How old are you? I'll be 48 at the end of the month and the eyes don't focus on three seperate points like they used to.

It's all about the front sight. I'll be 41 at the end of the month and my eyesight has been 20/400 ever since I've been in junior high school.

Yep. You're the only one that I know of that actually owns a Mateba. The Russians do come up with something interesting. But I think that I'll stick with my Ruger and SW wheelguns.

.22 Ruger Mark II Pistol w/ red dot sight
.32 Taurus 246 Revolver

.22 Ruger 10/22 Carbine rifle w/ purple (yes purple!) thumbhole stock
.22 Ruger Ninety-Six lever rifle

and
I don't remember what the black powder long gun I have is. I just know one of these days i need to pull it out of the safe and have it refinished.

I use the Mark II for the pistol league I'm in and the 10/22 for the rifle league. I haven't fired the Taurus or the Ninety-Six yet. The black powder is more of an heirloom but it was fired by grandpa before he passed. Actually, all but one of these guns came from my grandpa. The Taurus was my grandma's . Hoowever, he didn't have the red dot sight on the pistol or the purple stock on the rifle.

There's a gun shop here that has an indoor range and lets you rent any gun in the place for $10 (I imagine ammo is not included). I'll be going there in 1 1/2 weeks.

Hey we may need to spawn off a fire arms thread...

Another option is an Ithaca model 37 or model 87. Both of those eject out the bottom.
