It’s a New Haven rifle, with CRF and 24” barrel.

Well, now what. Lol. Just won a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 270 WSM for a good price. It’s in nice shape with a Nikon Monarch scope. I thought it would kick off at a higher price. Never a dull moment.

Thanks Guy, I’ll give them a shout.

Doest anyone know of someone that will build and re-barrel a Remlin 45-70. Would want the stock contour maintained and have the sights duplicated as well. It shoots great but the rifling isn't up to my liking. A factory replacement barrel wouldn't be out of the question either. I'm just mapping...

My bucket list is quite short but unfortunately not possible. That said, I’d like to have a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe chambered for 308 Winchester. A Winchester Model 100 in 284 Winchester, and a 1980’s Browning Citori in 20ga. with IC and Mod chokes. Maybe a few days in the Dakotas Pheasant...

I want to try them. It would make die setup painless when loading for multiple rifles in the same caliber.

Burris received the riflescope yesterday, and emailed me as such. Today they emailed back that it’s unrepairable and they are sending a new replacement. I’m not sure what makes it unrepairable, as it was new from box when put on the rifle. It doesn’t really make any difference though. This is...

A good 1911 will run more than a lifetime if you’ll put a drop of oil in a few spots every so often. Love it.

Is it an ongoing occurrence, or just the one time?

I still want to get a 6.5x55. Never bought one but always wanted to. Good shooting Dan!

That’s sure as heck good enough for hunting anything the 260 was made for. Great load and shooting!

Dan I have one in my right eye. Crosshairs seem to be clearer when I wear contacts instead of glasses. It’s frustrating to no end. I hope they can get you some relief soon. I’m working with the VA to try and get mine fixed.

I’ve got a cataract starting in my right eye. It’s not going to be long until the Trueglow gets replaced with a red dot. Thinking about having surgery to fix it but not sure. Getting older sucks. I don’t feel older but things just wear out I suppose. Regardless I’m really looking forward to the...

I can’t wait until April 19 which is opening morning of turkey season here. We can only hunt until noon for the first week of season. Which is nice. I putter around camp the second half of the day, or coyote hunt. I’ve tried the red dot and didn’t mind it. It worked fine. Ended up putting a...

Welcome to the group! There are great people here, and they have a wealth of knowledge to draw upon. I’d also recommend getting a couple manuals to start with, and read them. They will give you techniques to help you avoid dangerous situations, and show you the best powders that compliment your...

That’s good to know. I’ll certainly give them a look. I really like the Vanguard. I’m heading to the range tomorrow to finally shoot it. If it shoots well I’m going to get another one in 308 Winchester. It’s not really a budget rifle I suppose, but you get a LOT of rifle for what you pay.

Great looking rig you built. Can’t wait to see how it shoots. Great job.

I’ve already got my stuff together for the opener in 4 weeks. Last year I got into an argument with a particularly mouthy tom. I roosted him the night before. I was in early and he flew down just as the sky started getting light. I called back and forth with that thing for every bit of 3 hours...

That’s absolutely beautiful. How does it sound? Still to this day, Orange Osage is useful in making longbows too. It’s really dense and resists taking a bend permanently. Indians in the Appalachian’s, and Ohio Valley areas used it extensively for this. There are still bows made from hedge apple...

It never crossed my mind that it was the scope. It was new from a sealed box, and I’ve never had a hiccup with Burris at all. I guess it happens to them all. I’ll see what they have to say once it’s checked out.
