Guy,
If I had that butt stock I would make a lamp base with it , top it with a game scene shade and it would be spectacular! You can lower shade to cover crack completely.
-21F below here in Northern Maine yesterday morning, no wind. -13F this morning no wind. However forecast is for -30F Friday nite with winds up to 30 kts. Sounds like wind chills 50/60 below Saturday.🥶
Fortunately we have lots of Rock Maple/ Beach ready for old wood stove!
Something that hasn't been mentioned yet but was first bad mistakes he made was shooting at it when it was barely out of the hole, it could have easily wound up back in there wounded...😣 That could have been huge problem either way ,dead or alive. The sad truth is like lots of folks, he was so...
Since I have never owned a .348, I probably shouldn't comment on it: However I do have a bunch of guide friends, that have luged then for decades. Got to listen to lots of .348 story's from them. I have watched my clients shoot Moose and Bear with them for years. I could see no difference in how...
Good God Scotty, I knew you were going to prance that rifle out sooner or later 🙉. That is behond just handsome, it's about in same league as a fine English gun. Classy firearm that now is owned by a pretty classy fella!
All the best buddy, very impressive.

This is the exact reason that many guides won't allow "hand loads" on Brown Bear hunts........ Polar bear guides absolutely all said NO to handloads for this very reason! They ALL had problems with them.
Shade tree; If you were ever with me on a bear hunt, and listen to the impact of a 100yd...
Well when I was a snot nosed apprentice guide back in 1970's . Old Ward Gay who had guided Kodiak since 1930's told me . " Son never more than 100 yds and never less than 50yds". He knew exactly what he was talking about. Same thing holds true today.......... Fireing at bears are 400 yds is...
175 yds. 73" Alaskan Bull one shot with 180 gr Partitions...... Plain Jane old 30/06....... One of many dozens that have fallen to that non- magnum caliber.
I used an old 6.5x55 to shoot dozens of big Red Stag on New Zealands South Isle. They are no harder to kill than a big Maine Whitetails, it would flatten em...... Ditto with the Chamois/ Thar.
I have a 22/250 under the seat of my truck. 8 twist loaded with 90 gr bullets @3000.
On wing strut of the Cub I have .243W but sometimes I reverse which gun is where. Both work equally well on winter Coyotes up to 50lbs.
An interesting note on this choices; it never ceases to amaze me how many folks own 2/3/4 MAGNUM rifles...???
However I really wonder what percentage of them will ever hunt Africa/Alaska.????? When I quiz hunters WHY they think they need one they all say " so I can take 400 PLUS yard shots".
Of...
Thanks for clearing that issue up! That all makes sense for sure! One side of me wants to always lean towards higher BC bullets like the spire pt or FTX style. BUT: in reality, for the actual distances that are practical for a 35 Remington, 150 yds/ 200 as a streach??? I think it may be silly to...
Not sure on the FTX but on the Hornady 200 gr Spire Pt Standards, I recently have found out, the canulure won't even come close to letting me crimp in it; for my old 141 Remington. With cases trimed to 1.910 and crimped in canulure, the coal was 2.550/5, however that will NOT cycle thru this...
I have these and others in 250 gr , looking for 180/220 Speers, 200 gr what ever?? Have lots of other calibers new boxes ready to trade????? Whatcha got for .358 stuff.
Tnx.

This is one of the best scams ever launched against the American people.
If you can't get their guns, what is the same thing, take away the "primers" you have accomplished the same thing! The big boys have made back room deals to forbid the sale of primers, the great lie has been, they largest...
Here are primers bought the same day I bought the 250gr Speers .
I know I was buying primers then when I had a Hazmat order for $25 per thousand...... 😱
