WFAA-TV said the shooting involved a .227 caliber rifle.

Pretty impressive shooting from a 100-year-old lever action rifle.

Shooting 20 people with a rifle that only holds 7 rounds in the magazine.

The only rifle ever chambered in 0.227 I can find is the Savage Hi-Power introduced 1912.

Reporters entirely ignorant in firearms shouldn’t be writing about shootings.

Yup, I found the same information. Just another ignorant “reporter” was My call as well.

But it was a SCARY BLACK tube with handgrips and a huge telescope so it can be used to shoot down the Moon.

“You gonna use a .227?”

“.227, .228. Whatever it takes.”

I'm sure it was a Webley-Vickers 50.80.

Definitely Quigley shots.

you are correct, so they shot them all with a Savage 99 from the early 1900’s?
