Feature by: Stan Trzoniec
Amazing how life can treat you sometimes. Perusing a local gun show recently, I stopped at one dealer who, on a shelf above most of his wares, was a mint-looking Weatherby Mark XXII 4x50mm scope. It looked as though it had not been associated with a rifle during its lifetime. READ MORE…
