Before the garden get going!!

Before the garden gets going, I need to thin the rabbit population down a little.

Yesterday using a Browning BL-22 I bought in 1978 or 79 from J.C.Pennys for 127.00 Screenshot_20240518-213222_Gallery.jpg

And tonight a Glenfield I purchased at Holiday gas station in 1973 for 39.00. A brick of 22 shells were 5.00

Now I will get to eat my beans and peas.

Both rifles have shot 1000's of rounds threw them. I had to replace the dust cover on the bolt for BL-22. The Glenfield I have not did a thing to it. I will take it out of the stock and blow air thru the trigger assembly to clean it up. And a few drops of Breakfree on and behind the bolt.
 
12 years or so I gave 30.00 cash for a Glenfield and a sandwich baggie of shells. Went to my brother for garden patrol duty. Skunks, rabbits, opossum, stray cats. The other day he told me the baggie was getting low. I told him buy some, more than you think you will ever need.
 
G wiz your loaded with em. Good thing you got them or you wouldnt have anything left in the garden.
 
Love my BL-22. I also have two Marlin 39s and at our shooting sessions everyone fights over the BL.
You gotta like that shorter throw lever.
I also bought my first gun at a Holiday gas station, a Marlin 336 .30-30 For 95 bucks! I wanted the Winchester 94 but it was $99 and I only had $100 to spend.
The cheaper Marlin left enough for a box of rounds too….
