....and I am impressed. I blame this situation on a couple of members here (sportsnut and rtgunsmoke) who have for years pushed Yard and Swamp blades on another forum..... I have a 511 on the way ('nut Mrs Andy has a Voodoo Doll with your name on it) but a Tan 6.5 Regulator was waiting for me at the Post Office today. Received it (unknowingly at the time) from another member here "tagati". He was great to deal with BTW.

Some pics later this evening when I have consumed enough beer to be creative and Mrs Andy is out (so I can take over the kitchen bench).

Pics or it didn't happen!

Congats, I remember when I received my first SY knife and what a great feeling it was. I still get that feeling every knife I get.

What rifle is that?

Congratulations on your new blade. You are now going to be addicted. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

...thanks Renee, "you" just pinged me for my 511 so I will be back down to the Post Office in a week or so for that I am guess... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

.....1973 Winchester Model 70 in .375H&H ... it is my favourite rabbit rifle... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If Y'all got rabbits big enough to need something like that I sure would hate to see you "BIG" game! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

If you have ever been charged by an angry rabbit you will understand why I take the phrase "use enough gun" seriously.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on your first score

Enjoy
