Afternoon Win Mag - nice targets, the 10-22 is a capable platform that can and as seen here will turn in some impressive results. Nicely done. Couple of clicks and she’ll be dead center.

The CZ is true old world excellence. ‘Seriesly’ nice rifle. The milled trigger guard should set it off. I guess there are claw foot mounts in your rifle’s future. Aesthics do count.

The CZ is true old world excellence.

While I was looking over my CZ, the guy behind the counter was handling the matching CZ455 in 22WMR. He said, "just handling one of these takes you back instantly to an era where you'd say, 'I say, old chap, why don't we nick on down to South Africa and give those Boers a bit of what-for. Then we can do a spot of hunting. Scotland just gets more prosaic every year.'".

And the most fateful part of this story was that I missed out going to the range yesterday, as I had planned. I would have missed all of this if I went there yesterday. Today, it was like hitting the lottery bigtime. I thought about buying some lottery tickets, but realized I already had several months worth of good luck, and was not going to impose on fate, or St Barbara, patron of guns and gunsmiths, any more.

I just remembered, there was even more to my adventures that day. I stopped off for a few grocery items at the local Meijer's, our regional version of Wallyworld, before going to the EBR store. When I swiped my debit card through the automated checkout, I was rewarded with several in-store coupons. Along with ho-hum coupons, there was one for $4 off the next shopping trip, and another for $4.50 off. Plus, someone left another set of the same coupons on top of the inkjet printer, probably as something not worth bothering about. So I get $17 off for shopping there before the end of April.

I thought that was a pleasant surprise. I guess I didn't realize what an omen of good fortune it was. The incident got lost in the rest of my tale until I used one of those coupons today.
