I was asking Pete if he shot it. Didn't have it very long.

I used to go to Quigley every year.  Missed the last three because of covid.

Occasionally I stopped at Argus' shop going or coming back.  He let me bunk in his shop.  Might have been twenty years ago.  IIRC, this rifle was just finished.  Argus' work is as good as any I have ever seen.

By the bye; I shoot my firearms.  I own one handgun I haven't shot, an Elmer Keith commemorative.  Four single shot rifles still unfired by me, all purchased this year.  I plan to shoot them all before Quigley, but the 1/2" of snow we got last night and my back have put me behind schedule.

I have shot about half of the rifles I bought this year.  I just went out to the country and shot at the tin can litter the hillbillies leave behind.

For those of you who have never had the pleasure of falling and tweaking your back; it is indescribable.  I was in the VA Med Ctr having my appendix out.  The last day there the day shift maintenance guys washed, then waxed the floor.  I get up to visit the men's room, one step and I am on my tailbone screaming.  Four months later, very little improvement.

With a little luck, I will be shooting the benchrest part of the Nationals at Raton.  But, I have to drive 1100 miles to get there.  I will take prayers from any and all denominations.

Just a note for people who may not have seen the shooting program, there will be benchrest matches for record every day, and two bench RF matches on Monday - the usual record match, and a side match during the offhand.

I'm non-denominational but I'll put in a good word for you.

I have major back issues, I get injections every two months. I find that when I have really bad spells that I tend to buy more guns.

Sitting in my recliner with an ice pack fondling one of the collection does ease the pain.  About an hour of that, and I have to get up, and switch the ice pack and rifle.

Right I am jonesing on Ballards.

I hit bottom...

The doctor at my physical therapy center has done acupuncture the last two Mondays.  I think it is working; between that and the other stuff and the Chiropractor I can walk 1/2 mile and ride the exercise bike a mile most weekdays.

thanks for the kind words,

Rich

Yes, I do plan to shoot them all.  My back is slowly getting back to proper spinal alignment.

I posted pictures in the wrong thread.  Re-posted in my own thread.
