Nice
I'm amazed at how accurate this thing is, right out of the box.

yea....the worst thing about them is the long, stiff trigger. if i could get a trigger like my deer rifle....there'd be a lot of noisey critters who'd have a lot more to worry about.

I've got a couple of Daisy rifles. One is from the 80s. The other is just a few years old. The older ones were great. The newer ones are too light in the stock. Not balanced well at all.

I think that is a pretty good price, especially with extras thrown in. I'm no expert though, would research it. They are neat rifles - I'd like to own one.

So I bought the M1 Garand. Here's a quick video of a pop can. Nothing says get off my lawn like a semi auto 30-06

Great rifle, if not a heavy beast...

It's not too bad. I wouldn't want to carry it every day for a year though. Totally badass though. I need to cut out my buddy's laughing at the end.

Yeah, the laughing makes me worry about your buddy's mental health!

Happy New Garrand Day
didn't Clint Eastwood chase bad kids off his lawn with a Garrand, in Gran Torino?

Sweet rifle! Semiauto 30-06 is definitely a beast.

Have you busted your thumb yet in that Garand? 
I've shot a Garand a couple of times. Both of my brothers are big-time military uniform collectors. There is a gun range here near Kalamazoo that usually holds an M1 Garand shoot every year, in January. You have to show up in period-correct uniform though, which thanks to my brothers. I got to do. Twice I shot the Garand, and once I shot the carbine (all provided by the range).
I'm a decent shot. Not great, I'd never win a competition, but I do fairly decently. When you add a GI helmet, canteen, collapsible shovel, knapsacks, ammo pouches, etc etc. it really does make it harder to shoot accurately. I was much more accurate with the carbine quite frankly. It was just so much easier to shoot when loaded down with all that gear.
I did not like having to reload the Garand. I was always worried about it catching my thumb as I loaded the next 8 rounds in it

That's what stripper clips are for. Save the thumbs!

(7.62 NATO and 30-06 are ballistcally very similar)

If you use your hand to hold the bolt back you can't get your thumb whacked.

Here's my latest acquisition
I'm really digging the 327 Federal cartridge. It has a muzzle energy that's nipping at the heels of a 357 mag, but it does it with a faster, lighter projectile so the recoil is pretty manageable even in a small frame revolver. Added bonus; most guns that chamber it hold 1 more round than they would in .38 or .357.
I didn't like the tiny stock grips, but a $13 pair of Hogues solved that.
Edit: come to think of it, I'm pretty sure the Prages household needs a revolver.
