I think i just have to get me an early xmas pressie and hide it from the wife.......What can anyone say.......as a psychologist,though,I'm often asked.....Four possibilities: She has set you up She has set you up,lovingly,as you really deserve this but might have missed the chance She is not involved at all Yet Without prejudice,there is some interesting discussion about the 22/250's very considerable merits-well nigh 'must have' really-on the current thread "Calibre Advice". Merry Xmas :-) gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 In that caliber id be cautious , and only consider it if the seller is genuine and trusted about the round count . Does it shoot acceptable ? Test drive maybe ? atb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
