The Czickness LIII….CZing into the summer with friends near and far.

Frustrating - no doubt. But - this is not indicative of the general experiences with CGW. The Wizard has an excellent working relationship with them and they will get this sorted out!

Which is why I’m only mildly annoyed, considering it’s not the Wizard’s fault and realistically just a freak accident by CGW. It’ll get squared away no doubt. I’ll be having a good laugh about all this once it’s over with!

Anyways, morning everyone!

Glad you're overall OK.

There are 2 types of people on motorcycles. Those who have gone down, and those who will go down.

Heal up. Fix the bike. Get back on it.

I was told years ago by fixed gear heads that there are those who have landed gear up and those that will. Got in and out of that and never landed gear up so I must have just been lucky.

Don't forget Roy Weatherby.

Still have this one, of German vintage.

Man, nothing like a nice walk in the sunshine, followed by a cold shower to get the blood flowing

That’s a beauty. To me, epitomizes the post WWII bolt action American rifle.*




* made in Japan or Germany. lol

No, that's a 300. Early on during my time in the gun business I bought an entire estate collection by borrowing money on a 90 day note. It had a number of Weatherby rifles, Sako deluxe, and Browning T series pistols, all 1960s stuff. Kept a few guns sold or traded all the rest and retired the note. Lived with an unhappy gardener for a while who did not like my borrowing a bunch of cash without telling her, we had not been married long and were expecting out first. She got over it as things worked out as I had planned.

It is a beautiful day to be in the farm! Left my house in the dark, watched the sun come up on the drive here and it just does not get better than this on a fall day in Indiana

It really is a beautiful day in the neighborhood, Norm.

I can see where your trigger issue would be frustrating, SR.
The Wizard will get it straightened out, and happiness will be yours !

It actually seems like my eye is a little better today. It's the first day that I'm encouraged it's possible for it to improve.
Still don't feel safe driving, but I took a one mile walk tonight.

I'm happy to hear that things are looking better from the eye MM. We can't have photographers that can't see, now, can we?

Well….in all fairness, I was focusing on autoloaders. I didn’t want to exaggerate any but, no doubt, Roy drew inspiration from them. I can almost hear Roy saying “Live is too short to have sh!||¥ wood used in a stock”.

Today is Alex Robinson and Eugene Stoner day, we dug deep to pull two of these out to shoot today.
A Rock River Government.

A Robinson Armament M96 Expeditionary 20" rifle and I have the 16" barrel at home.

A Knights Armament Stoner SR 25 carrying like the rifle a middle 90's MK 4 Leupold.
