Ruger’s 77/22 And The Sting Of The Hornet Part 2
I was listening to “For What It’s Worth”, early Buffalo Springfield, and it came to mind how much 60s rock music sucked. With few exceptions, music lacked bass, brass and had way too much circus organ keyboard. Lyrics were redundant, banal, and lacking in… substance. Fans were the product of […] [Read More]

Ruger's 77/22 And The Sting Of The Hornet Part 1
No rock-a-billy, no 60’s rock, no Neil Young, no Jackson Browne… not even the Eagles. Today it is all Commodores and singing along with front man Lionel Richie. Great voice, mellow fellow and I can actually understand the words to his songs. Anyway… The Ruger 77 Series rifles: 77/44, 77/357, […] [Read More]
