I've recently been on a "gun kick", and been purchasing guns, a safe and joined a local club that has several ranges including a 100 yard and up to 600 yard range.
Around 1990 I bought a Winchester Model 70 30-06, Springfield, Solid Walnut stock with checkering based on the recomendation of a friend that I was going to start deer hunting with that year. That same friend also happened to be an FFL and a member of the club I've now joined 20+ years later. We (He) sighted in the gun within ten shots at 100 yards.
My friend passed away shortly after. As he was my mentor and I a novice with no practical place to shoot, the rifle was stored without any further use beyond that initial ten shots and now 21-22 years later it has a new scope and ready to be used. My range qualification for the 100 yard range is this Saturday and I cannot wait. Once I'm qualified, I can finally use what is essentially my new but two decade old rifle.
