stock etc. I have an old Weaver 6X scope with a target dot and figure this rig would be ideal for Prarie Dogs under 100yds...but there I go thinking again.
