f'in thieves, string em up...
I can see them walking into Billy-Bob's pawn shop now- "if it was a remington with a tasco scope I could buy it from ya but I've never heard of BAT and Borden, must be Chinese"

Here's hoping they are recovered, fingers crossed

Why the hell would you leave something like that in your truck?!?!?!? At least get a $500 alarm system if that is your "safe". There are no such thing as safe neighborhoods. These are the ones the real theives target.

What's going to "happen", is that it's "so special", that the thief can't sell it, and he'll trash it, so he won't get caught. What a crime! Sorry to hear.

That's right down the road from me...

Thats a shame.... They probably dont even know what they stole.

Can't sell it - too conspicuous. Can't shoot it - these idiots probably couldn't even find out what it's chambered in. I really do hope Rodney Wagner gets his rifle back. What a pity!

If they catch them I wish they would castrate, cut off hands and feet , take out one eye, blindfold the other eye. Make them pay the hospital bill with blood if they had no money. Stick a cholla cactus up their ass. If these things would happen I bet this bullshit would stop, ahh just guessing!

If he was coming from a match, my bet he was followed. And the individual knew exactly what he was after. It happened to me with a handgun, stop to use the facility and get some food. Came out car was unlocked, weather strip was torn and gun was gone. A friend I shot trap with told me a similar story. About how someone try to take his Remington 3200. He had shoot a trap match in Central California, they tried to strong arm him. Lucky a cop just happen to pull up, or it would have happened.

A gun is a hard thing to track. When you've been out with your guns, use caution on the way home.
