MYGAWDS Rifles

I did a few years back, no one objected to it.

It got stolen so I'm back to the 10/22

Hope to see everyone April 26-30!  In addition to the CZ 453, I have lucked into a Ruger 10/22 with the walnut manlicher full stock in stainless steel that I'm anxious to get blooded, so I'll stick with the .22 long rifle.  Everything from 17 to 223 have been used on our hunts, not sure if Garou unleashed the exotic big 7 that he has, but I've considered bringing my 50-90 out just to say I've done it. The only heat Jim and I took was one of our group getting too close to a house with a 17, we went out and visited with the landowner and got it all straightened out. Way too loud was the complaint. Great to see everyone getting worked up for this hunt! Tom

Bear, the 50-90 is a black powder cartridge rifle that I've had for sometime, a C. Sharps offering as I've done quite a bit of stock work for the company over the years.  600 grain lead cast by Montana Bullet Works in Bonner near Missoula with 90 grains of Fg Goex. Like hurling a brick at something. Trajectory is a real danger to low flying crop planes. 

I've used the go-to 10/22, 17HMR, .223, 6mmRem, and, yes, the exotic 7mmPM at MYGAWDS. The 10/22 is my preferred tool. I generally go through a traditional 500rd brick of Winchester SuperX 40gr. Jacketed Power Points. The 17 is a bit loud, but extends the range by 100 yards or so. Windage is always an issue with the rimfire cartridges.

That sounds like a good choice. You can reach out farther than us .22 guys.
