Two buddys and I went out for an evening hunt on opening day and had a great time. We normally hunt with pistols but this year we took the easy way and used our rifles. My new-to-me Cz Military Trainer turned out to be a great little rabbit rifle. With the range adjustable rear sight there was never any need to hold under or over for shots at different ranges. It was the only rifle that didn't wear a scope, it was also the only rifle that filled its limit, it was the only rifle to take every one of its rabbits with a head shot.......and it aint for sale!!!
Sharps, the rifle that made the west safe for Winchester!
Real tractors have two cylinders and hand clutches.
My rifle is mine, it isn't for sale, and I only give guns to people that I really like.

Thanks. I think that rifle has some kind of good luck mojo or something.

Very nice. I remember seeing the post when you first got it. Sometimes a certain rifle and a person were just made for each other, and think you hit that match

Way to go . Good shooting.
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

Yeah, I tried popping them. It worked but on most of them I couldn't get it to do that quick, explosive POP that ejected the guts. Usually it was more of a squish than a POP.

Super nice bunch of bunnies for the pot. I guess you showed what an older open sighted gun can do if it is in the right hands. Good job.
