I wouldn't dare show that to my wife. I can hear her now, "why don't you pull out that Cooper and cut it down for me!:eek: Michael did for his wife!!!!" Whatta you trying to start?

[ray h]

Lookin' good Michael. I need to get off the stick and get mine done.

So does your wife like to shoot varmints or paper mostly?

I will buy it from you for 10$ right now, you know what throw in a hand shake too.

[Mntngoat]

Mostly paper matt. she been squirrel shooting a few times but doesn't enjoy it like the rest of us do.

Problem is everything recoils too much for 5'0" frame and all my rifles are too big for her.

[ab_bentley]

What about that deal, ehh?

[Easy_E]

That some nice wood I may someday break down a buy a Cooper.

[Mntngoat]

What about that deal, ehh?


Make it $15 and find me another white poodle like last saturday morning you got a deal :cool:

ML

[Qaz]

I will go one better; I will give you $50 and I will let you shoot both of the neighbors white poodles! I don't like the little yappy dogs anyway!:D
Let me know when you will be here, she usually walks by the house at 5:00pm each day.

that sure looks nice Michael! You'll have to bring that one along to the shoot next year so we can drool over it! LOL

[ab_bentley]

Acutally, Michael is going to sell all of his guns to me and take up Cage Fighting, Michael "The Mangler" is his new name. I will be sure to brig it out East when I come back.

looks absolutely great
lucky girl

question
did it come in 17 AH so you had no choice....or did you choose it in 17AH if so ....why did you choose the AH over the fireball as a chambering?

I'm trying to understand why someone would choose something built on a crappy rimmed case like a 22 hornet case. When a modern rimless case design is availiable.

I have owned several hornets over the last 16 years and find hornet and hornet based rounds to be the most frustrating, case sensitive rounds out there.
It might be just being in Australia but finding quality brass was a nightmare.........

thanks

I picked it up from another Saubier member in 17 AH, with the Lilja barrel already chambered by Bob Green. My wife is small in stature and is recoil sensitive so the 17 AH is perfect for her. Personally if it was bee boltface it would have became a .17 Killer Bee and my wife would be without a rifle.

That's a lovely looking rifle. Beautiful wood. Your wife is very lucky.

[K22]

WOW!! I'm really looking forward to moving in with you ML.:D
