My son lives in PA, but gets up to visit a few times a year. Last August he arrived, & I helped him unload the truck, bringing in his duffel, gun case, & misc. stuff. After settling in, he plunked a wrapped present on the kitchen table.
"What’s this?"
"Just a late Father’s day gift I had forgotten last trip."
Okay. I open the gift & contained therein was a 20 round box of Remington 170 grain cartridges in .30-30.
"Well, I always like to get ammo, but I don’t have a .30-30."
"You do now…"

Gotta love that kid…

Hoo, boy, that's a right purty rifle...
How does she shoot?
It IS purty, thanks.
Seems it was already sighted in for 50 yeards, which is where I like it for around here.
Three shots at ~1.5" @ 50 w/those very same Remington 170 gr rounds.
(Off my bench, w/a rest)
I'm good w/that.
That one's a keeper.
So's the gun.
Aah...at last.
Dang that's nice.
