We watched her events last night by streaming the video from the NBC website to our TV. Very impressive. She makes it look all too easy.

Pete, when you're in Vegas, you might as well take your group to one of the local gun clubs where you can rent full-auto weapons. One of them has crew-served weapons as well....we're talking Ma Deuce and M249 stuff. I don't think you'll get that chance in Australia!! I know it's not lever-related......

The Mrs and I just got back yesterday from a 2-day halibut fishing trip in Homer, Alaska. We do this at least once every few years. The results are always the same.....fantastic scenery, great people, outstanding fishing, and freezers stuffed with halibut, cod, and crab. We fished the entrance of Ka...

It's an old, tried-and-true lever round. Good enough for me!

Until the 1st time some idiot tries to rob a liquor store by shooting salt in the eyes of the clerk.

You'll have to pry my golf balls from my cold dead hands!!!

My Browning A-5. Handles like a dream in the pheasant fields and on the skeet range. Too pretty to get wet and muddy in the rice paddies. For the duck & turkey blinds, where I know the gun is going to be wet & muddy, I'm considering that new Remington Versamax. Ugly as sin, but handles any l...

I was once in the process of thinning out the safe as well. Sold off a couple of safe queens to make room for more interesting shooters. Then I got smart and removed the internal shelving and racks. I now wrap the nice ones in gun socks and by storing some muzzle down, I can get another half-dozen i...

I'd vote Carson City. But then I'm biased, living in Sacramento and visiting relatives in the area quite frequently. Great coyote and chukar hunting all over the place. Great off-roading. Great mule deer hunting if you can draw a tag. Lake Tahoe is just up the hill for some excellent snow & wate...

Thank you gentlemen. To celebrate my 45th, I went and picked up this hefty .45 beauty...

I still have the same Mossberg 500 that my dad gave me when I turned 14. Untold thousands of rounds have gone through it. It's survived being drenched in duck and turkey blinds, bounced around truck beds, and dropped overboard in rice paddies and never jammed or failed to fire. Lightweight and built...

I've heard rumors that we have some deer out here in California on public lands. Good luck....

stew71

Excellent information, Pete. Many thanks!!

Does anyone happen to know if sporterized Mausers, in general, "prefer" to be fully bedded, including the barrel channel, or do they perform better with a free-floated barrel? I have a rifle where the previous owner completely bedded the stock, including the barrel channel. I've gotten the...

stew71

Impossible. I thought the 30-30 was supposed to be too underpowered for deer?

Very nice buck. Certainly not taken in California.

Hey Walt & BB, I'll bet we crossed paths out there!!! I just returned a few weeks ago from a seven day motorcycle trip to Utah and the North Rim with some friends. Some of the best riding ever. Spectacular scenery indeed. Here's a link to the trip report I posted up on a motorcycle touring forum...

The coolest one I've ever been aboard was a Beech King Air 350.

The coolest one I've ever flown...my good ol' Cessna 172M.

I learned way back in high school that a .22 bullet will gouge a truck hood when using it as a shooting rest and not practicing proper muzzle control.

I'm getting a hernia just LOOKING at those buckets.

You seem to have overlooked something in 6.5x55 Swede, the finest rifle cartridge ever developed.

stew71

Not likely. That doesn't look worth salvaging.

A new shop here in Folsom has a .45 Ruger Blackhawk 5.5" for just over $550. I've been eyeballing it pretty hard, but I'm holding out for a 7.5" model.

Looks to be halfway between Madagascar and the French Southern Antarctic Islands.

In California, it's on foot from the trailhead.

In Alaska, we use ATVs at times to get into some really deep areas, then walk the remainder of the way to our hunting spots.

Must...resist. Must...not...go...to...Cabelas...

Think baseball. Yeah...that's it. Baseball.....

stew71

Yeah yeah...nice barn and all...

Can you give us the run-down on those bikes? I've been eyeballing one of the new Urals with the sidecar as an off-road hunting machine.

Is that middle one a Hodaka? Or is it a Husky? The one one to the right looks like an old Honda...

stew71

Ho. Ly. Cow. That is one fine looking deer rifle.

Oh yeah. Nice shootin' too.

stew71

I'm holding out for a lever-action phaser rifle. With buckhorn sights.

stew71

Ruger #1 chambered in 300 H&H.

stew71

I've heard California is sometimes considered to be foreign to the rest of the US. Does that count?

stew71

Nice spread you have there Mike.

If you don't mind me asking, where's it located? Looks like the Lodi area.

stew71

I'd have to say my 30 yr-old Mossberg 500 duck gun. Goes bang every time, eats anything I put through it, and hasn't jammed except when I do something stupid like drop it in the rice paddy mud

Hmmm....a lever-action phaser rifle? Why not?

stew71

Hmmm...must be a local phenomenon. I haven't seen any such shortage here in Sacramento. Plenty of the Federal 55 FMJ on the shelves. Same for 9mm ball. I've picked up several ammo cans worth of the Federal 62gr green tip stuff. My Rock River loves it. The shortages I've seen are the compact 9mm and ...

Every single hog that has run headlong into my 30-30 and 30-06 has departed this world most expeditiously.

We just dropped in at the Reno Cabela's and picked up 3 cases of shotgun shells with just the points we've accrued.

We use it for almost all of our online purchases, fuel, meals, travel, etc and simply pay it off each month.

stew71

It's French. It wasn't supposed to fire more than a few rounds before it was dropped in the dirt.
What more is there to be said?

Ah jest kiddin. Hope you get it running.

stew71

I'm really hoping Mossberg can work the 464 into a nice lever gun. I'd love to have a .22 version.

stew71

Let me get this straight... in California 100,000 equals a quarter of a million? No wonder they have money problems. You have no idea. These are the same brain-dead people who think making 250,000 dollars per year makes you a millionaire. But back to the point....I wish I had the storage for 100K r...

I felt secure in the 70's and 80's while the Cold War was still on. The big powers knew better than to start a real war. Things seemed more predictable. I don't feel so secure in today's world. It seems you never know what's going to happen next ...... I'd try not to be around urban areas when the ...

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen. Now if I can ever get some range time in the near future, I'll see what she can do.

You have it all wrong. This is not ugly.

And it's finally finished. A custom Mauser 98. I think it’s either a post-war Czech or German-made action. The only markings appear to be civilian in nature. Nothing to indicate it was ever a battle rifle. The stock was so-so with what appears to be hand-checkering. Someone did an okay job. Not the ...

The Mrs and I have been steadily preparing ourselves since the downturn began. We've purchased gold and silver and have immediate access to it if need be. But that was more about investing rather than emergency currency. We buy batches of .22 LR and 9mm as we use it up. We both compete in a weekly s...

stew71

I found that quite amusing, actually. What's the old saying? The best jokes are those with some basis in truth??

stew71

Impossible!!! Everyone knows that the 30-30 is just too old and too underpowered for deer. /sarcasm

Nice shot. Nice rifle. Nice stag.

stew71

I treat my .22's just like every other firearm in the safe. Hoppe's #9 bore cleaner and just a dab of oil in all the right places. That whole "never clean a .22" must be some old wives tale. Never heard of it. Edit: I had a Ruger 10/22 that had to be cleaned nearly after every session. It ...
