Default Misplaced your rifle??

Somebody left a rifle at the Sherwood Park Fish and Game rifle range on Sunday August 21 and went home! If you are the person that belongs to this item, contact the SPFGA office at 780-910-4248.

How many guesses as to make, model and chambering do they allow per phone call?

How about a Remington 700 with a Leupold scope in a Plano case?

Hey, if you have enough of them, hard to notice one missing.

Could also be someone who is away on holidays and hasn't yet realised it is missing or someone who doesn't read AO. If it isn't claimed in a couple of weeks it shouldn't be too hard for the club to contact those that signed in on the 21st.

SPFGA is in the process now of contacting over 70 possible shooters that signed in on Sunday at the range.

It's been a week and Sherwood Park Fish and Game still have no idea who the owner of the lost rifle is.
