Thought I'd post a couple pics from this year's trip to northern Missouri turkey hunting. My dad and I go up every year, I was pretty tight on time this year but still got up for 3 days. Dad killed a nice gobbler on Friday, and I ended up with a nice one Sunday morning. We hunted again Monday, heard a ton of gobbling on the roost, but none wanted to play the game with us.

This tom hung up at around 80 yards, then we saw he had a hen with him. He bred the hen, then came to beat up our jake decoy and that was his last hoorah.

I ate my only Illinois tag this year, so it was nice to get a bird down. Especially hunting with my Dad. Now I just have to wait until this coming Monday, then its off for 10 days in the Eastern Cape!
 
Technical difficulties on the pics apparently. I'll try to fix that.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
