    I just bought my European rifle for American woods deer.

    The spot on the open bolt?

    I just bought my European rifle for American woods deer.

    The gun appears to have been fired some. There is some bluing wear on the bolt's striker left side but the beauty side of the gun is the right-hand side where the bolt handle is anyway. The roll stamping is impeccable. The gun's metal surfaces were machined only after the roll stampings were...

    I just bought my European rifle for American woods deer.

    $931 on auction. No plastic modern laser-engraved-markings junk for me. You are hard pressed to do any nicer than this bolt-action-wise for under $1K. Old-world craftsmanship from Europe with old-fashioned blued steel and genuine hand-checkered wood. Sako even sounds classier than CZ. Sako...

    Do any American Boomers here remember the quality lawn mowers of old?

    I started mowing for my folks at age 11. It was 1975. Atari Pong was released in 1973. We never had one. My father said it would screw up people's television sets. We had some lawn mower called American Eagle or something with a 3-horse Briggs. Had that classic T handle instead of the newer...

    California was always more risque than Middle America. That gal in the lawn mower poster above is risque enough. What a classy chassis!!

    Since this is a hunting forum, here is an old 1951 mower made even by Savage Arms!! Yep. That was a real quality JOB, indeed!

    Do any American Boomers here remember the quality lawn mowers of old?

    Lawn mowers were even classy-looking then like women, cars, boats, Leave-it-to-Beaver neighborhoods and guns!

    Do any American Boomers here remember the quality lawn mowers of old?

    Yes, and in the 1970's, women who appeared in those looked so much more attractive and feminine than they do in this century. They were not tattooed and fat. There were no butch hairstyles or mohawks. There was no body pierced jewelry. There were no weird harstyles in orange or purple. Think of...

    Do any American Boomers here remember the quality lawn mowers of old?

    Mowing season is upon us. Spring 2023! I remember those old heavy Briggs & Stratton mowers. There were rotary ones and those ones with the barber-pole reels. Some had grass catchers on the side. They were heavy-duty and well-made. My 1907-born grandfather had one that had the side discharge all...

    Electric Fans are Eye Injury Hazards!!

    We humans cannot effectively hunt without our valuable eyesight. The hounds can sniff the game out but can they aim a gun and acquire a sight picture for you?

    Electric Fans are Eye Injury Hazards!!

    Was the fan running with the safety cage in front of the blades? Good boy to you if you were smart enough to run the fan fully assembled. My Army first sergeant once got after a room buddy of mine in the barracks for having a personal fan with the safety cage missing in front of the blades. He...

    Electric Fans are Eye Injury Hazards!!

    In my bathroom, there are two protruding front post tops on my metal wall shelf unit at the level of my face. I have a green tennis ball with a hole in it placed over each of these vertical corner protrusions to save my eyes. Be wary of sharp protrustions or corners at home or in workplace...

    I'm letting this nice Browning Superposed pass.

    or, perhaps local gun shows .... a pawn shop just wants to sell a gun to cover their interest when the hocker defaults on the loan, I think ... I'm not sure if pawn shops are ever looking to make "killer" profits on gun sales, even rare pretty stuff .... pawn shops give notorious low value for...

    I'm letting this nice Browning Superposed pass.

    https://www.gunbroker.com/item/975243497 The bid is up to $1,347 on that gun. My top bid was $1,125. I'm letting this one pass. I think I will just stick with my 1990 Mossberg 500A with checkered wooden stock as my entry-level dove gun for now. I think trying to get a nice-shape classic Belgian...

    Losing western culture in global commercialism.

    I suppose Mercury is a decent outboard. I have a Smith & Wesson SD9VE instead of a Glock. I had a 25 horse tiller Johnson on a 2000 14.50' Lowe I once bought new. Started reliably but mechanically ran a bit rough. The dealer said two-cylinder two-strokes were not expected to be smooth and quiet...

    Losing western culture in global commercialism.

    "Somebody" chose to deviate from the Classic American Dream that the post-War Fabulous 1950's was the heart of. There is always some bad apple that comes along that had to spoil an otherwise perfect barrel. What killed off the once-magnificent Roman Empire? Followers of some ancient besandled...

    Losing western culture in global commercialism.

    My 1908-Pennsylvania-born grandfather drank Lucky Lager, Hamm's and Miller High Life, The Champagne of Beers. My 1935-born father drank Olympia (Oh-Lee) and sometimes Rainer Ale and Mickey Big Mouth. I don't drink beer much but when I do it's Miller Genuine Draft from an ice-cold can or a bar...
