I hope I didn’t come off as bashing your vote for the 97 in .20 or .20 cal?
If I did, I sincerely apologize.
When I reread it this morning it came off like I was being short in my response. That was NOT my intent. It was more a written reminder to myself why I’m avoiding .20 and .25. I have to firm with myself sometimes because I have very little self discipline.
I appreciate everyone’s response to this thread. It has helped me to decide where/what I want to try next. I Have found a nice looking TX200 hunter carbine for sale for what seems like a good price but I already placed a WTB ad here for the .22 77 with old style stock. I doubt I’ll find one but I’m hopeful. I am pretty much telling myself that I will end up buying new and modifying or swapping the stock with a custom or one that I will make.
I don’t want this conversation to end. While I am searching to scratch the itch, my mind will shift many times I’m sure. I may end up with something completely different than what my sights are set on at this moment… SQUIRREL
