I'm not surprised, This is the kind of thing that happens when liberals are in charge. They think that since they are "enlightened" that means they should be in control of your life in every aspect. Removal of your personal rights Government intrusion into your life decisions made from...

What a brute Sounds like quite an adventure for you guys. chs

It's so hard to compare scopes inside a store, doing that does not always tell the story. Leupold is still throwing out more lines of scopes. Anyway, enough griping about the Leupold marketing department..................... I own three conquests and three leupold scopes and love all of...

Jamila, I remember that post, assuming it was here???? Your mum restless.................who would have thunk that??? :>)

[/b] I think this is good advice, the goal of this rifle is not the nth degree of accuracy at any cost. The stock will be fitted to suit me as a dangerous game rifle able to use iron sights; it will be ammo that will fire & feed flawlessly in high heat, the right bullet and behind all that...

Nothing worth having comes easy............................... I'm like a bull dog, once my teeth are sunk in I do not let go. :>)

Jamila, You let that poor lady know that I loaded up 4 different columns of ammo for it's first trip to the range. The third column gave me 1/2"..................... load development started and ended that day! :>) A month later it went on a hunt and knocked down a pretty darn nice...

Cheyenne, I'm hoping there are some elk left. Both Dan and Tom are hunting just east of my location and I believe Rod is as well. All the week before I get there. There is a chance that all I'll see is a bunch of big boot prints, gut piles and the smell of burnt powder in the...

Pics, by that time I hope to have flushed PB down the drain. :>)

There is a better chance of "hillbilly Jack" being invited back to one of your family reunions than drawing a bull elk tag in PA.......................... :lol:

The original completion date was next spring. However, Dave is doing well with it and thinks he can have it ready the end of this year. OK by me! It will be nice to have that thing done and a load underway. Even though I suppose I'll start loads in May or June so as to mimic Africa...

It's time to start ordering this stuff and am looking for some advice. So far I have read where IMR-4831 is a good powder for keeping velocities good while pressures down. My goal is a 400 grain bullet at 2400 fps. Maybe 2300 but, no more than 2400 even though some are getting 2600 fps...

I remembered, "he" left no stone unturned when it came to harassment. And it would be hard to argue against the 300 H&H as the best cartridge. I could but, it would be splitting hairs. I also think highly of the 35 whelen. Don't own one but it was where I was headed when planning on...

And Tom, If you do another hunt here in Texas and drive back you'll need a good chest. I've seen late November/early December in the 70's and the teens.............one never knows.

I recall well the events of what happened back then. This is not the place for all that so I'll only say that several good folks were harassed for race, gender, religion and just not sucking up enough to suit the culprit. Years have passed and one thing is for sure, all the folks that were...

Tom, I found that dry ice was easy to get at the local grocery store. Of course, that was Montrose which is a town of some size. Do yourself a favor and let the person selling it put it in a bag for you, then do as Jim says. If you touch it even for a split second you will be burned. It...

My wife's view is hunting is "yucky" or some such. She does understand my love for it and goes out of her way to do her part so that I can hunt. While I wish we shared that interest I am grateful she does not hinder my affair with it. Only speculation but I really believe that Cheyenne is...

Tom, Don't be overly concerned with a large pack being too big and "unwieldy". Those packs cinch down in several areas plus, the top can come off too. That keeps the pack tighter and compressed if you will. My pack is large and able to handle enough to keep me out for a week but, it can be...

I drink very infrequently, and don't smoke (never have). I do have it on good account that you do know how to enjoy a scotch or two or three. Especially when hanging around a camp fire watching a mutual friend get all fired up before hitting the Prowler. Just saying! :lol:

Got to agree with Pat, like when have I not??? :>) I've spent many miles carrying a load on my back (not tico) and the pack has to fit you so that it rides close while dispersing pressure over a larger area. I've had ill fitting packs and one day I fixed all of that by buying a Dana Design...
