The cheek riser is something I made out of a piece of yoga block…. Without it was more like chin weld.
This one I won in a gun raffle. Looks like a 1911, but the insides are not at all a 1911. Its still somewhat accurate and a hoot to shoot.
With this Browning Buck Mark Target I have won a couple of handgun silhouette competitions and have harvested many Texas cottontails and squirrels.
This is my only rimfire revolver but it is a lot of fun to shoot and very accurate. A Smith & Wesson model 617

Fully formed. I got sick of playing “find the dot” with that garbage auto-sensing Fastfire II. RM09 to the rescue. This might be my favorite gun. Certainly the most useful.

This year’s squirrel tournament rifle, T1x with Vortex Diamondback 4-16.
This is my only rimfire handgun….a Mark II that I’ve had for several years. It has Williams front and rear sights, and a Vortex red dot.

A Marlin-Glenfield model 25 was the first .22 rifle that I ever owned. I was a teenager and got it as a gift in the late 1970s. I sold it decades ago. Since I bought a copy of the first gun that I ever owned--a Marlin 336C--I decided to purchase a copy of the second gun that I ever owned: the Marlin Glenfield model 25. So I found one on gunbroker and bought it. The gun is in superb shape.
I also have a Rossi .22 shooting gallery style slide action .22. I had wanted a slide action .22 for a while. So when one showed up at my local gunshop--Jackson Armory in Dallas--I grabbed it. In doing some research when I was interested in a slide action, I read that the old Rossis were better. This is an older model Rossi.
This was my first time firing either gun. I picked up the Glenfield about a week ago. The Glenfield is in virtually new condition even though it's at least 30 years old. he Marlin's bolt seems very stiff--especially where it fits in with the stock notch. I imagine that will wear in over time. I don't remember the one that I had as a teenager being this stiff. As I put more rounds for the Rossi I started to experience about one failure to extract from every magazine. I'm not sure if it's specific ammo because I didn't really have the time to get in depth. I am going to keep the Rossi with open sights, even though they are hard to see with my older eyes. I am getting a scope for the Marlin. I do notice that the Marlin is really long. It has a long length of pull and a 22 inch barrel. The picture shows both guns with a yardstick in between them as an indication. The Rossi has a 16 inch barrel. Look how amazingly long the Marlin is next to the Rossi.
