I have never applied out side of Oregon, Montana or Wyoming but the idea of hunting Pennsylvania for elk is intriguing. Given I’m 70 I’m likely to remain in Oregon wondering if I’ll ever draw a tag in Pennsylvania. :) What the heck, if the cost isn’t too high and you’re in that area why not...

An RCBS jr. From about 1970 +/- and then last year upgraded or added the Forester Co ax. Also have a Dillon I use for pistol.

Like the buffalo nickel. Perfect bullet performance.

As noted the vertical grip came into vogue with the precision rifle series.

I love the Roberts. Mom got one for her birthday when we lived in Alaska, would have been 60 or 61 I think. She never killed a moose or bear with hers but she did kill caribou and quite a few mule deer and a few elk with hers when we moved to Oregon. She was a fine shot with that old Remington...

Well we’ve had a great winter and will be heading home this coming Sunday or Monday. Taking a route we’ve not taken before, sliding east through the White mountains, using mainly county roads until we pop out on the interstate 75? Crossing the green river in Utah. Took our last big hike of the...

Back in high school ( early 70s) I was using Partitions (180 out of an 06) and my best friend was using 160 ? Corelokt out of a 7mm mag. Both killed elk cleanly and I don’t recall any of the elk we killed being any deader than the other. He was using the same bullet for deer while I used the 150...

I started using 150 gr. Ballistic tips out of an 06 when they came out. Killed an awful lot of mule deer with it. I’ve also used it to good success in the 257 roberts and 7x57. Simply a great deer antelope bullet. Nosler did toughen them up some as folks started using them on elk. My favorite...

I wonder about the green when hunting fall bears in the Alders, spring bears not such a big deal the buds are just coming out. A friend of mine has a Trijicon and tried the green dot. He didn’t loose the dot but he never got over the idea he was going to loose it. Not quite apples to apples in...

That, 6 pounds of fibroids, is amazing. Im sure she will be feeling much better soon.

Hell just go buy it. If you don’t you’ll be 70 like me, wishing you had bought it while you were still working and it was so much less expensive.

Also very good in the 7x57. Easy getting 140 Accubonds to2950 and 150s to 2900.

Dale, I don’t know anything about the Garrison but in about 2008 I bought 100 Springfield's for my department, had a lot of folks interested in giving up their Glocks. I havent had my coffee yet but I believe they were the TRP. I retired in 2011 but at that time there had been zero issues with...

We always manage to find a few but I don’t recall it being a banner day.

It is amazing how much work you can do with a small tractor…..now that mine has been through everything in the regeneration system I can keep it running. $ tractors, I’m jealous!
