    New Front Sight on my S&W 629

    Today I put a new sight on my 5" S&W 629. I replaced the factory red-ramp front sight with a slightly taller, narrower Dawson Precision fiber-optic sight. It only took me about two minutes with no tools. I needed taller for the 300 grain ammo, and the more narrow front sight provides more "air"...

    Glad that these officers are being recognized:

    Not sure if this qualifies as "defensive" since these cops absolutely took the fight to the bad guy. This is just down the road from my town a ways, and I've worked with the Moses Lake PD guys & Grant County deputies in the past: Moses Lake Police Department · Five local officers receive...

    Fatal Mountain Lion Attack in California!

    My goodness! Two young men out shed hunting... Only one survived. :( I'm surprised that neither of them seems to have had a firearm. Perhaps legally carrying a gun in California is more difficult than I knew...

    First Redwing Blackbird of the year:

    Seen this morning, while walking with my bird dog along the Columbia River. So much bird activity this morning! Guy

    Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter...

    Well.... I didn't seek it out, but have been looking for one off and on for years. Would have been fine with several different big bore cartridges, but the 44 mag is a very practical choice. Ammo and components are readily available. This one was at Tyler's in Texas, from the Bob Baer...

    At the Range today with my son. :)

    My youngest son drove us to the gun club today and we had a great time together! Each of us shot 50 rounds of 22 rimfire, then we switched to our 45 1911 Kimbers and shot some more. He did some rapid fire drills while I focused on sights and trigger discipline. I'm not as "tight" as I used to be...

    Eagles

    Dog and I got out this morning for a walk along the Columbia River. Came across this mature bald eagle, with a juvenile eagle in the same general area. They'd been feeding on a deer carcass:

    Test Photo

    Just trying to load directly from my computer instead of through Imgur. Imgur seems to have made some changes I'm not real sure about. Yup, I can load directly from my computer. That makes me happy. :)

    Approaching 70...

    I know we've got some regular posters here who've reached 70 years of age and beyond. It's been cool to hear their stories, learn from them. I've been on this forum for a good long time now myself, looks like I've been here 18 years. Goodness! I'm not 70 yet, it's still a couple of years away...

    Juvenile Eagle

    This morning after hiking with the dog... This juvenile eagle showed great patience during our impromptu photography session. Posed very nicely for me. :) Guy

    Lipsey's Ruger 77 in 35 Whelen! (not buying it)

    Advertised at $1,579.00 :) - Clarification - I'm unlikely to buy one, I just saw the ad, thought it was cool, and thought I'd share with the good folks here on the Nosler forum. Looks like one heck of a rifle. Regards, Guy

    Added a light to my Marlin 1895

    Today I mounted a very bright 1200 lumen "Nightstick" light on my Marlin 1895 via a Wild West Guns light mount. It does NOT enhance the classic looks of the 1895 but it adds a lot of capability re camp defense/bear defense which is a primary role for this rifle in my life. It tags along with me...

    And Traditional

    Not to worry - we also got a set of Boyds XX walnut stocks for the Marlin 1895. :) I didn't remember that Boyds made nice walnut stocks, and maple too! The Marlin stocks took more fitting. Both the buttstock and the fore-end required additional inletting. It's not exhibition grade walnut, just...

    Non Traditional Rifle for me...

    Good grief: Story will be coming out within a few weeks. Sneak preview of my very odd looking rifle... It was already pretty far out of my norm when I hunted with a Bergara Carbon Ridge rifle this year. Muzzle brake, carbon wrapped barrel and in 6.5 Creed, with a pretty big Leupold scope...

    Accurate 5744 ?

    Has Accurate 5744 been discontinued? I see that it's listed as "out of stock" everywhere I've thought to look, including Accurate's page on Hodgdon's website. Hope it's going to be available again someday! Guy
