|
A good friend of mine was out hunting during this week's deer season opener. He was riding a four wheeler in the dark up to his deer stand and rolled the vehicle on a steep embankment. He was bruised, but otherwise unhurt. His Winchester Model 70 was on the four wheeler and took a major hit. I have not seen the rifle yet, however I have it on good authority that the stock is in four pieces. I asked about the action, barrel and scope and was told that the owner was too upset to do a close inspection. I will get the rifle this weekend and cannot wait to see the extent of the damage. I have a stock for the rifle. Oh, well. All the best...
Gil

Gil, do you want to borrow some of my Kevlar to wrap the action with when you pull the trigger?

Still waiting for the damaged rifle to be delivered. I called my local gunsmith in case his services are needed. All the best...

I thought the quads were suppose to be the solution to 3-wheelers causing more deaths than anything else off-road!?!?

Yep...have vague recollections of that too mate. Biggest problem is the way some people ride them...they ride beyond their capabilities, causing accidents and bending good rifles.
Cheers, Vince
