I looked at these at the gunshop, thought it would be too much fun. They had it listed for $1,250. For the price, I believe you could buy any lever, pay the tax -$200, do the work and still be ahead by $500 for ammo.

Re: Who would let their little child shoot a gun at an old car?
Used to shoot in an old gravel pit when in the Marines. Someone dragged a car out there, I wasn't the first to shoot at it. Found out that a 500gr. FMJ from a 458 Win Mag would go through the trunk, backseat, frontseat, dash and break the intake. Could have stopped the car by firing at the trunk. Don

This is a good time of year for me to shoot. The family plows up an acre of ground right at the range for a garden. Lots of rocks and dirt clods to bust at all different distances. Every thing from 22, 444, 270, 35 Whelen, 45-70, to 458 Win Mag is used.
