    Ruger Blackhawk revolver 45 long colt, everything but new

    Congrats on the new gun. The .45 Colt, with proper loads/ammo can be a real tack driver. These are 5 shot groups at 25 yards using an RDO to aid in precise shooting. In this case these were .45 Cowboy Special loads. Here are some 270 grain Keith hardcast SWCs at 900 FPS from my Flattop:

    Would anyone else care to give praise to the .308 ?

    Yep, I use a .308 more than anything and it fills my freezer year after year. No drama.

    Looking for a good elk/deer .308 rifle

    The Tikka in .308 is hands down my favorite "all around/do everything" bolt action. Without a doubt, I would go that route. Super accurate and smooth functioning. Simply rock solid. I call them the Glock 19 of the rifle world. My daughter and I each have 20" T3s for elk/deer gun and they...

    Favorite Elk Calibers

    I have used a puny little .308 for years. It seems to work fine as the elk keep falling over.

    Another levergun on the bench

    Definitely slim the fore-end. I will say there is something already cool about the look of a well used lever gun. Looking forward to this.

    Scary evil black semi-autos you own. Let's see'm.

    It is good that you have such faith in both your police and military. As both someone with extensive experience overseas, and a now retired LE, I don't share that same faith in the police arriving in just a few seconds to save the day if a criminal or multiple criminals are intent on doing me or...

    Thank you. I have looked for one of those for a while. Recently found this one and am quite happy with it. Perfect skinning/all around/do everything knife.

    It was good enough to take me to the world 3 gun championship in Las Vegas, so I suppose the bumper sticker must be working.😎

    Hands Down, The Browning Auto 5 is my favorite shotgun. It is the first shotgun I reach for to hunt with, and the first shotgun I reach for, for home defense.

    Best hunting sidearm?

    Yes totally stock barrels. In 9mm I have probably run 30K + rounds through stock 9mms barrels. In .45 ACP, in the last 30+ years, due to shooting USPSA, instructing, and a whole bunch of etcetera, etcetera, etcetera's, I have put very well in excess of 100K rounds through a few different stock...

    Best hunting sidearm?

    I am frequently in big bear, as well as wolf and mountain lion country. I have had lions steal my meat I had hanging, shredding a game bag, and just a couple years ago, I had a lion following me as I was carrying out quarters of a cow elk from a very steep, very brushy draw. I was carrying...

    New Hand Cannon

    And mellower .44 Special 240 grain Hard Cast SWCs at 900 FPS, which can do most things a guy needs to accomplish with a big bore. Much easier on your hands, and makes shooting precisely easier as well. Congrats on the new N Frame! S&W .44s are fantastic and are truly heirloom quality...

    New Hand Cannon

    The .44 Magnum can be loaded up of down the power scale and is a very accurate cartridge. It is absolutely capable of sub 1" groups at 25 yards provided that the shooter is. Choosing ammo appropriate for the chore is essential as is lots of practice. I am in my 50s and have own and been...

    Scary evil black semi-autos you own. Let's see'm.

    Hands down, my all time favorite S&W auto. A very rare, Gen 3. 4563 CQB from the performance center. From what I gather a very small number ever hit the consumer market like the one shown. Less than 120. It is a hand built PC gun and shoots like it. 4" barrel, aluminum frame DA/SA and amazing...

    Can Cannon! Nice! I just posted over on the 24hour Campfire where I usually hang out that I have a BUNCH of 5.56 blanks if you are interested. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/17670460/re-5-56-m200-lake-city-blanks#Post17670460
