morton 5,368 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 You just don't get the excitement with a rifle like you get with a running dog A rifle takes less looking after,can be locked up and forgot about, until the urge to take it out again arrives.Feck me,that sounds like a lot of lurcher lads and their mutts now. 1 Quote Link to post
