[QUOTE="Snowyone, post: 512151, member: 25800"] In my youth(late 60s/early 70s) I owned one gun so it was used for everything from gophers to elk. My folks bought me a Ruger Blackhawk in 45LC 7 1/2"(I'm sure my Dad was trying to preserve his gun cabinet) while I was in High School. Made my own grips and tuned the trigger all by myself. Did all my own reloading and if I may brag I could shoot that gun. Now I have a two safes full of from mundane to exotic and hardly shoot anymore and am lucky to hit the backdrop at the range. Back to story of long range shot. Had a job feeding cows and loading up hay wagons while in HS. Owner liked to watch me work while he found things to do while I humped bales. I had both trucks loaded and we were heading home when Whyle Cyotee presented himself in the next field. I stoped and set up for the shot over the fender and Fred comes up and says noway. Boom, a walked off 257 yards, Me strutting, Fred shaking his head. That gun has taken 7 head I of elk, lots of grouse, and all kinda of vermin and would you believe I got talked out of it. I'm an idiot. [/QUOTE]
