I’m seventy. When I was in the fourth grade, my older brother would bring his Remington bolt .22lr rife to school for the rifle team, on the school bus! I carried his ammo: 50 rounds of LR for $.25. I learned to shoot with the peep sight on that rifle. Sadly, my old eyes could not even start to use it now.
Correction, the rifle was a .22 long shooter ... and we shot shorts in it also. It was not an LR shooter.
