Sauer Semi Automatic Rifle

[Oxman]

My Dad had a Remington 760 Game Master chambered in 30-06. This is a pump deer rifle. It also came in a semi-auto version called a Woodsmaster.

 

We used to go shooting out in the hills above Los Angeles back in the 1960's. Our targets were tin cans, telephone books and these cool plastic 2 1/2 gallon milk bags filled with water. The water would fly in a halo circle about 15' in diameter.

 

As a youngster, the centerfire caliber hurt my shoulder like the dickens. I preferred the .22 version of the pump action rifle, called the Remington Model 572. It had a tube magazine. The actuating mechanism consisted of only one bar that connected the pump handle to the bolt. This bar eventually broke. That was a lotta rounds we put thru that .22.

 

Nowadays, I prefer the Barnett Wildcat crossbow with an attached fishing reel for shooting lines up in old growth trees.......
