Here we go again... 2006 Lumbar Fusion cages rods and screws S1-L4. 2018 same on L4\L3.
This time "just" Discectomy on L3\L2. Outpatient surgery. In and out same day tomorrow. A fusion of that level is coming but the goal is pushing it out as much as possible. This is my future...
I replaced a Savage 93R17 BTVSS that I sold many years ago. I felt I needed a 17HMR again. This one is the blonde laminated stock. I'll have a scope mounted Friday and probably get a couple boxes of ammo thru it before I call it done for the day.
Easy way to get more trigger time right...
Nice sunny day, so I took out 22LR, 22WMR and a 17WSM in the backyard. Moved a shooting bench to 50 yds. Wife came out with her 17HMR. We proceeded to enjoy the next hour. The WMR is the new Henry and I think it's a 50 yd 1" gun with the ammo I have.
I did run across a Sav 93R17 BTVSS. I...
In our family we have been taking deer with a 6.5 bullet for almost 56 years now.
All 140gn - Core-lokt, NBT, NPT, NAB. On deer any decent bullet will work. Now of the two you have I really like that Gold Dot in its various forms. I've just not used it in a 6.5 but have no reason to believe...
I went up to Cabela's in Post Falls to transfer that Henry single in 45-70. Picked up some powder and a box of 350gn FP Hornady.
I also grabbed some 22WMR ammo since I purchased the display model Henry steel lever. Got 10% off. Cleaned up both guns. Shot about 20 rounds out of the 22...
The intent of my use is for play and elk and maybe bear over bait. Just a firm hunting load would be all I need.
Not trying to knock down a T-Rex. Ha
Thanks again for all the responses.
What a bummer, received email that the order is cancelled. In processing, inventory went to zero. Oh well....
I was considering the single shot 45-70 before and almost purchased it instead, so I checked and it was still there. I kicked it around for a few minutes and ordered the Henry Single...
I step on the 60 year line soon. Very fortunate that I'm healthy ... just broken. Going on my 3rd back surgery this spring. I'll be back up and running in no time again.
Seems like just the other day I was walking in the Northern Minnesota woods chasing snowshoe hares and grouse at 10 years...
Running Quickload for a 45-70 .. at what pressure would I set it for in a modern lever gun. SAMMI is what 28K? To get published velocities I bring it up to 55K and 60K.
Is this right?
With my Cabela's Bucks I spent $137 for a Henry steel framed 45-70. Waiting a long time to find a hunting version of this gun.
Now to decide if I put a red dot on it or not.
Its the H010G model - walnut \ blued round barrel \ recoil pad . Hunting style lever rifle.
I'm excited to try something...
We've had Tacoma, Rav4, 4Runner and Tundra's in our family. Had Dodge diesels (son still has one). My diesel is a Chev 3500. For daily run rigs its been mostly Toyota. Zero repairs so far. Toyota is always a good bet
Enjoy
Now that elk and deer season is over, my wife was getting restless today and asked lets go for a ride or a walk. Well since my left knee made the decision we went for a ride up on the ridge. I grabbed a cup of coffee and away we went. It was 30 degF and windy today. First rock we came across...
