When you want to go hunting T-Rex, swing past my place and I will loan you something.
Yep. Initially I was going to get the .22, then a .223, based on cost of ammo and a very popular calibre. That was before I found it was not really up to deer hunting A big learning issue; you guys have so much accumulated knowledge. Anyway, I think the 6.5CM should cover my needs / desires. I have other interests (downfalls ), mountain bikes and motorbikes. And I want a handgun or two - revolver or auto? 9mm or .357? No, kidding, not real questions....yet And I'll shoot T-Rex's puny little hands off
