    Extended Warranty - Yes or No

    Some excellent comments. Initially signed up for extended warrenty on my Ford 350 at the dealer, after telling them I intended to replace the bed with a flat one which the finance person said made no difference, only to read the warrenty carefully to find that ANY MODIFICATION TO VEHICLE voids...

    AZ Southern Hunt

    Please keep me in mind for this trip, usually down in Phoenix area with horses if the timing is January, have a new knee scheduled in 2 weeks so should be fit by then. Sounds like a fun HT trip.

    .270 Winchester favorites?

    I have shot 20 plus cows with a 6.8 O'Connor, various handloads 130 gr partition, 140 accubond and Barnes ( early type, behaved more like a solid, small exit wound) usually between 150-250 yards in our pastures, with proper bullet placement they never took more than a few steps if that. I liked...

    I am on Search and Rescue in Colorado for the past 12 years and can offer the following: 1. There is rarely any charge for a rescue, usually only in cases of clear and obvious bad behavior such as skiing out of bounds and getting in trouble. 2.Every hunting and fishing (plus ATV and park...

    Elk Caliber for Small-Framed Female

    the 7-08 is hard to beat, my young female friend about that size shot her first bull this year with the original 7X57 loaded to 7-08 velocity with a 145 gr grand slam at 2850, 1 shot at 200 yards. The 308 with 165 gr can do anything in North america and plenty of factory ammo (usually) to pick...

    A once in a lifetime hunt--maybe !

    That one was with Tony H and he was perhaps more proud of it than me, it was my 2nd and we must have waded 10 miles thru the swamp to get the wind we needed. I have never shot a bigger one, took 10 more years to realize how nice that one was.

    A once in a lifetime hunt--maybe !

    What I remember the most is the clear sky stars, the smell of sage being crushed under foot, the sounds and the birds! Killing became very secondary to hunting for what was around the next bend. A great suggestion on company in camp, my hunts were 3X more fun when I was with my wife, she does...

    A once in a lifetime hunt--maybe !

    Actually the lone "dugga boys" in the thick brush are the challenge, my biggest Buff at 48 inches was one we stalked for 3 days and finally got a clean shot at 20 yards, the 505 Gibbs took out the shoulder and both lungs and he still was hunting us for the next 25 minutes. Why do you think we...

    A once in a lifetime hunt--maybe !

    I second Happy's comments, we spent a few messages comparing safari notes and the incredible experiences we had with the likes of Tony Henley and the Selby's that are rapidly disappearing. I love hunting Buffalo, especially up close and personal is an adrenaline rush that is hard to beat. I have...

    Pretty & Classy rifles. Lets see them!

    My hand loads that are up around 60-62,000 psi, I would not worry about +p, I have a custom 7X57 about the same era (1950's) and I shoot loads that would be 7-08 pressure/velocity levels. The 7X57 which is the parent case for the Roberts is plenty strong as are pre 64 Model 70 actions, after...

    I will stuff a bunch in the smallest USPS box, send your address and just send me a check for the shipping, I think it is 7 bucks. I will look for anything ww2 like a M1 sling and stuff that in too if I can find it.

    I have plenty of primers (10K) (CCI bench rest lg/sm, mag pistol, small rifle (several thousand for AR with hard er cups to prevent slam fires), and various bullets /brass that will never get used by me so if you can pick up in SW Colorado I may be able to help with shortages. 50 years or...
