I have an old Browning Challenger II, which I think is the same action, but mine has a thin 6 3/4" bbl and iron sights.

22 pistols are always a gas. I have a few more that I acquired in the past decade. Time to pull them out of the safe and go 22 shooting.

I had a browning buckmark that I put 225,000 round through it. I put 1000 rounds a week through it for years. Back when I could buy a brick for $10. Browning rebuilt it twice for me for free.

I have a few guns with very high round counts. Have a range at the house is convenient.

I gave it to my son a few years back and it still gets shot occasionally.

A stock photo… I don’t have an actual picture of mine that I had.

That's a great press. A group of us had one years ago. I could probably track it down as I'm pretty sure who ended up with it, he's a block away, and I know he's not using it. But I'm just not into it enough to reload for what little shooting I do, and I have enough ammo stored up.

I have a couple Ponsness Warren shotgun presses in the garage on a bench that I'm about to give to a friend, since I just shoot factory shells these days.

I loaded shotgun shells too for a while. That was kind of a waste of time. Once I stopped shooting competitions. My reloading kind of dried up. Now I shoot about 5 or 10 or so times a year just to stay proficient. Usually about 500 rounds when I do shoot.

My wife is off this week for the holidays.
She decided to clean out one of our filing cabinets and came across these
Stones concert program & ticket stubs. I was fresh out of the Navy by a few months.

Any Dr. Berg followers here? This is a great one to watch. Super informative.
