    Made my contribution.....

    When I was a youngster we would go to the Valley (border counties) to shoot white wing dove. We would just pull off on the county road and go at it. You could also hunt on some of the larger ranches by giving the foreman beer or other such beverages. Oilfield people like my dad knew most of...

    Couple of weeks ago I did my LEOSA retired peace officers qualifications with my new Springfield LW 1911 9mm. I like it.

    Best affordable scope

    I think a Leupold VX- Freedom 4x-12x would suffice and it will give reasonable eye relief when set a far back as will go on the Ruger #1. It's also in your price range.

    Damage Deer Down

    Guy, a hunt with an old friend is something to be treasured. Must of been a good day. BTW, I had a fellow police officer years ago that was Navy. He was medic attached to a Marine platoon in Vietnam. He never said a negative word about the Marines.

    220 Swift case issue

    OK, so here is where I'm at, I scrubbed the throat and the little taper on the fired cases persist. I did a dimensional check on the brass and found everything within spec. The cases were all new and unfired cases (Hornady flavor). The cases measured 2.195 before firing and 2.200 after. Of...
