I imagine everyone here will have seen this at one time or another … and it may well have been posted here in the past … but reckoned I'd just post it here again just for the heck of it …

Sounds like an advertisement for the 6.5 Creedmoor now!

 :) Hey Perfesser  ;D

I wonder now, if that advertising still applies to a Man on Iron Horseback, riding down the 410, or I-95, trying to rack his Henry and shooting back at the State Patrol??  "D" Lever and Spin-Cock maybe??  Bet it'd make YouTube easy.
