My Favorite Prairie dog rifle

17 HMR out to 150 until the Wy wind picks up. Sometimes only a couple of hours of shooting.

Ha ha.. I live in Wy. Shooting with wind is a way of life here.

I shoot in North Dakota, and pretty breezy up here too. That's why I use the portable/swivel bench. Shoot into the wind or with it. Just keep moving perpendicular to the wind direction, and you can shoot that 17 HMR all day. If you're accurate out to 150 yards, you can cover 300 yards at a time.

I have an old Savage single shot, solid bottom target action rifle, long action in .223 set up as a switch barrel multi caliber test mule from way back when. Multiple bolt heads and bolts.

Then I built an Origin short action in .223 and set up the headspace to match the old Savage so I have a pair.
Seriously looking at building a .20P.
