	I made another trip to CPA yesterday to pick up this beauty for my son to use. I'm looking forward to shooting it this Oct in the Hudson Match at the CSV.

	Gorgeous. The thinness of my wallet prevents such financial transgressions in my case.

	Fortunately for the health of my bank account, CPA is far away and well out of casual visiting range. Looking at pictures is fun, though.

	Bob - Beautiful for sure! Have you given any consideration to ammo selection/testing, etc.? We're both working with new CPA's in 22LR & in 32-CPA and I've found your sharing of test results with the 32-20 most helpful. Many thanks.

	Hey OkeyMaple, I have some Federal match, SK match and CCI standard velocity on hand to test. Rimfire ammo is hard to come by these days so I'll be trying what I have for now. I'll let you know how they work for me. I'm glad my 32-20 test results were helpful. I've gotten so much useful information from others on this site. Bob

	Nice, very nice! Checkering and a gloss finish would really set that rifle off. Joe.

	Thanks Joe! You ain't kidding. I would love to have some nice checkering done sometime in the future. I seen an awesome example of a fine checkering job on another costumers rifle and was wishing it was on mine. Bob

	Nice Rifle !!! I don't know how old your son is but he's very lucky to have a rifle like that. When I was a kid, all I had was an old Marlin bolt action. But it worked fine. Dale.

	Hi Dale, My son is lucky that I'm letting him use it. I've been shooting with my sons since they were old enough to hold a rifle as my father did with me. I recently took them to a Schuetzen match and they both loved it. My oldest has his own highwall to shoot. I got this in lieu of just getting a barrel in 22lr for my Mod 52 so my younger son could participate. I consider myself blessed that we have something we enjoy and could do it together. Bob

	My son did well at the CSV Match last Saturday. He managed a 241 1C with the first ammo we tried. SK standard.

	Bob, your rifle looks as good in the picture as it did standing in the rack. Congratulations! I was at the Shuttleworth's twice in the last week - to and from the Ridgway range. Always make a habit of going into the room on the left and admiring the products of CPA standing in the rack

	I dropped it off at CPA last month to have some checkering done and fit another barrel in 22WCF. I picked it up today and couldn't be happier. Checkering dresses it up nice.

	The checkering really finishes the gun, and adds to the beauty! Looks like their checkerer did a nice job too!

	Rkaires, I thought that might be it. I have a stevens 44 in 22 hornet with a similar weaver scope on it but like the looks of the front objective on yours.
