Picking rocks........good grief. Mindless and endless. I don't remember what it payed, not much

For us it was called family bonding. Pay was having not to spend money fixing the equipment.

I had my own GoFundMe's before it was even a word. When I was a kid I sold packs of garden seeds and picked rocks out of fields for farmers in the spring before planting. Picking rocks........good grief. Mindless and endless. I don't remember what it payed, not much, but I'd bout rather be in a prison camp I think before spending days doing that anymore.

Yep. Been there, done that! I was picking stones from an early age, maybe 12 or 13 years old. Started working on farms at 11 y.o. I learned to back up a trailer while unloading the stones into a creek. Most of my friends learned to drive on tractors. I think I started at a quarter an hour, then 50 cents an hour a year or two latter and got to a full dollar an hour by the time I was 17.

When I was a young lad and eager to earn a few bucks, I worked on a farm picking vegetables. I wasn't old enough to drive so the farmer would pick me and a friend up at the house early in the morning. We would literally pick vegetables for 10hrs before returning home. For a solid day of labor in the hot sun, we got $8. When I got a bit older and could get myself to the farmers "farm stand", I got a raise. They would give me $1 an hour. Easier work and more money; it was a home run!

How well I remember hauling hay each summer. Nine o'clock, after the windrows dried enough to bale, until late afternoon under the Kansas sun. Hired myself out to a good number of farms throughout those earlier years to earn enough money to be able to buy my own school clothes and whatever extras caught my young fancy. There was always work for a lad willing to be available. I suspect such opportunities still exist, if a young lad wants to take advantage of them.

Gavin with one of the two 7 PRC's he built. Three shots at 100 yards from the bipod as I recall. 180 grain Hornady ELD-M bullet handload. The PRC's can shoot...

That is a very handsome rifle that Gavin is holding. And the beauty of the rifle is only enhanced by the accuracy it has produced.

This is the smaller & lighter rifle of the two he built. He used a Bergara Premium action, 22" Bartlein barrel, SRS brake, Trigger Tech Diamond two-stage trigger, Boyds laminated stock, and topped it with a 3-24x Riton scope. Doggone thing shoots well.

While I personally prefer a nice wood for a stock, there is no denying that laminate stocks can be very attractive. They have the advantage of stability in adverse conditions, but admittedly they are heavier than synthetic stocks.

Just wanted to say that if anyone were to seat out the 220 Partition to the 3.700" of the 300 PRC, they'll only have it in the neck of the case 0.250", according to math.
