[Ryker, Trampas and Randy are telling tall tales in the hotel's saloon.]
That ain't nothing. Why I had a rifle one time that could knock down a prairie dog two miles away.
That so?
Why I had the range measured by a licensed surveyor. Two miles even. That was his sworn testimony.
I had a long rifle like that one time. Carried quite a bit further though.
Furthur?
Three miles.
Carried so far I had to use smoked and salted bullets.
Smoked and salted bullets?
Well like I said, it killed at such a distance, if I didn't use them smoked and salted bullets, the game would spoil before I could get to it.
