I carry mine in a Safepacker pretty much everywhere I go. And, yes, it is a knuckle-crusher with fullhouse loads if you're not in a good Weaver.

If one simply must "flick" the 3-pos safety forward to fire, try putting a tiny section of rubber tubing or an O-ring around the safety "handle." It will deaden the sound of the impact. This safety is meant for purposeful manipulation, and not simply being released by the dominan...

Per dollar, I'd say the Seagulls are actually more guitar than any Takamine. You are in no way undergunned with the Seagull.

I think they're the current "Pet Rock" of the shooting world. 1. They don't increase sight radius. Strike 1. 2. They actually obscure more of the sight picture than regular open sights. (Wow!) Strike 2. Two strikes and you're out, in this case. To enjoy the true benefits of an aperture sig...

Unless letting it heal wrong and having them re-break it later sounds good to you, have it done now and start the recovery process ASAP.

Interesting guitar. All the Takamine's I've ever seen have been dreadnoughts or variations thereof. Never seen a jumbo before.

Why get rid of it? If you're like me, the same mindset applies to guitars as it does to guns: get, acquire, hoard...never sell.

Yep, and I was somehow able to sneak in here, as well.

The problem was not going into Iraq; it's what the leadership decided to "accomplish" once we got there. The article from Stratfor below was written over three years ago, and has only become truer with age. " Iraq: New Strategies May 17, 2004 By George Friedman Last week, Stratfor pub...

Note well that, yes, .375 brass is shorter, but it's also beefier down at the web. This means smaller internal capacity than .38-55 brass, which thus means higher pressures than when using .38-55 brass with any given load. Be careful out there.

scott

I've always been of the opinion that the #3 stock is of a poor design for a cartridge of that magnitude. If I had one, it'd turn into a great little .38-55 carbine.

That being said, there was one that sat at McBride's in Austin for awhile and I was still tempted every time I saw it.

Looks a little too vulnerable to ol' Murphy's Law. I think I'll stick with a good pair of boots and a canoe.

This one likes 37.5 grains of Re-7 in a .375 case lit by a Fed210 primer, topped with a Hornady 220-gr. There must be some magic in that sequence of 3-7-5.



scott

Yes, thank you very much. Mucho appreciado.

scott

Yep, when it's come to the point that we've short-circuited people's desire for self-preservation we've basically written our own society's death sentence. Simply unbelievable.

What we really need is to make everywhere a "lemming-free" zone. At VT, it was nutjob vs. 26,000 people. A handful (or more) of motivated individuals, even those deprived of their right to properly arm themselves, should've been able to rush that whack-o and physically take him down. One, ...

John Stossel, the host, is a good guy and if he's involved it just might be a solid segment. Here's the name of one of his books: "Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media" In this book he discusses why gun laws don't an...

An amazing sequence, for sure.

Apparently they didn't get the memo on it being "your" moose.

Hey, why not Brake Cleaner or Birchwood-Casey GunScrubber?

I thought the terrain looked familiar. We have a place near London in Kimble County. Where'bouts are y'all?

He looks very well fed. Where did the hunt take place?

Very nice, indeed. Congrats to her.

Was the dominant darker buck around anywhere???

scott

What's the hombre in the middle carryin'? That "mannlicher" stock has my curiosity piqued.

Two shots??? At 58 yards? Why, pray tell?

How did he taste?
