    '78 K20 w/ a 4spd. Can fix anything on it with a 9/16 or a hammer.... and a MIG welder. The other five Chevy/GMCs are all automatics so the 78 is my favorite. Cut my teeth on a 72 SS El Camino

    The 221 Fireball is an addictive little cartridge. Reloder7 and Nosler 40gr BTs served me well. The NOE/RCBS .22 055 SP with the starting load of H335 from Hodgdon was sub MOA. Funny now, Lapua,...

    For a handgun, MAYBE. Can't imagine that for a rifle. I've been to a gun shop with the used ones in a rack in the corner. You could fondle them all day without a salesperson even saying "Hi" to you.
