New Old Fart from Connecticut
« on: April 16, 2012, 03:49:07 PM »
Howdy!


I recently bought a Rossi/Puma/LSI in .44 Magnum with a 20" round barrel.


It really has me all pink and wiggly. I haven't liked a rifle so much in many a long year.


A friend and I are going out tomorrow to reconnoiter an area where we have permission to try to thin out the Coyote population.


Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.

If I searched correctly a LSI is like a 92 Winchester.  Handsome rifle!

Good luck on the coyotes.  Since they came here the woodchuck hunting is gone.  Now I hunt pests with a big game rifle at times.
