[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1708419, member: 68421"] I'd be embarrassed to tell [I]any[/I]one how many guns I've got. My wife helped me inventory them and I [I]still[/I] don't know. Special purpose guns from "Heffalumps" & Grizz to flies, to mere points that lie hidden 'neath a crosshair on the paper. But the go-to grabbit-gun is a J.C.Higgins Husqvarna lightweight HVA (Small-ring mouser[sic]) in '06. Pencil barrel with [I]no danmed brake[/I]. Wears an ancient Leupold. Cost $300, still worth $200, wouldn't take $800, 'cuz no, it just ain't for sale. Plenty of nicks and fence or rock-cuts. Patina. Plain factory stock with a nice thick hacksaw & epoxy'd sissy-pad off an old trap-gun. Soft kicker. If that won't kill it, it don't need killin'. Next to it is Pop's old 1st year M70 with an old Weaver, side mounted, similarly abused. But the li'l Husky-Higgins is easier to carry. Cheap too. If anybody's got a spare '06 barrel, I'm lookin' to make a 35 Whelan for it. [/QUOTE]
