A new rifle for lazy days of plinking fun.

    I ordered the Henry Goldenboy for my Dad today.  Unfortunately they are running about a 8 week back order due to Sandy.
Still going to be well worth the wait.

     I decided to get a little plinker for myself too.  I wanted something fun so I ended up getting one of these.

     It is made by Walther and apparently is a good shooter right out of the box.  Plus I like 25 round mags, who wants to reload all
the time

     I just cannot believe you haven't "trained" your 12 year old to do fall cleanup  yet

20 minute drive.... Nice big open range out in the pine barrens. I used to live within a mile... Moved to a quieter neighborhood.

I think I'm probably kind of spoiled when it comes to having a range nearby 

The (50ft) rifle range borders my backyard, the archery range with target butts at 10yds through 50yds is on the far side of the rifle range, and the shotgun range is on the other end of the archery range.  Since the archery range has a berm I can also use that as a rifle range and can stretch things out to about 125 yards during the off-season...  Since I primarily want to shoot off hand and muzzle loaders, that's plenty. 

I'm the Ranger at a 400 acre Boy Scout camp, so have quite the "back yard".  The camp runs for a 9 week period in the summer and has a few Scout troops that use it for a weekend here and there in the winter, but is otherwise empty...

We have frontage on two lakes too; one is used for swimming (about 1000ft of footage on a 133 acre lake) and the other is used for boating (about 1/3 of the shoreline on a 51 acre lake).  Both lakes are primarily LM bass and panfish (bluegill, pumpkinseed, and crappie) lakes, with an occasional walleye or northern added to the mix.  And if I want to fish, I have my choice of anything from a canoe to a 28ft pontoon (or can take my personal boat elsewhere).  Ice fishing is handy too because I have a boathouse right on the lake to store my stuff in.

Of course, if I want to shoot longer ranges I can drive to several within 20 minutes.
