Impressive story of the hunt and an admirable young man. Best wishes to him. Really sharp mount. Best wishes with the shoulder. Surgery is no longer an option on mine.... good for you getting after it. All the best! CL

Goodness sakes is that a 10ga sir!?!? You are serious about reaching out and touching some one! 😆 Glad you had a good walk! CL

Sounds like an opportunity for a challenging unique hunt...and with your daughter.... Makes me emotional. You must have done something right Dad. Enjoy on all fronts and let us know how it goes! CL

I am once again humbled by the story of some one who lived effectively in service to others. Also thankful again for some one who served in my stead. Sorry for your loss... CL

Jason- That sure is a handsome animal. You look like one pretty happy hunter. Was he hanging out in that clear cut or is that just where he ended up? CL

Hey Dan- Thats great! Really nice "utility" rifle that is also pretty, and apparently performs well. "Beware the man with one rifle..." Sounds like may have just become a one rifle, rifleman. Nice! CL

My issue with the AB is that they dont come in enough weights in .257 cal. - CL

You will OCCASIONALLY hear of a BT not making it through a shoulder blade or other large bone on this forum but it is rare. Weird things occasionally happen with bullets, be they 12 ga. slugs o ballistic tips. The advice you've heard here seems sound to me. 130 Gr anything out of a 270...

Impressive record, interesting piece, nice buck! The 260 is an underrated round! CL

I skimmed this post so I confess that I may have missed the answer to the underlying question. Nope- I would not tumble loaded rounds. The smith who fixed my 250 Sav, shared that in his youth, during gunsmithing school, he was acquainted with a guy who tumbled loaded 30-06 rounds. According...

I started out looking for a 25-06, the 250Savage just found me sooner. (see my recent post about the 250.) Say what you will, there's a long list of people who think the 25-06 shoot well above its weight for all the reasons noted. Less recoil may be one of them. CL

Know and shoot w/ people who work for Federal. Reality is, as has been noted, most our ammo and components are now sourced outside of this country. Between the EPA and the profit margin- the future of the sport and our rights are being sold over seas.

Writing briefly to share about the passing of my wifes uncle. John went home to be with his Lord about a week ago. Back about 1987 I asked him to help me look for a rifle, as I wanted something in .25 cal and they were a lot more common back home in SD. He knew I needed something with minimal...

Extinction- perhaps...excavation for sure. Just aim at the top of the hole and that thing will move dirt like a D-8 Cat I'm thinkin' CL

Well that sucks- good that you didnt hit your head. Players for good recovery. CL

Or there's this one. My first real "long ranger" (longer than the Daisy anyway) Circa 1975. Put new seals in her this summer. Wont hold a charge quite like it used too, but still makes me smile. Untold thousands of shots and lots of optimism. . ;) (Image should be rotated a 1/4 turn left.)CL

Well - I wasnt gonna but Wyo's post made me smile and Guy said it best, "I grin a lot" when I use it. Savage 93FV, 3lb trigger worked, Boyds "Dakota will" stock, Vortex 4-12 AO.

Hmm- I expected a "Bee" that could target the next township.... 🤔 :) CL

D@ng! And to think- Heaven is more beautiful than that..... Thanks for sharing. CL

Wow! Probably could never afford something like that even if your guy is "reasonable". However may need to get your guys contact info. Will be watching with interest. Good on you for maintaining those old rifles. My friends rifle could use some new the wood work. CL
