    My dad fired the last shot of the season

    Rifle is officially over till the fall now. Since rifle on coyote ends the last day of March. Tonight took a special trip before sunset to the field for a coffee, Cigar and to fire that last shot. The target was of course the shooting rock. A rock the size of a deer body I have been using to check sighting on various rifles. My father is disabled and has a permit to hunt from a vehicle. Thats why he is shooting out my truck window. This was his first shot ever from my K31 and the first iron sight shot he has made in a long, long time. Rock is exactly 200 yards from that position. One shot one kill. Was a good time

    Glad you got to spend the time together. Now get him a good rifle.
    A model 700 in 30-06 comes to mind.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    be the heat..

    Ok good. But the most important thing is spending time together.
    NOTHING can replace that.

    It's nice you could do that with your dad.
    My dad was a businessman. Our interests never converged. Shooting time/gun discussions between my dad (rest his soul) was zeeerro.
    I'm jealous of all you guys that hunt or shoot with your dads.

    I object to the "Get him a good rifle" statement. A k31 is a very fine rifle and the engineering in them is excellent. 7.5 Swiss is every bit as powerful as the .30-06 round.

    agreed, just not as popular.
