I'm with you on the "gun nut" thing. I used to walk thru town and get on the railroad tracks to get out of town to go hunting before having a drivers license. The 8th grade principles between the 5 towns that made up the school district taught the hunter safety course. We brought our 22's to school at night for hands-on lessons. I have 5 sons and I'm trying to pass it on as much as I can.
Anyway, I have found this forum very informative and learn from the questions of newbies and veterans. And I enjoy the heck out of my Krag Jorgensen.
