ON SAFARI

Safari, so good.” At least I think that’s what they used to say back in the day. Well, Safari SO good! Let me explain. My buddy Ray Hampton bought an FAC-rated gun. It was a very good gun, but needed a bunch of tuning. He spent more time tuning the thing than shooting it. I was lucky. I had an FX Impact in .25 and a Daystate Red Wolf in .22 and both were amazing.
