Shooting The New Christmas Present
I found this gun at Christmas time and decided to buy it. It is a real nice original 1886 Deluxe 45-70 There were plenty of rocks to sight it in on out to and beyond 100 yards. I didn't have to adjust the sights at all, I just shot the gun as it came, no disappointments...

That's a beautiful rifle. I often wonder if my ancestors ever shot their rifles on paper. We have so much prickly pear.

Nice rifle involved in one of my favorite sports, rock shooting.
It is not the critic who counts
