sorry to come off like a wet blanket... but my problems with that 308 Belguim gun were real.. I felt bad about selling it to anyone... but had a straight talk with the young guy that bought it, and it he was gonna use factory ammo...(even some factory would not chamber).. got $550 for it a couple of...

Brace yourself for problems unless you are an advanced handloader.. small base dies... set back dies (sizeing die trimmed back ten thousandths to set back the shoulder to sub-saami specs..((dangerous if you have another 308)) ) I had an early Belgium one and sold it as it was too much trouble.. no c...

If you guys want the straight dope on crossbows, google up Wyvern Creations... give the owner a call and be prepared to get real good advice.. he was the guy that sold me my Excaliber Vortex .. never got a bum steer from David.. and don't be putting a bolt up against a tree and pulling the trigger.....

Griff, that was pretty profound for a transportation technician (truck driver)... but I guess we have a lot of time to think if we turn off our XM radios..... Les (another transportation technician)

Les Staley

Pdogshooter, I'm with you.. I'm not paying to hunt something that is a problem to the landowner. How's about paying me to come and clean a few out of your woodlot?? I can be reached at lesstaley@gmail.com Les

I cheat a little.. load ftx 160s in my 308..(Ruger Hawkeye..sorry..) swung the scope on a flat-out-running-like-his-tails-on-fire whitetail buck in Idaho last week... passed his nose with the crosshairs, touched off, never broke stride, swung again just as he hit the timber, touched off and he cartw...

Pitchy, I bought a Husqvarna 1600 30-06 from them.. used, by a game dept or something like that in Sweden, looked the pix over and was pleased with what I bought.. their description was accurate. price was good.. this was two or three years back. HTH Les

If'n I NEED meat, I use a scope... when I want to give 'em a sportin' chance, I carry an iron sighted carbine...

Back in the mid seventies when I was raising four kids on $300 per week, I ran into a gunshow table that had three of those 22s in crates, with all whatever accessories they came with for $350 each... just couldn't afford one... broke my heart.... never seen another....

I too, wonder if he has a little mulie in him.. those forked tops are m...

You now own something you'll never have a chance to own again.. I'd keep it and put it to some gentle use..enjoy it.. and keep in mind what an Obama Inflated Dollar is really worth.. even three thousand of 'em....just my humble opinion.. Les

A close freind of my son had an uncle that passed away about two years ago.. he was a gun owner, and had a large safe, maybe not quite full of firearms. but the point is, no one knows how many he had.. the safe has not been opened.. he left no one his combination. I have left instructions with one o...

Danny; Will be hunting near St. Maries .. several great spots that I know about.. have three grandsons, 15, 14, and 12 years old that all are looking forward to whitetail hunting.. Les

Les Staley

Will add a little zest to my late season whitetail hunt this Thanksgiving holiday.. Bud of mine and I saw elk, whitetails and wolves all on the same hillside last fall..(on different days, though). Now I'm ready for at least two of the species... looks like my 308 99 Savage will get the nod.. Les

Just rolled back to the cabin on the St. Joe, here in north Idaho.. came in to town Sat. night.. got 29 Kokanee (blue backs) this morning with two of my grandsons on Lake Cour d Alene.. they'll go into the smoker tomorrow evening for about five hours.. MMMM good... cold beer and warm smoked salmon.....

Les Staley

Had a nice Belgium made BLR in 308.. tried to love it.. shot well, but needed small base dies to make it work... couldn't put up with it any more and sold it.. life is too short to put up with that.. just my humble opinion.. Les

Stoeger Condor is an entry level over/under.. I have one, and the Savage 99 is a quality out of print rifle that is very desireable.. make the trade..

Les Staley

Would you let me put uncle mikes sling swivels on the driveshaft? It would make it a little more portable.....or better yet, use a gun bearer... Les
