Re: Longmire - Hollywood Ignorance
Might I suggest the books! Tough to get one of Craig Johnson's story lines into a 45 min script. I like the show, BUT I've read all of the books and REALLY ENJOYED them - everyone.
My wife is puzzled at my laughing out loud going through his books - Johnson's humor just adds to the read!!

The BL-22 seems to be a great lever action 22. I decided I liked it better than either the Marlin or Henry.
