Grew up with one, thought I'd inherit it eventually. However, I think my nephew will wind up with it.

I love pump .22 rifles! I really like the 1906 Winchester, but they're all fun.

I really, really hate heavy rifles. The Accustock, and barrel with nut weighs 8 lbs, add in an action, recoil lug, scope mounts, rings, scope, and loaded magazine and I'm going to be pushing 11 lbs if I don't cut the barrel down. I knew this barrel was going to be heavy, but the price was...

I'm currently building a Grendel on a Stevens 200 action. The pre-owned barrel I bought needs to go on a diet, I'm going to shorten it by 9.5" and see how that works. The 26" Varmit profile has just the barrel weighing in at 5.6lbs.

I wish more rifles were still offered in .250 Savage! I should play with mine more.

.250 & .300 Savage both kill way better than they should. .30-30 Win, people forget that we once killed a lot of game with one.

Kevin is one hell of a nice guy. Great gunsmith as well.

Local guy does them about 15 miles round trip to his house. $80 on the elk, charges a little less for pronghorn and deer. Usually takes him about 7-10 days to get us a skull back. He just does the skulls not any other forms of taxidermy.

She got the horns back yesterday, and she's still smiling! 20190927_141100 by taylorce1, on Flickr

My buddies son sent that along for a good luck charm, we promised him a picture with it if we got an elk.

My daughter drew a Muzzle Loader tag for a bull elk this year in a any bull unit. I had had problems finding a front stuffer that my daughter liked. Muzzle loading is a foreign concept to my daughter so I started asking around on a bolt action ML to get something similar to what she was used...

Unfortunately there isn't a cheap way to lighten up an MRC rifle. You van either spend a lot of money to save a few ounces, or you can sell it and buy a light rifle. I'd probably look for a Kimber Montana or Hunter as a cheaper option than putting your current rifle on a weight loss program. A...

My buddy has done it the last two years, he uses a 1903 in .400 Whelen. If you want his email address just PM me.

Nice rifle, much better done than my .300 Savage on M93 Mauser. Of course mine was put together by some amateurs, but it still shoots pretty well. Does your rifle clock on close? If it does I can't recommend a conversion to cock on open enough, not that it does anything but improve the feel...

Boyd's isn't the only one making stocks for the 1917, Richard's Microfit makes them as well. MPI makes a hand laid fiberglass stock, but I can't access their web page right now to look at the styles. The biggest problem with 1917/P14 stocks is most stock makers only offer for original military...
