I'm not so sure. Although I do not know Gunsmoke personally, (though that has never stopped me from picking on him in the past

) I gather that he is enough of a gear head that he could figure out that there are better long-range rifles than a scoped lever action Mod 94. On the other hand, for all I know, the old boy in the tub is like a buddy of mine out by Lake Travis who has about a thousand acres of high-fenced property to hunt, and puts out a feeder at 40 yards and kicks over bucks in the 140 class like I used to shoot mockingbirds with a pellet gun. Some of them had ear tags. Anyway, I have a Mod 94 that a former partner of mine used to blow his brains out (I always was sentimental) and I also have a Rifles Incorporated Ultra Light with a Swarovski 3-12 X 50 in .300 Win Mag. And I can tell you what I would be using if I were in that hot tub.
Oh, if that is Gunsmoke, somebody tell him not to dry his hair in that thing.
