[QUOTE="Ken Howell, post: 13508, member: 23"] Been a looooooong time, guys -- and it ain't over yet. I promised up-dates but had no suspicion back then what the up-dates would have to report. The Nesika-Richards-HS rifle I described is finally here, with the latest incarnation of the Talbot mount -- and with four scopes (8x Leupold, 12x US Redfield, 24x Sightron, 36x Blount Weaver) instead of three. But I'm not all here anymore. Had a stroke 1 July 2001 that almost killed me, then three surgeries, with forty days in three hospitals and a couple months of home therapy. Both sides are partially paralyzed. Can't swallow anything -- "eat" through a tube sticking out of belly (THE ONLY WAY to eat lutefisk, otherwise the pits). Lost about seventy pounds, mostly but not all excess, from original 204 pounds. After loss of swallow, next-worse is loss of equilibrium -- can "stand" about as steady as a stack of beads with no string, and "walking" looks like an over-acted vaudeville act. In three words, I stagger, fall, and (sometimes) crawl. Some loss of coordination makes typing a bitch (but at least I don't have to have some bitch do my typing for me!). Haven't shot anything but revolvers since the stroke but hope to do some serious p-doggin' come season for 'em. This thing has slowed me down and may kill me, but it won't lick me. I'll let you know -- someday -- how this experiment with several scopes works. If it works. [/QUOTE]
