    It took 4 years, but I got one.

    Here it is. That is a VX III 4.5-14X40 AO on Sako high rings. Might have to ge shorter rings as it looks like it's on stilts, but it still comes up really nice. JT.

    Went to the gun show with money in pocket.......

    I had a CZ 550 and have a zkk CZ 602. They take a 19mm dovetail ring if I recall correctly. CZ makes one and Leupold makes a better version of it. The CZ has a single screw going up vertically thro the base to hold the ring in place. IT isn't accessable without the bases comeing off and does...

    The Modern Hunting Rifle.

    Compelled?? I beleive that the Bloc Quebecois is crying wolf for the most part, but many MP's and PM's find them compelling....... It's a d*m**d shame that this thought even surfaces in ones' mind. However, if the CPC(assuming they eventually get a majority) doesn't mend some fences that have...

    I may have to eat crow

    The M70 is a great rifle, but much like violins and wine, better with age. I can't speak for the new ones, I've barely handled one & never fired one. I did own a couple of m70 Shadows, one a 7wsm and the a 25 Wssm. I no longer own either. The 7WSM shot well after some trigger work and load...

    Jacket Wall Thickness Consistency (How Important it is)

    It's pretty hardnot to like that 0.640 BC. If you could keep us updated on whether or not that is accurate I'd be interested. I've had a box of them sitting on my bench since spring and have only fired about 10 of them. I haven`t had time to do more. JT.

    The Modern Hunting Rifle.

    LOL, yeah. If only the Canadian Senate was at least an elected house with 2 or 4 seats assigned per province. I think that would even it up a bit, but am doubtful of it ever happening. JT.

    A COUNTRY HARD ON THIS OLD MAN

    Thanks, for posting to this pictures. I really enjoyed seeing the wild country. Glad you had a good time even tho you didn't fill the tag. As you've said, the hardest trophy won is always the sweetest, sometimes the memory marks on rifle or skin are the only things we take away from a memorable...

    Would you trade labor for hunting access to farmland??

    I've only got a 1/4, but it's enough to hunt a little bit. I had a couple guys and a young kid about 12-14 shooting geese over the slough across the road from my 40 acre oat field. They having a hard time retrieving a goose from about 50 yds from shore. They were using a fishing rod with a big...

    The Modern Hunting Rifle.

    Dr Mike, as I'm sure you already know the laws governing firearms in Canada are wacky/illogical, written by people who had a good idea of what they wanted to do, but not understanding what they were doing at the same time. The AR 180B(not the sterling built ones, those are prohibited and never...

    Would you trade labor for hunting access to farmland??

    Something like 15-30 hours, not the whole summer.

    Would you trade labor for hunting access to farmland??

    Offer to work during the summer and double any time out there as scouting.

    Would you trade labor for hunting access to farmland??

    Alot of hunters only have access to public lands, which get crowded and are subject to alot of hunting pressure. Meanwhile, alot of farmland is closed to hunting due to a variety of things. Most farmers have alot of negitive things happen to their property and stock as a result of people...

    It took 4 years, but I got one.

    4 years ago, I sold a very nice 7mm Rem mag, Sako 75 SS/syn to my brother to pay for a honeymoon. Now I won't say I regret that, but I did miss that rifle and have looked for one for the past 2 years, especially after shooting it again a couple times in 07 or 08. So, I sold my AR(dang things...

    7mm rem mag & 160gr accu's

    That 160 Accubond has a very high BC, it's listed @ .531 in the range you're using it, but there are guys running that bullet a bit faster than normal and seeing a decent increase in BC at higher velocities. JT.

    M14's and variants

    Has anybody here ever played with M14's? We in Canuckistan are not supposed to be able to get or use them being the fearsome tool of war that they are....snicker now :wink: ... However, Norinco of the PRC bought the tooling from Winchester's wartime production and proceeded to make and sell an...

    Very cool. Took my wife hunting last year for the first time, but she won't clean anything. Might have to show her this...... JT.

    WHY DO WE RE-INVENT THE WHEEL?

    LOL, I would agree to an extent. IF Winchester had ceased development of new products in 1963 and kept the old M70 to those specs I would have loved to keep riding on those wheels...... Even if only the 4 magnums they had developed up until then were all they were chambered in: 264 win, 300...

    New Medium bore....What to get??

    Here is a rifle that would make a nice 358 NM. I found a Husquvarna 1600 mauser rebarreled to 270 wby, it's only 24" tho. It comes with redding dies, 2 boxes of 2x brass and rings. Somebody wants to trade me for my 375 ICL. I'd take the husky along with cash or a Ruger single six he's got for...
