I just retired the first of July of this year. Worked for the Umatilla County (In Oregon) Sheriff's Office as a Civil Deputy (process server) for 17 years. I just turned 81. Went elk hunting this year, but was not successful. Maybe do better this next season. Looking forward to varmint hunting this ...

I like them all! Even the crappy ones. Hell, I even watched "Cowboys and Aliens" twice! Beats the hell out of the evening news. Give the Western channel on cable a pretty good work out. I am old enough to have seen "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" as a first run. It is still my...

I am curious about the Marlin bolt action XT-22MTR .22 Magnum as an alternate choice. I know that there has been a lot of comment about the current quality of the "Remlin" big bores manufacture in New York state. I believe that the rimfires are produced in a different state and that qualit...

I'll stick with my K-Bar.

Been living in Pendleton, Oregon for five months. Looking forward to my 39th birthday on the 15th. Hadn't met my third wife yet (three more years). Been married 37 years. I think it will work out. Been out of the military at that time 17 years.

To bad they couldn't have put more effort in quality control on their general production of rifles.

I'm 78 . I love getting up early in the morning, making coffee and trudging down to get the morning newspaper.. To me life is sweet. I still work part time for the sheriff's department. Still tend a garden and keep the yard up I have survived major surgery for cancer. Almost bit the big one when I h...

I'm also a member of the 16 Gauge Society. I have an Ithaca Mdl. 37 pump. It was full choke with a 28" barrel which was too tight for most uses so I had it opened up to modified. For the last few years it has been my primary upland bird gun. Mostly used for Ruffed & Blue grouse plus occasio...

Bronco:

The 180 gr. Nosler partition id the sole cartridge I use in my old Springfield. Use 60 gr. of H-4831. Doesn't chrono all that great, avg. 5 shots 2680 fps but shoots great!

I agree with Cowboy Tutt on the Springfield. I have my Uncle's old Springfield serial#808,xxx, 1918 manufacture. It has the original 4 groove barrel. Otherwise it has been much modified. Has a Buehler safety for scope use, an altered bold handle, quick lock main spring, One piece Redfield scope base...

You guys are typical racist, homophobe, right-wing extremists...!!!

As an aside and for those Not-In-The-Know, there also is a .30 Remington. However, the .30 Remington will not interchange with a .30-30 Winchester . The .30 Remington, a rimless cartridge, was designed for the old Model 8 and 81 Remington semi auto rifle. Its ballistics are comparable to the .30-30...

My .410 has been retired some time ago as a wall hanger. In general I used #6's for pheasants and ducks. Shots usually weren't taken over about 25 yds for pheasants and over decoys for ducks. Later on it was used to shoot cripples while goose hunting. Mostly used for grouse hunting. Used mostly #7 1...

I may be wrong. but i recall seeing an old Remington pump which had a cartridge base with the rifles caliber on the receiver.

In my line of work I carry pepper spray. Primarily this is for the occasional aggressive dog. The only time I had to use it I was confronted by a dog who clearly had bad intentions toward me. By the time I retrieved the spray from the belt holster I was bitten and the dog made it safely away. Now, b...

A friend of mine, gone for some years, had a 722 in 222 Remington. He reloaded for it extensively. Had a commercial machine to make his own bullets. Traveled to Montana every spring for many years to hunt prairie dogs, ground squirrels, etc.. He kept record of how many time it had been shot. Re-barr...

Two years ago I purchased, off E-Bay, an old El Paso steel-tubed Weaver 2 1/2 X scope at a very reasonable price.. It's mounted on a Marlin 1895SS 45/70. I have found it to be just what I was looking for and use it mostly for elk hunting in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. Holds a zero and has ...

roundup

You might have to shop around a bit and expend some money on specialty items: Barrel, trigger group, stock etc..you're already committed to an expensive scope, but my suggestion would be a Ruger 10/22.

I don't have sinus trouble anymore since I moved to a drier climate than the Willamette Valley. Years ago an old gent I worked with pulling greenchain in a sawmill gave me some good advise at the time. Get a pint of cheap 100 proof whiskey, drink the whole bottle in a short period of time. It wont c...

Also I know Spring is coming for sure. In the mail I've received a gardening catalog, a fly fishing catalog and the Cabela's Spring catalog!

I had a routine colonostopy 2 1/2 years ago. Mine turned up some bad news. I had surgery for colon cancer. I was/am lucky, didn't need chemo or radiation, but did have a large section removed. I am due for another exam in the near future. Sure beats the alternative. My Wife refers to them as my &quo...

The late Jeff Cooper liked the .308 and the Remington Mdl 600 carbine. He likened that combination to something like "A gun you could stick in your back pocket and with it shoot a lion" or words to that effect.

Nosler 180 grain partition, 60 grains H-4831SC, Remington brass, Federal standard primers. Chronos 2720 fps 10 feet from muzzle. Five shot 1 1/4" at 100 yards out of an 03 Springfield original 4 groove barrel serial # 808xxx. Knocks elk for a loop.

My trail gun was a S&W Mdl 34 4" .22 until I lost it on a rafting trip on the Wallowa river. It was somewhat difficult to shoot as I really had to be steady or have a good rest to hit anything with it. It did account for ground squirrels and a few grouse. My current trail gun is a Ruger Mk ...

I've been using the foaming bore cleaner WIPE-OUT. I ordered it through Midway. It works well. I have an old 03 Springfield serial # 80x-xxx which had a terrible build up of copper fouling. I had to let it soak over night for two nights, two seperate applications and it took care of the problem. Onl...

I've never done it with a deer/elk skull but have take bulls heads out into the woods and let the yellow jackets and ants take care of business. The only problem was someone locating and "liberating" the project before I got to it!

I preferred the musical score in the newer version. In the original film the score overwhelmed the movie at times. The simple old hymns seemed more appropriate to me.

hap35: I obtained the info. off a site about trimming the magazine spring some years back, and for the life of me I can't retrieve it and can't remember what the site was. My 1894C is one of the "Big Five" store chain rifles. I haven't seen them for sale in a long time. It was plain finish...

roundup

You can trim the magazine spring for easier loading. Cowboy Action folks do this. In fact I've trimmed mine and its easier to load and the magazine will hold 10 125 gr. .357's rather than 9. Consult one of the Cowboy action sites for more info. You can trim too much off, so proceed carefully. Roundup
