And the nice man driving the brown truck gave me presents. One long box had one of the new models of Rugers Mini-30 in it. I don't know if all are aware that in 2006 Ruger redid the mini-14 and mini-30 rifles. They addressed the complaint about accuracy and tightened up the tolerances which made it shoot better and more reliable. Now I am glad I waited so long. I will be going out tomorrow (Sat. 28th) and try it out.  Another long box had a rifle (carbine) that I have pondered over for a long time. Finally Gun Tests featured one and proclaimed it a good buy for the money. It is a Hi-Point carbine in 40 S&W. And just because my son likes them, I got the one with the laser mounted on it. I am so tired of staying at home on crutches or in a wheel chair that I just have to get out of this house.  Luckily I have a son that likes to shoot as well as I do and we will spend some quality time together this Sat. Oh, one more thing came. It was a very heavy box and I wondered what it was. When I opened it up it was a whole case of .357 Mag ammo. The funny or maybe good part of it is I did not order it. ??? I am setting it back until they get their orders straight.  I also got me one of Lee's little Zip trimmers. And it is a dandy. Beats the heck out of cutting the cases back on a crank type case trimmer. A gun buddy had one on his work bench and told me to try it.  No settings, just put the proper cutter in the case and pull the handle. I can see why they call it ZIP.

Hi sarge,
 At one time, I had owned two Ruger rifles. Both were of the mini 14 variety, one a mini 14 ranch rifle and the other a mini 14. I got rid of both because of the tragedy in montreal and I thought that the Commy gov't at that time would ban the mini 14 from canada. That didn't happen. The other reason why I got rid of them was accuracy (10" group @ 100 yards! and that was the best group!). Both rifles couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside!! they were crap! Let me know how well these new rifles shoot are they better that the early rifles? If they are as good as you claim, I just may give Herr Ruger another chance.

I got to shoot mine today and I am posting a message about it.  I still need to do more shooting with it to find out the accuracy and all.,
