Re: Sherri’s, rifle — it’s a Tubb 2000. The front sight is a RightSight (Stallings Machine). One unusual feature is the device mounted in front of the magazine well. You would think that it would be used in the standing position like a hand rest, but apparently she uses it in the sitting position. Does anyone know what caliber she is shooting?
Great pictures by Jonathan Ocab! (See above comment #2).
I think Sherri’s been shooting .260 Rem for the past year or two in her T2k.
Rest assured, whatever she DOES shoot she’ll come out on top!
Congratulations Sherri! (Say hi to your mom for me, next time you see her please…)
