Well the day finally came for #9 to have a play date with my beloved Winchester 427. You can read my earlier post on Winnie but she is one of my most cherished rifles. She's just a beauty!I haven't set up the ding donger in a few days. Just too busy. But today I decided it was about time. I wasn't entirely sure if there were any more but sure enough the ding donger went off while I was finishing up a call. I already had a H&N Sport 13.73 in the barrel. Just cocked it and took aim. My eyesight just isn't what it used to be so again decided a body shot was better than risking a head shot. Well based on the angle it looks like the placement was pretty good. A couple twitches and done. Fairly clean affair unlike some of the bloody messes with other weapons. Squirted the tried and true hydrogen peroxide to break up the blood stain and then squirted with water bottle. You'd never know.Trying to decide what will be the next weapon of choice. The open sight shots ended in good results. I'm thinking now open sight pistol. Choices...
Nice shooting with your 427 Andrew! How old is the gun?
