Those old K-22's are superb.

Bought this one new in 1986. I have other 22lr handguns but this one is my favorite.

Very nice!! K-22? Also, is the critter on the right a gray fox?

Yes you're correct.

Yes K-22 model 17 masterpiece in 8 3/8" barrel with target hammer, target sights, target grips (I changed the grips). I still have the original box with paperwork and cleaning rod. Perfect balance when shooting standing free-handed.

Gray foxes around here are strictly nocturnal.

Gray foxes around here are strictly nocturnal.

Caught those during trapping season. Dispatched them with my K-22.
I've seen several foxes during the day, mostly mornings, chasing a rabbit during hunting season.

Red foxes are making a comeback here. I've only seen a few grays at night, so I have no idea how common they are.

Really common in my neck of the woods. Trapping isn't common in my area anymore due to low pelt prices.

Plenty of Reds here but haven't ever seen a gray.
Coyotes are getting annoying.

Annoying and smart. Now that the hay has grown up, the little bastards know I can't see them and run through my fields quite a bit. The .257 is ready for them, and soon a 6.5 will join it on the flight line.

I can't narrow down to 3 yet. But I received a new Sig Sauer P320 sub compact for concealed carry from my sons for Father's day. Anyone have a good word on it?
Wondering?

264 mag works pretty good too. Tested a handload that day:
1" - 500 yds 2-shot group
2.25" - 638 yds

You da man!!

My best friend has one. It works just as well as my Glock 26 and has a much better trigger pull.

As I understand it, Sig has come out with a revised trigger mechanism for the 320 which is supposed to reduce the already small chance of going bang if it is dropped. It is not a recall, but Sig will install the new parts upon customer request. You may want to find out if your pistol is affected by it, I have read that turnaround is very fast and Sig pays shipping both ways.

What kind of rifle ya got there? I take it that is not a factory barrel?

Action is from a late 1960's savage left-hand rifle. Stock is a Mcmillan HTG in woodland camo color. Barrel is a 26" #8 contour Krieger with a 1:8.5 twist. Bullets in that load were Berger hybrids in 140gr. The 140gr. berger VLD's kill quick.

What caliber is the Glock 26 (are these 2 guns comparable in size?).
