The good old days! Now days if you rode around with your gun loaded in a car!!
.243 had to make a mess o' them chucks!!!
The farmers were very understanding...the chucks ruined a lot of crops...
I usually used an Enfield "Jungle Carbine" with iron sights (shot real nice, too!), but my buddy owed me, so I ended up with the .243...
The Chevy wagon was the star...I had cut the hatch for transporting a motorcycle (ride it right up a plank into the car; strap it to the eyebolts; drive on), but it made for an excellent "hull down" personnel carrier...had a plywood hatch cover that fit over the hole during inclement weather...
I had three of them "transporter wagons"...most useful cars I've ever owned...and the dogs loved the ride...power windows all around...lots of stories, lol...
