[QUOTE="Dmc707, post: 4243026, member: 54876"] For sure --- i hate to say it, but there isnt much of a story behind my little rifle for now -it was on the rack at Big Boys in Mustang and i just thought it looked cool -- but there is a story leading up to it i suppose. Took a literal car load of heavy caliber single shots and leverguns up to the Whittington Center in Raton NM to plink around at the long distance silhouettes. At the time was cultivating a very nasty shoulder injury that eventually needed reconstructive surgery -- all the 45/70's and old school crescent butt leverguns i brought with me were just brutal to shoot - so i spent most of my time there shooting my iron sighted M1A and an 8" barreled Dan Wesson. The recoil compared to a 45/70 hunting rifle is almost nonexistent. Sold the heavy kicking hunting rifles not long after, and ultimately a buddy made me a deal on both the M1A's too so off they went I'll pick up another full length one of these days but until then i like the sporty looks of this Tanker model. I have been wanting to jump in the Garand puddle for a while also , so i might prioritize one of those over another full length M1A though -- if only to fuel my inner "Gran Torino" character [/QUOTE]
