Old faithful R9

[DanD]

It's been over 4 years since I've hunted the squirrel woods with the old R9. I put it together when I was in search of the perfect squirrel rifle before the Diana compacts hit the market- they look great right out of the box. The stubby R9 is shooting twang-free and stronger than ever with a fresh Hornet spring pushed over an OEM HW50S guide, one JM spacer, and a properly sized Hornet seal. After about 20 shots, I recorded a 10 shot string of FTT 8.64 avg 885 SD 6. This young buck was taken around 20 yards as he foraged the forest floor. I am very happy to have made a successful stalk and put the pellet right where I wanted.
I'm also pleased that the field dressing went well with very little hair or debris stuck to it.
Thanks for reading. Hunt safely.

Nice hunt.  That is one sweet looking rifle.

It looks like you and your trusty R9  are still zeroed in. Great shooting and pics and the nutter dressed out real nice too. Ed
