That is a nice looking rifle you have there. And it seems to shoot pretty good to boot. Glad it was not damaged by someone else's irresponsible care. That looks like a nice light rifle too.


What goes through someone's head? Someone is kind enough to loan you a valuable piece of sporting goods equipment and you thank them by damaging it.

My experience with loaning was almost as bad. I had a person do that with one of my rifles. It could have been in ruff shape but he called to tell me about a deer he shot at opening day and missed. He missed two others two days later. So we were trying to figure out his problem. I asked him... did you sight it in like I told you to? NO he said, I figure you had it sighted in. Did you even shoot it to see where it hit? I never got around to it, he told me. Then I asked him... did you clean the rifle after you used it opening day? He then had the nerve to snicker and say... I guess I forgot. So when I told him perhaps he better return the rifle the next day, he protested like the devil. So I told him that if he damaged the rifle, he was going to purchase it from me. He did then clean the rifle, never got a shot the rest of the season, and returned it loaded. So I could shoot it off and then clean it. At least he told me it was loaded. I shot it off and it was not damaged. He wanted to borrow it the next year and I told him NO... buy your own.
