Not a very good picture to send but all I got now
Probably a bit late here but this is what we bought my dad to hunt pigs with he is 81. We got him a Ruger American in 7.62x39. The rifle is short with a 16" barrel, super light and the recoil is pretty soft. This rig is great on deer and pigs inside 200 yds. We put a leupold 2-7x32 on it..He loves it
If you reload I may have some things to offer up for you, or maybe a few boxes of ammo?
Thank you for that. I'll touch base later on this with you. I'll trade you ammo for ammo. I have some 270 and 300wm that I don't shoot anymore if that interest you. Also have a few reloading items.
Looks like he'll be able to keep handgun for home/self defense....which is a good thing.
I'm not real sure about the scope on this rifle. Can't even remember what brand, but this shoots basically two groups.
Couple of shot goes into one 1- 1.5" group then it shoots another group about 2-3" away from first then it goes back. Normally that's signs of a bad scope. It never bothered me because I mostly shoot less than 100 yards anyway. But it could lay down on you anytime I guess. I've got an old weaver v-4.5 I can throw on there if you wish, but you'd have to sight it in. It's a good scope but has fine crosshairs that's hard for me to see early and late

Anything is appreciated.
