I will also endorse a pack of baby wipes. Not only are they worth their weight in gold on the backside... but after dressing an animal out, two or three of them go a long way in wiping any blood off your hands and arms. Another essential I never leave the truck without is a roll of...

While I have no want to hunt a lion, I believe a muzzleloader can produce the "power" to subdue one with one shot. My elk load of 115 gr Blackhorn 209 under a .458 350 gr Kodiak/orange MMP sabot produces speeds/ballistics/energy that are identical to the 45/70. If you can't take it with a...

Very nice write up Guy. An Epic Adventure for sure! When I worked at Harley a few of my riding buddies rode from Seattle up to Alaska on their bikes. Then took the ferry back. They loved it.

Scotty makes a great point about gaiters. I also wear them constantly. Wet meadow grass in the mornings will get you soaked from the knees down if you don't have them on. They also do a great job when crossing streams. If you misstep and find yourself in water above your boot tops, but...

Congrats Tom! For starters, coming from a fellow Easterner who has taken a few elk and mulies all with the legendary .270, grab some Partitions. No I am not bashing the BT's. I have just personally seen what the Partitions have done out of a .270 to elk at 200 yards and 30 yards, mulies the...

Yeah those claws mean business. Great hunt Guy and well deserved!

Absolutely Breathtaking Guy! Great Pics! Great Story!

Yes he good Dr. Mike beat me to a reply. I have done three stocks before, but those were all machined rough inlets. This is my first attempt at a blank to finished stock. Thanks for the kind words. I spent most of my childhood watching my gramps ( machinist) work on stuff in the basement...

Hey thanks Earle! The flooring is bamboo. I just laid that floor ( about 800 square foot) in 1/2 of the basement that I finished last summer/fall. It really looks nice and it is pretty durable. Marine tex is some great stuff for sure.

To set the backstory, back in 2002 I purchased a Classic Super grade .270 at Jays Sporting goods in Gaylord MI. Love that rifle. In the fall that rifle dropped a 32 inch wide mulie in his bed 6 or 7 miles above Edwards Colorado. Came back to Ohio and took the super grade apart and cleaned...

This is great stuff Scotty. You sure you don't want to move to Missouri and you can be the metal/load developement/barrel guy and I run the walnut end? I bet in the end though we would just sit around and drink beer, eat alot of venison/elk steaks, and just talk guns. Probably not good for...

Guy I do have snap caps for most of the rifles and handguns in the stable, and use those with the kiddos all the time to explain how a particular firearm works. I also do have dummy rounds made up and I just used them the other day actually. I just got done cutting/filing some pillars down...

What a pig! Absolute stud bull. Looks great in the corner too by the way! Awesome taxidermy right there.

I struck out this year. I only put in for elk. Between me ( non res) and my partner ( res) we put in for a crap load of tags. He puts in for everything available for both him and his wife and my three elk choices. Between us he drew one tag. Coues deer with rifle. On to Colorado I guess...

Dead sexiness right there. As I said before, the red pad just sets it off for me. Classic lines and classic looks. I would not want to be on the receiving end of that round.

One comes to mind from recent years. 6 miles deep into the Pecos Wilderness and 15 minutes before legal shooting light on the second morning of the Oct 10-14th Bull Elk season in New Mexico. I am standing there in the middle of a meadow as a magnificent 6x6 is standing at 209 yards...

Thumper right there. Great shooting Scotty.

That has got to put a huge smile on your face Guy!! Awesome stuff.

I am a sucker for nicely figured women... er I mean walnut :grin: Seriously I have one M70 in a Boyd's laminate, and one M70 in a Winny synthetic. All the rest are walnut. I think the same as David ( 6mm), as long as the stock is bedded/pillared and sealed correctly, the POA should not...

Guys I have been using the Frankford Arsenal trimmer for a few years now. Everything comes with it to trim darn near any bottleneck I can think of. And gosh Darn It Cabelas has it on clearance right now for 135.00. http://www.cabelas.com/product/FRANKFOR ... 6CQ_st%3Db I was just telling...
