Excellent find and sight whittling.

Happy Birthday, Y'all

I bought my first Bianchi X-15 in the early 70s for a 1911 my uncle sold me. Very comfortable, easy to conceal, not all that secure if you are active. I think I have 5 shoulder holsters or chest holsters currently. A couple of items were issued by different agencies I worked for, most bought by me....

Paladin

Very impressive

Two days ago, I checked the scope and laser setting on this bedroom gun, an IWI SBR 12.5-inch. One of a few I have in a couple of places or vehicles in a few calibers

Well done. Yes, the weather in AZ has been great for range time.

Paladin

I have been in the habit of buying older used guns. Seems like every new gun I have bought over the last few years has problems. That being said, I have a relationship with a local dealer. Let’s just say that there are guns that go into the display cabinet to be sold in the store (and have a lifeti...

Paladin

I would have to agree.

Paladin

I have been watching what's been going on as a few friends I worked with in the Middle East live there. Sorry that I have no good news or advice to give you.

Paladin

Not here either, and have never heard of the brand.

Paladin

Depends on the target, but heavier for anything bigger than a white tail 150+ gr. 30 Cal. Moose and brown bear .350 bonded or heavier Hard Cast in .45 Cal. I believe it does help on the big ones. This moose was at 130 yards hit with a 45-70 Grizzly Hard cast bear load and walked 10 yards before it ...

My truck is a 2016 Ford F350 5.7 Turbo Diesel with 140,000 miles that I drive back and forth to Alaska and pull trailers with.

Excellent find, sorry the government is so screwed up.

I have posted about this in another post on Doubles, and just recently found a set of sights for $26.00. I thought I would add to see how it did with both barrels and slugs. Some of you had shown how your Doubles did, and I didn't even want to try with just a small bead on the front. I had installe...

A great discussion on combat handguns that many of us hunters found out through trial and error.

I use 250 gr. of anything on critters, and nothing has complained yet. I had Steve put a Red dot mount on it when he worked it over, as most of my problems are after dark. There is a guy who makes a rail mount for the Rossis that works great if you have an older one.

Correct. I walk the dogs with a rifle in the day and a shotgun at night. Primary threats to them here are Javalinia, lions, and badgers.

Paladin

The 243 has a pretty stout muzzle blast, but is a GREAT deer rifle. The 270 reaches farther and is a bit more pleasant to shoot. My first rifle was a 25-06 bolt gun. I just gave my wife a 270 Rem 700 to hunt with last year.

I agree
Here are a couple of local cubs after they left their mom.

Yes, but my son has the Celestrom 5. I am left to Night Skies in the Rockies and Night Vision when not in Alaska. We get to see many satellites, but can't ID many of them.

I am in full support, just over the drugs they transship from China.

Paladin

Well done.

Welcome from currently North Central AZ. I pass through your area a few times a year, running to the farm in Delta Junction. Most of my lever guns are large bore due to the locals up there.

I saw that and would agree on his choice of firearms. Not my idea of something I want to hunt, from what I have seen on the target. I do use those slugs for Grizzly.

She did well, GREAT Start, now she is hooked.

I have one in a shoulder holster hanging on the bed. I wish I had had it when I woke up to a guy doing a mag dump into the room I was sleeping in.

Paladin

DARN, just when I thought there was nothing else I wanted.

Paladin

Congratulations, Merry Christmas, Jim.

Paladin

I agree that the Semi-autos have surpassed the pumps. I have used 870s from the 60s on, but some autos are more reliable. I have two, one combat and one multi-use, that never fail. The combat gun is a box magazine-fed Russian 12 Ga and is better than my MP-5 out to 150 yards without the newer 12 Ga...

Paladin

I have modified a couple, only one with a hand guard on a Rossi. I put a suppressor on to walk the dogs. I have Cerakoted a few to keep them from corroding due to the weather conditions. This was my Colonel's Kalifornia assault rifle, a 16-inch 30-30, when I got transferred to his location from Afg...

Fired testing a SIG 716 in .308 this year with 150 NAS Steel case ammo.

This is where I pulled one with my M-21 ( I guess at almost 70), I don't shoot as well as I used to.

Paladin

I agree with the 'shoot it and see' approach. But as it is a new firearm contact, customer service first, and see what they say. Then, if you don't like the groups, you can try the barrel break-in process or Fire Lapping.

Paladin

Probably any shooting is good for training your mind and body. Almost. Given some of what passes for target shooting I've seen at public ranges, I have to say some shooting just reinforces horrid practices! :shock: Sad to say, I agree and avoid public ranges. I enjoy practicing my single and double...

This is the best discussion I have seen on how to "READ SOMEONE", even after having a few classes on how to do it for work.

Excellent, you would not believe how much damage the Buffalo do to the farm in Delta Junction, AK.

Paladin

Excellent gear, I have a few on lever guns. My favorite is the one with the 1913 rail for any mounts.

Thanks DOC

I understand. I was the first grandchild and spent a lot of time with my Dad's Parents. Learned how to use a team of horses, cut and make a harness, and some German.

Thanks, I got a case.

WOW, that has been on my look for list for a long time. Will keep it in consideration if I can scrape up the money.
