Awesome weekend Dr. Mike! Noah is learning some very valuable lessons and is passing with flying colors!

The Murray collection of Winchesters is one of the greatest out there boys. Peter was an airline pilot so he used to go all over the country in search of everything winchester. He would go to a gun show, find a Winny he really liked, then send his wife and young son over to the table and play...

I just dug out the magazine. The Murray's were personal friends of numerous Winchester exec's who helped them aquire numerous rare winchesters and had many rare configurations made for them as well.

Went out and sighted in the muzzleloader a few weeks ago, switching over to Blackhorn 209 from American Pioneer Powder. I ordered some MMP orange sabots, and I had 350 gr Hornady's, Speer's, and Kodiaks. I started out at 90 grains of BH and the Hornady. Groups were good, running 1.25-1.5 at...

I shot a Missouri 300 pound whitetail in 2011 from a distance of maybe 20 yards completely facing me. Load was a 130gr Partition around 3000 FPS. At the shot the buck rocked back on its haunches and fell over. Upon skinning and butchering I never found the partition even though there was no...

That is very generous Tobey. I may have to take you up on the long range practice. I know there is a lot of BLM close by, and I have the maps, but I want to make sure I am no where near the Pueblos. I have heard through the grapevine that they take your weapons and ask questions later if they...

No I didn't Dr. Mike. The range is a public range and the range officers really give you a hard time about using the chrono. I plan on hitting the desert soon out on BLM of National Forest and set up the chrono.

Holy Cow those are some great groups. But you missed the bullseye every time! I would sell that rifle and get one that shoots :) Great shooting man!

I was able to get her out and shoot her. :grin: Scoped up in some Talley Low's with the C4 Burris. This was the first load down the pipe after bore sighting. 180 gr BT;s over 67 of IMR 4350 in brand new Winchester brass: Those are seven consecutive shots " walking the scope". The last...

You could also look at the Delorme Inreach. I have looked at bunches of GPS's and if you want to stay connected with family in areas of no cell, the Delorme will allow you to text and receive text, send SOS, and GPS all with satellite use. They also allow you to pay as you go for the satellite...

Thanks Gerry! Yes we moved to ABQ NM back in November. New job. This afforded my wife to stay at home with the kiddos. LOVE LOVE LOVE being close to the mountains. Literally 15 minutes from Mulies, antelope, coyotes, quail, and jackrabbits and only 45 minutes from Elk.

Now for the finishing. I went with what I used in the past, True Oil and Armor All. It went on great, but when I started the checkering process the finish started flaking off in huge pieces. I proceeded to checker the stock 3/4 of the way done and then strip the finish to redo. Here is the...

I salvaged a grip cap from a Supergrade stock and went to work fitting it as well: Now to contour into the but. Cabinet scrapers and small files work great for this. I also cut down on the angle that the cap sat, basically shortening up the grip 3/16 of an inch. Now for the stock...

Well it has been a work in progress for some time now. Started in Missouri last year, and finished here in New Mexico. I bought this 1959 Alaskan from a well known model 70 dealer on the east coast about 2 years ago and when I got my hands on it I was really upset. The stock was cracked at...

I will be carrying the 50 cal Pro Hunter Muzzleloader loaded with either 350 Kodiaks, 350 Speers, or 350 Hornady's, or 300 Hornady's. Bear tags are over the Counter here in NM where I am hunting elk and as long as the quota isn't met yet, I will have both tags in my pack.

I have seen nothing but great results accuracy wise with the 286 Partitions from you fellas on here with a 9.3 already. Can't wait to see your results Dewey! Nice!

Looking Great Dewey!

I drew Muzzleloader Bull elk for the Oct 10-14 hunt in Unit 45 here in New Mexico. Thats about it for me. With baby girl number 4 coming early August I am putting all my eggs in this basket. It has been the wettest spring early summer here in ABQ and NM for that matter for a few decades...

Yeah that will work just fine Scotty. Tons of downrange energy to put meat on the ground. Nicely done.

Bret I only have one experience inletting a "VIP" stock. It was not done well by Boyds. When the action was sitting in the stock, the barrel was touching one side of the barrel channel, with a huge gap on the other side. It took some time, but I was able to remove a bit of the tang area that...
