Not with that attitude. :sneaky:

Now that I think of it, Bobcats on the Ridge sound like it should be the title of a Bluegrass album.

That is soooo cool.

Sure thing. Hope you get some good spendin' money from them.

I'm not an expert, but I think I can answer some of your questions. The 440 round cases are likely 7.62x54r, while the 720 round case is almost certainly 7.62x39. I do not know of any milsurp that is not steel case, the question being really if they are plain or lacquered. They are all...

Sorry, can't help on the 2x7 front. Think I have a 4x on my Marlin; Bushnell? Need to check. I know it's an inexpensive scope, as I didn't think it needed to be much for a 44 mag.

I was lurking on another forum and I noticed that everyone seemed to think they needed to advertise every single firearm they owned. And better than half of them seemed to think they needed to quote one of a dozen people. I mean, I have no issue with it, but I just like poking a little gentle...

Thank you all. I've hunted a grand total of 01 bears a grand total of 01 hunts, so anything I can add to my toolkit is much appreciated. Best forum on the net.

All, I'm looking at doing another spring bear hunt in Idaho in late May to early June, but I don't want to use a guide this time. However, that creates a conundrum for me as I don't have: A tent A tent stove Pack animals Tack etc. Want to do a 2 bear area for myself and one or two others...

You will forgive me if I don't have absolute confidence in CDFW.

Depending on distance you are shooting, and your particular handgun, you may see a point of impact shift, so re-zeroing could be in your future.

And you are absolutely correct. As I said, I think those look amazing, I simply do not see that there is sufficient value in them - for me - to spend the money on them. Looking at the two side by side, I also find it interesting that the heavier bullet actually averages less penetration than...

You see a flying squirrel around, too?

Call me Mr Unadventurous, but I just use Win 115 JHP, which I didn't see on their list. I like it because I can but enough of it to shoot multiple mags through a pistol and not go bankrupt by mid-week. The HST look amazing, but is it that much more amazing than the 115gr Gold Dot, for example?

That's a sharp looking rifle, for sure. Looked it up on the website, and it seems like something I might buy for myself at some point.

Well, after a couple of very cold nights, it looks like temps are on the rise here. I was worried about a killing frost taking the blossoms off the trees, but in spite of sub 30 temps, it looks like the cherries came through. Only think the wife can think is that humidity was low enough to...

I don't do lottery tags, so OTC deer this year, and maybe spring turkey.

+1 - I have 3-4 of these scattered around. They are inexpensive enough to toss one in the range bag, have one on the bench, and another hanging around just in case. They come in a variety of colours, and will take a permanent marker so you can identify them as yours. At least, they used to...

They both look like they'd do whatever you'd ask of them. Seems like the velocity isn't much of a handicap, at least that 10 feet, but based on the extent of the expansion, I doubt 7 yards, or 27 yards would be a whole lot different.

I scribble incomprehensible notes in the margins of my load books. I'm sure it makes sense when I do it, but I honestly can't figure out half my loads now. Also, don't use pencil.
