I think CDNN sell the banana clips:humm:

I've seen people get their lips & nose busted by one of those:humm:

That's why you hold it hip level and not infront of your face

My first was actually 2. A 1984-ish Marlin Model 60 .22 and a 1965-ish Remington 870 Wingmaster.
No pic of the .22 when I got it but it was just the same as the first pic except no scope and it was blued. Then I painted it camo this last summer. The 870 I found under the seat of my dad's 73 F350 and he didn't even remember he had it. It had no buttstock on it when I found it and the original wood foregrip. I picked up the Blackhawk Knoxx stock for it because I thought it would be cool. I like shooting my buddys guns with the factory stock better. I'll be switching it out as soon as I sell it. I've been wanting to build it for more of a tactical/home defense role rather than a hunting gun.

My brother bought a Mossy 500 with the pistol grip and I don't have any problem aiming it. You just have to make sure you have it out a ways from your face or center it on your body and "point shoot" it.

This is my first gun. It was a beast when I was 6!!!! :rocking: I was the most feared sniper of birds and squirrels in all the land!!!

P.S. Sorry if the image is small, it's from google as I no longer posses said sniper rifle!

Much appreciated! :tu:

Still my primary deer rifle, nothing like old school iron sights :hellox:

Yes Sir! It's all good and well to have lasers and telescopic sights etc, but having a good eye is always an advantage when shooting IMHO. :tu:

Nope, don't mind the pic.:jump:

Hope she didn't pull the trigger with her body position like that though. :humm: Gonna fall in the pond like that. :scare2:

I took this pic about a minute before she was actually ready to shoot, I had to put my phone down to ready her up and pull the cord to throw the skeet. She actually impressed me and hit about 8 out of 15 with me ol 12 gauge

Mine is a Savage Model 6D 22 long rifle. One hell of a gun killed many birds, squirrels, and rabbits with her. I will get a pic up later.
