I have been busy trying to keep up with work, reports and draft programs - and maintain a position of being in charge of my life at the same time. Good news, the homes on both sides of mine have been sold and they will be moving in before August arrives, my wife tells me we will have to start watering the grass. I have been being tugged into temptations of buying a military rifle, but I don't go running down to the local gun shops to shop, didn't I tell you that I have been busy? I have been, while resisting the urge to go buy, thinking of getting the rifles out and shooting them instead of the pistols. So I re-read Jeff Cooper and prepare to read Wayne Van Zwoll for more guidance. But in the end Bill Mauger will be the one talking me through each shot, like we were again in the high school gym firing target rifles, with slings and shooting jackets at target too tiny to tell. One shot at a time. Back when one could get an education, a broad education, in school.

Watered grass grows, then has to be mowed and cared for, which leaves little money left for military style rifles and shooting.
DO. NOT. WATER. THE. GRASS.
Consider the world of Mil-surp rifles. You might acquire four bolt action military rifles from the WWII era for the same cost as one modern semi auto 'black' rifle.
I own both types, and in my judgment the old Mauser's are more enjoyable to shoot. I also had the fun of rebuilding and restoring them, with all the education that entailed.
Choices! Makes life interesting!
