Got to use enough gun.!

As I recall it was later September into October. End of August you were obviously fine and yes bou is good eating. May have been dad’s work schedule but I don’t remember hunting them much early. Even recall when I was real young dad not shooting caribou when we were moose hunting. We did most of...

Caribou early is great. In the rut it stinks.

I guess between the two .22s I’d look to feeding reliability between the cases. I’ve no idea if it makes a difference in the AR platform. Definitely old school vs Gen X but really the only problem with the .22-250 is twist in the older guns. One of these days I’ll put a new barrel on mine and...

Phil I’m in tucson and don’t have my log book with me. I use Reloader 15 and I think it’s 71 grains in my rifle. Easy 1moa at 100. The load is one Guy posted a number of years ago and it seems quite popular. I’m low on 15 so I played with some H4350 just before I came down. Good velocity, not...

There are some great ranges and of course there is the desert, lot of wide open spaces. Our plan on retiring was to spend several months down here but the last two years it just hasn’t worked out. I brought a shotgun for quail and trap and a 1911. I’ve also learned that Arizona Trust land can be...

We continue to be thankful for all your support. We’ve just received word he has a strong chance at getting into a clinical trial that is showing some great promise. The kids will travel to Bethesda for a couple of days of follow up testing and again in March for a couple more tests. The...

Guy Miner and Wild Bill Hickok that would be a pair to draw too.

Excellent, I’ve been thinking of mounting something on my Springfield TRP, that whole 70 year old thing.

Son in Law has started chemo again. He did ok on his first set of infusions and will not go back to Portland for a couple weeks. The kids insisted Catherine and I take off for a bit. So we did. I haven’t spent twenty hours behind the wheel since I retired from “law enforcement. I’m not doing it...

I’ve told this story a couple of times so I’ll cut it down a little bit. With an accubond and a “proper elk cartridge” you can muff your 400 yard quartering away shot, take him at the knee, enter the body at the last rib, pick up a little gut, through the lungs and pop out the brisket on the far...

Welcome aboard, now I have to go look up Nanook actions. :) that is a new one on me.

That really looks good, well done!

A top end barrel from PAC Nor is a little over 400 bucks. Send them your rifle and they’ll instal the barrel for another 300. It will be a far better barrel than drilling a big hole in a bad barrel in my opinion. I’m looking for good wood, a 1A configuration all the better if its based on any...

Really Mr. President? How can he say such shit.

There is something about the 35. I’ve been looking for one in a number one for a while. To date they are all fetching quite a premium. I’m to the point where Im shopping for a donor, they all use the same action/receiver and send it off for new barrel. Cheaper than just buying the Whelen #1.

Why would they make it more difficult. I simply don’t understand that. But I get pissed off every time my phone gives me that message “update scheduled for tonight”. Not that I mind having my grand daughter over for dinner but I dont’ want her to think the only reason is so I can use my phone...

I’ve killed an awful lot of Mule deer with the ballistic tips, mostly 150gr. 30 cal. Been using them since they hit the market. Early on i realized they were not as tough as partitions and quickly decided I would not use them on elk. Over the years Nosler toughened up the bullet as guys like us...

Dang!

SIL had a chemo port installed last thursday over in Portland. They will go over Thursday this week for the first of his chemo treatments. Docs have been quite clear, all we can hope for is to extend his life to some degree. With luck the chemo will double his 6 to 9 month forecast. We do...
