............ a B B Gun!
But not just any BB Gun. A 70th anniversary edition of the Daisy "Red Rider".
I saw Up In Smoke (Jerry) state that he got one for Christmas and I became envious.
Was at Wally World yesterday and they had some.

I had one when I was a kid. Wish I still had it.
I saw one this past weekend and the first thing I thought was I'd shoot my eye out! So I went with the 9mm! ;)
Congrats! ;D

Heck... I wuz just kiddin'...
We talked to our accountant this week, and...
Apparently, I can't even pay
admission to Wally World.
If that wuzn't bad enough, the GUV of Illinois has decided he wants MORE of what I ain't got.
Go figger.
Do they have conjugal visits in debtor's prison?
Use to have both of them toys, now one of them aint toys.
What a bunch of crap!
Great score Sonny.
Had alotta good times that "Red Ryider" back in the day

Ya'll get one and you guys can come shoot cans with Jerry and Me!
My Radio Flyer has the wood sides.......... I can't buy that many.
Gonna shoot those big mesquitos with that?
Wifey works at Wally World and I told her grab one for me! Lots of memories there, all good except when my brother decided to shoot me in the butt. ;D
My BB gun addiction grew into a life long passion for airguns! I have 17 of them.
I'm a serial can killer......
Ron,
I just bought a Gamo Whisper .177 rifle at Gander Mountain. Nice air rifle. It's at least a foot longer than my Colt AR-15. Came with a nice variable power scope. Looks like a freakin' sniper's rifle.

Now that's funny!
Congrats CRG, wish I had my old BB gun back.
A while back they cleared the lot across the street and the squirrels took up residence in our back yard for a while.
It was ok at first, then they started rappelling down the screens.
I needed a new tool...
Enter Ruger Air Hawk, stage left.
I took up residence in the kids playhouse for a couple of mornings / evenings, never had a clear shot at one, just like deer hunting, as soon as season starts they all go on cruise vacations somewhere else...
They left, I musta skeered them away!
Kynola, I got an Air Arms TX200 with a 8x32 with 1/8 MOA target knobs and extended focal range Burris scope that I can head shoot a squirrel at 50 yards. Also an Anschutz that will put the whole box of pellets through the same hole.
As I said, that little Daisy hooked me at an early age!!
I'm an old has been airgun champ with State Championship wins in both Texas and Louisiana and 3rd in the Nationals. I'm a backyard plinker now and love my old cheapy guns to kill cans!!
Sorry for the high jack Sonny, but you can tell I love airguns!!
Sorry for the hijack too Sonny.
Dang Ron, those are some serious air rifles. Fun aren't they?
Red Rider rules!!! I was the block hero huntin in the ditch behind the house growing up. Used to plink minnows and crawdads while walking along the banks acting like Daniel Boone and Davey Crocket, then one day a dragon fly landed on a leaf and I shot off his tail. Anyone who has ever shot a Red Rider knows that it was pure luck! But at 8 years old it was cause for celebration and extreme bragging rights!!
Nothing like the shake shake cock fire semi repeating action! Enjoy that old sweetheart Sonny! There are still plenty of old guys playing with them and if anybody has an old one they need repaired let me know. I got a place near here that specializes in repairing old Daisy and Benjy airguns.
That was some interesting stuff. I enjoyed the reading.
Well Wally world had two of them up here and I couldn't pass them up. Man those bring back some good memories. Now I can carry it in the woods when I walk the pups (along with the 460) and have some fun. Them ol beer cans don't stand a chance now!!! :D
That 460 is one fine weapon with some amazing ballistics
i think that would taste terrible smoked,maybe with ct.......
Very nice!!!!
