I ended up with the one little 4-point buck for the Swamp Dragon to feed Chuck. Didn't see a better buck all season. Didn't take the two does I usually do because of our club's unanimous decision to leave the does alone this year to build up our herd. Numbers were down due to a hard hit in our area by EHD last Spring.

Nice clean up job. I think you'll have some fun with it. I've looked at the H&R a couple different times and it looks like a pretty good design. For $100 I'd say you did the right thing.

Nice looking gun. I know a guy that has one and wouldn't trade it for anything. Sure cleaned up better than I thought it would. Good luck with it!

To answer your Question, even if you really weren't looking for one, I have bought a couple of Traditions inlines with scope packages, new in the box, that have brought the price of the rifle minus the value of the scope, rings and bases, down to just around that much. The Canyon being one of them. I think it was purchased from The Sportsman's Guide. Nice job cleaning that one up. |

considering that the dry-box and assorted goodies that came along with it probably cost more than $50.

Is that a package of Powerbelts I see in the photograph? You can't count them as part of the $50 'cause dey ain't werth nuttin.
JUSY KIDDING! GOOD DEAL! As we were exchanging gun & cash, the seller tells me, "I've killed a few deer with this gun with no problem. But last season I shot a nice buck at only 40 yards. Couldn't see where he ran because of the smoke. We found some blood where he was standing when I shot him. But nothing else, and we never found him. Now this guy had already told me he used the gun only one weekend per year. But I hadn't seen the contents of the dry-box yet. Taking a wild guess I said, "I'll bet you were using three pellets and a Powerbelt, and shot him in the shoulder." His eyes got big and round and he said, "How the hell did you know that?" :s2: |

After reading your opening lines I thought that you were going to make the Swamp Dragon a brother out of it.
Anyway; good deal;looks nice. |
Nice addition Semi, dont forget the Range Report!

Boy I'm missing a lot not being on here as often as I used to. My MLs are collecting dust waiting for this weather to break. Every time I think I am going to get out either something comes up or we get another snow storm. Then the snow melts and turns my shooting area into a mud hole.
