I heard a rumor that the SE Idaho rockchucks, badger & ground squirrels were looking to relocate away from the Soda Springs area. Apparently,,, sixshot may be getting a seriously longer range handgun just for them,,!  |

Cool... so what makes a "seriously longer range handgun"
telescopic sights, flatter shooting caliber or???
I already thought SIXSHOT was a serious long range handgunner

Well I can say I took some big old muley bucks with the 250 XP100 years ago, one over 30" that I have mounted in the basement. I'd show photo's but they are locked up in Photobucket. Another really big muley buck fell to my Encore 250 Improved & the shot was a very long one & I have that big rack in the basement also.
Never shot a big critter with the 25 TCU but it was a shooter for sure, have never been able to get it back from Axehandle.... I'll show this other one when I get it in hand, they are hard to find but I've needed another Rock Chuck gun because they stay out of six gun range most of the time so this one will even the odds a bit. I need Sheriff Russ Cottle back up here again to help me out!

May have to make a road trip, Dick. Just picked up a .20 VarTarg 12" barrel for a Contender. Need to give it a good 'wringing out'.

Russell, if it ever quits snowing & blowing you can come on up & whack some Chucks, there's plenty of them.

I regret selling my Custom Shop XP .250 Savage a few years ago. It was a fine gun. My .257 JDJ Contender will not be for sale in my lifetime, though.

Ken, I don't recall if it was a 250 XP that you were shooting that day or not but I was laughing pretty hard, watching the old Marine running that single shot like an M16 trying to keep up with all of those Chucks down at "Rock Chuck Central", what a hoot! Of course the other day that will always stand out is the Soda Fountain caper at Cimarron, New Mexico! I'll bet that kid is still running! Fond memories!
