Even with the rising prices of ammo, reloading componants, gas…etc people are getting the itch for Spring to finally come and start shooting. We have been selling the Remington 700 SPS Varmints really well and reports back are they shoot. I havent had one but the 17 Fireball is interesting and Im sure I will have to have one eventually. One of the guys just got one of Remingtons 799’s in 222. He hasnt shot it yet because bases were a pain to find and even Remington couldnt figure out what works for it. But after lots of searching, just so everyone knows, we think Weaver bases 71A and 23 are suppose to work. I’ll let you know if they do and how it shoots. We have got a few discontinued Ruger #1b’s in. 22-250, 220 Swift, 300 Weatherby, and 338 Win. We have done well with them and we have them priced at $699.99, about $100 off any of the cataloged guns. The 17 HMR’s are still going strong. We got in some interesting used guns this week. A 2003 Shot Show Special Remington 700 in 7mm Mag. Its stainless with a dark walnut stock. A really nice looking gun. I also got in a Remington 700 VLS Thumbhole stock in 22-250. Both the Remingtons are in perfect shape. Check out our website www.orchardshardware.com for all the new and used updates. I got out about 3 weeks ago and actually shot, something I dont do near enough. It felt good and Im ready, or close to ready, for the praire dogs. I think Im even going to have my old Marlin 322 restocked this year to furthur inspire me to go shooting. I still need to talk Jr into taking a day off and go with me though. I’ll have to work on him a little :)
