Some questions from this morning's post.
Termite wanted to know if we were cooking red beans. Nope, oddly enough. Red Beans and Rice is a traditional laundry-day meal. But Belle wanted to cook a bisque. I will never interrupt her when she wants to cook something as good as bisque. This will be a simple chicken bisque. We're saving the shrimp for later.
Another commenter wanted to know what kind of rifle I passed on to my grandson. It's a Model 10FCM Scout rifle, built by Savage Arms. It's a second-generation Scout that Savage discontinued about a month after I bought mine. They came out with the 3rd generation. Mine carries a Burris Scout scope and it's chambered in .308 Win.
It has the Accu-stock, which is a metal bedding block in the stock. If he decides he prefers a more traditional scope over the receiver, it is a simple matter to remove the scout mount and install a traditional glass.
We'll put on a couple of pounds of red beans to soak tonight. They will be lunch tomorrow.
I remember those 'factory made Scout' platform carbines. An easy way to get a Scout rifle that didn't require a lot of scrambling around. Very cool rifle - Grandpa was very generous to his Grandson. One's first Deer Rifle is a rite of passage. Most of us cherish them the rest of their lives.
