    So why would someone leave their rifle leaning against a tree? Old fart who forgot he had a rifle with him? I can relate to that.

    That was cool. It must be dry out there? It has some rust but nothing like it would have been around here.
    With a little work it looks like it could have been put back in service.

    I remember this story from when the rifle was found. There's no telling who left it and why. Interesting that it had no bullets in the chamber and just one in the stock. That almost has to be a part of the story.

    Y'all can say whatever you want but the site is acting strange of late. Lots of double posting, and at times my ipad has trouble loading the site. I use the full site version, by the way and its never done this before. It'll get to about 20% and stick. Then after about a minute it will load or time out.

    I think vbulletin has some issues in the latest load. No other site does this for me.

    I ain't bitching. Just reporting the facts ma'am. The non-alternative ones.
