Finally have a completed rifle in my safe!

Not an uncommon occurrence for some of you guys that are a bit more ambitious, but rare for me.

As of today, I have a complete rifle in my safe, with sights, adjusted and ready to use.  I completed one of my Ballards, test fired, adjusted and zeroed the sights.  It's minute of grouse head accurate, so I'm happy!

Nice target and a nice Ballard rifle. What caliber is it?

Looks like a perfect 22BPCR rifle.  Always a blast knocking down targets.

Without knowing how long the project was in the making I have to say, that dosen't matter, looks worth the wait. A beautiful Ballard, I am sure it will offer much enjoyment for a long time to come.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!
