    Found One….#1 that is

    First time I saw a photo of a #1, I wanted one in 25-06. Looked several years and though I saw some #1's, never a 25-06. Finally found a brand new one in a sporting goods store in Ft Collins, Colo, $265 out the door and had the money in my pocket. Picked it up and fooled with it a while and...

    Joint Replacements and Hunting

    Amazing! I was told the knee would be 100% in a year, has never got back to that. Also was told it'll probably need redone in ten years, getting there and the knee is going down hill!

    Joint Replacements and Hunting

    Boy I feel your pain! Had my left knee replaced about 5 yrs ago and it never got back to 100%. Right knee is needing it next and I simply can't walk like I used to then I'm older than I used to be too, 78 yrs in March! Think I have it figured out now though, got a 4 wheeler! I can ride in and...

    Never bone out shoulder again

    Well that looked really good! Over in Germany we used to buy front quarter's off hog's to make schnitzels with.

    Dead woofs

    There's a reason they were shot out years ago. I think they are beautiful and like seeing them, just not outside a wilderness area!

    Wyoming Long Range Turkey with Centerfire Rifle?

    I see quite a few turkey's around here but have never hunted them. Always figured a 22 mag and head shots would probably be the way to go. But had a 222 Rem years ago that I could regularly hit sugar cubes at 100 yds with, that should work! Seems to me that hardest part of it would be hitting...

    Component Availability

    Wonder why the rest of them can't do that?

    Component Availability

    I don't believe hording is the problem. When times are good there is an overload of supply's. time's get bad and they disappear overnight and for some reason company's claim they can't keep up and prices go up! And the going up prices aren't gradual increases, they go way up to some certain...

    Bull moose

    I suspect you could kill a moose with a 130gr bullet from a 300 Savage! Depends on how well you place the shot. I don't care for any magnums anymore but I do believe the best bullet's in a 300 mag would be 200gr bullets. 300 mag is able to push the bullet fasted and think it might work well with...

    Should I buy a .338?

    I had a tang safety M77 and it was also a lousy shooter. 7x57 when they first came out. Tried about every load I could to fed it to shoot and nothing worked, but beautiful rifle. Well was in local sporting goods store and saw some 150gr Hornady RN bullet's and figured what the heck, nothing else...

    New from Oregon

    Coming home from Spray one year I saw a bunch of those sheep. Went back to a ranch where they were branding and asked about them and old guy that owned the place said they were his. Been a lot of years and my guess the one's your seeing were his and all went loose when he passed. Was quite a few...

    How many of you conceal?

    Why get a CCL if you don't carry? I always think in the back of my head, nothing is gonna happen but sure as h*ll the one time ir does will be when you left it home!

    Cost of powder.

    Elk Pictures w/ Score

    I sort of envy you guys. I always put in for cow tags to fill the freezer and have never shot a bull! Come to think of it I seldom saw bull's at all.

    Should I buy a .338?

    I've had two 338 Win Mags and a 7mm Rem Mag. What they taught me is to never get another magnum of any kind, recoil sucks! Someone mentioned shooting 210gr Nosler's in it. Probably to reduce recoil. I used 225gr Hornady's in mine but truth be known rather than 210gr bullet's, shoot 200gr bullets...

    Displaying Antique Rifles

    I was thinking the same thing but then a shadow box would be fairly simple to get into. Also if you went to the shadow box, rather than hang it, I'd screw it to the wall into studs. Rifle has to be pretty heavy. Might take a look at a much heavier glass also, little harder to break!

    Dad passed but his stuff is still here

    Ya know, your asking the wrong people although I agree with them, the one to ask is a lawyer! Shouldn't require much more than an office visit unless someone wants to fight it. But them I would think they would have a lawyer telling them, forget it. I think lawyer's are crooks but truth is they...

    Gun Show Etiquette

    Problem with gun shows out here is that most the people selling guns are retailers without a shop. Going to the gun shows takes away the need for a shop. I still like to go now and then but I seldom ever buy anything at them, prices simply way out of line!

    How important is it?

    What is BC useful for? I have an idea that for 99.99% of hunters, even just shooter's, it's nothing more than something to talk about! Someone that can hit a quarter at 600 yds can hit a quarter at 600 yds. BC is not gonna help him much. No matter the BC he's still gonna have to know how much to...
