[QUOTE="cvixx, post: 2336514, member: 51421"] A while ago I posted about the overpopulated, and protected, and later dearth, of dogs in S Utah. Got to thinking, if anyone knows a good area within 150 miles or so of Cedar City, please let me know or post where it is! I have a Winchester 70, post 64, with a heavy 243 barrel that really needs to get out.. A real SWAT rifle, believe it or not. I worked LAPD and after probation we were rotated to various non-patrol assignments. I got to work the jail. One day I noticed an ad for this rifle posted on a board. Bought it and was talking to the seller (this was in 1976). He was a SWAT officer and when SWAT started, in LA, they used their own rifles. In the mid-70s, the Department wanted uniformity, so purchased .308s. No longer needing the .243 he sold it. Used it at the SLA shootout, he did. I know, buy the gun, not the story, but I know he worked SWAT, so there it is. these early varmint rifles were set up with a twit’s rate for lightweight bullets, so a prairie dog would be an ideal target…but I need a place to shoot!
