I did the 1800 to 0600 for a decade or so, retired over 3 and a half years ago, haven't missed it.

Classes, took a five hour training class this evening. Been putting it off for awhile. Almost feel asleep in the middle of it, that how board I had gotten.

I think to save my 076 I'm going to let a few others go. I have 2 that a local buddy has been waiting for which is good. But I'm going to for sure let go of my Stihl 015L, ms170, and homelite "old blue". I'm tossing around the idea of letting go of one of my 041 Supers [emoji19]

Not trying to sell here but I wanted to give y'all a heads up if anyone were remotely interested. I won't be making money just trying to collect cash back a bit

You must be getting some AR' s for the kids.

Quit giving him ideas, he's already having a hard enough time getting rid of a few saws.

But they are Stihls! I like my 017, but after the recent 10-10 acquisition it would be on the chopping block if I hadn't already given it to my parents.

I figured being in Texas with the looting going on, be target practice to see if you could wing a few in the leg.

Moving targets are hard to hit, ever trying hitting a squirrel in your truck, they are fast.

I would never shoot a squirrel in my truck because I'd have holes all in my truck

My boys are starting same as me with a .22lr lever action iron sights

Winchester or a Marlin? My son inlaw has an old Winchester he uses, me personally use a Ruger 1022 with a big hi-powered rifle scope, can't hit worth a flip with iron sights, course I can't see the target either. Either I see my iron sights with lower reading glasses or I see the target with upper part of my lenses can't see both.

Winchester. I like to make them learn the old way before they can use modern convenience. Axe then saw then power saw...iron sights before scope...you get the idea

I've got an old Ithaca. 22 lever but it won't cycle like it should. They had problems with this model so it got discontinued in favor of a different design from Germany, which is now the Henry .22lr.

I used to use iron sights but I eyes won't let me. I have a time target shooting with my S&W 22A, I've painted the front sight white so I can see it. Has plenty of room on top to mount a scope, 7" barrel on it. Also have a Heritage 9 shot revolver with a 7" barrel with fiber optic iron sights. Sights on it are great, I just can't hit jack with it compared to the S&W.

It looks to be in very good condition.

Let me guess, was running the last time the saler used it three months ago.

Picked up this 702EVL for next to nothing, spent some time tracking down a bar and clutch parts, just got a chain made for it. Excited to try it out.

I was thinking about you today. Been hurting for money and had pressure put on. If I end up selling my JD 70v I'll give you first dibs if you'd want. It's down the line further though
