Too bad you didn't have the other stock. Its a pre-war magna with the machined disc inside and the large medallions. PM me if it is up for sale? Larry

Default Shooting!

Well Fellers and Gals,
What with another 55° day in Kansas, there was nothing better to do than shoot a couple targets with the Outdoorsman! Great fun, as usual! It always is with this old shooter!

Sadly, after shooting both the Outdoorsman and the Rusty 15-3 yesterday, I almost prefer the 15 over the OD? The little bitty sights on the OD are not good compared to the 15. I shot the same loads in both. No doubt it would probably be better for someone with younger eyes? I still like my OD but I guess this is the first time I compared the sights closely?
