Para TTR

The Better Half just got her copy of NRA’s First Freedom magazine in the mail. One of the feature articles in the magazine was about Para USA, formerly of Canada and currently of Charlotte, NC. In the article the new award-winning Para Tactical Target Rifle is discussed along with some eye-candy photos.

The Better Half likes this rifle. She already has a Para Warthog (Miss Piggy) and likes that gun too. We’ll put this on the list of small caliber rifles to consider AFTER we move to Arizona, since, as described below, the rifle can not be approved in Kalifornistan.
