Sorry Jay. We will be praying for your family's comfort.

Happy Birthday Rusty!

Happy Birthday, Riflemen!

I would bet every one of them pop without a hitch. I've been using a large stash of CCI primers an uncle gave me before he passed that are from the 50's and 60's. Every one has worked and I can't see any difference in performance or accuracy when comparing to new CCI primers that I've bought.

My shoulders have made me switch to a PSE crossbow.

Hi TedH, looks like way too much fun. I think I may need to try one. What kind of batteries does the scope and IR Illuminator use? Is this the one that will hookup to your phone via Bluetooth to record video? The scope takes 4 AA batteries. Regular alkaline batteries will only run it for a couple h...

TedH

Howdy, stranger! Hope all is well on your side of the pond.

TedH

Hides aren't worth much these days. You might get 10 bucks for one like this. Since this one was a big boy and had a beautiful coat, I took him to my taxidermist for a full body mount.

Brad

He was a big boy, 35 pounds. Thats about as big as they get around here.

TedH

Very nice!

TedH

My lovely wife was apparently tired of listening to me hint about wanting a night vision optic to help me reduce the very heavy coyote population we have, and got me a Sightmark Wraith for my birthday in February. Mounted on a 5.56 cal AR15, I found that it makes a formidable opponent for the local ...

TedH

Perfect!

TedH

Welcome!

TedH

Welcome aboard. What part of MO are you ? Boone county here. Hi. We're in the SW part of the state, 20-25 minutes from 3 different state lines. You should have a few bears down there. Been waiting to see one up here in the central part of the state. There's reports every now and then, but I've yet ...

Welcome aboard. What part of MO are you ? Boone county here.

TedH

According to the calendar, I'm 52. If you ask my wife, I'm 12.

TedH

Here's the BEST thing on your 1892.....it's probably had several thousand rounds out of it...maybe 15-20 thousand and I'd bet my entire Winchester collection that it will feed and shoot better than ANY Rossi that's new in the box. Absolutely. As you know, these have an entirely different feel and s...

TedH

Projectile weight? What kind of velocity is that capable of?

TedH

The most accurate statement you'll see today.

TedH

Amazing to have finally found it.

Ted, that is a real keeper you got, i gave up on looking for a 92 in 38-40, but some times one can drop
in your lap when leat expected

Brad

I was on the hunt for one. Probably paid more than I should have, but it'll only gain value.

TedH

Those are great, Jay! Are you printing directly on the boxes, or are those labels?
I would love to have some 38-40 boxes like that. I have a good printer, just not the knowledge.

TedH

Today, I picked up this Winchester 92 to partner with my Colt SAA. Both 38 W.C.F. It's a decent old rifle without a single Bubba'd screw head, wood still proud of the metal, and a bore that looks like it did 100 years ago. The right side of the wrist, for some reason, wears 2 small brass tacks. I pr...

Am I missing something, or is this completely insane?

TedH

I have been using "imgBB". It works pretty good for a free image hosting site.

TedH

They are out there on the auction sites. I just bought one off Gunbroker, and am impatiently waiting for the United States Postal service to deliver it. They must still be transporting some packages on horseback because it's been 8 days and still isn't here from 5 states away.

TedH

That last one is spot on!

TedH

Sorry to hear this. He will be missed.

Hope you had a great day. Is drifter still around?

No, unfortunately he stepped on a rainbow back on the 12th of September. I sure do miss him.

TedH

Thanks, Blaine!

Last weekend I spent a pleasurable afternoon with an old 3 screw Ruger Blackhawk 6.5 inch. For rambling around, this is a hard combination to beat.

One of my favorites as well.

TedH

It certainly can be an issue. Look at the eye relief specs before you buy a scope. Of all my couple dozen scopes the longest eye relief is in my Leupold 1-4x20. I mounted it on my No.3 375 Winchester but still had to stretch to get a full field of view. Offset rings would have got it about right, bu...

TedH

That's a beauty.

TedH

Happy Birthday!

TedH

No I haven't seen any around there. They say they are further West now.

TedH

Ummm..... No hunting pic is complete without the gun in the photo as well!!!!!! I have yet to reload for the Grendel even though I have all the components. I will have it If I want to shoot bigger game since all my factory ammo is A-Max or SST. Haha, don't have a deer pic with the rifle, but here's...

TedH

Absolutely.

TedH

They are thick as whitetails down where we hunted them. If I lived down there I'd shoot them year round. I much prefer them over whitetail. They taste more like beef to me. Far less "gamey" than whitetail venison.

TedH

I am totally ignorant to these deer...are they considered pests? ....or invasive? The Axis deer are Native to India, and were brought to the Texas hill country in the early 30's as a game species. They have flourished in that rugged territory. Apparently able to thrive on cactus and rocks, because ...

Ted, I am envious of all these hunts you Texans get to enjoy. You sure put that bullet where it needed to be on the doe.

I have to go down there from Missouri. I'm lucky that a friend of mine here has a buddy that owns some good Texas real estate and invites us down occasionally.

TedH

I've had good luck with Unique in those kinds of loads, but your Bullseye should work just as well.
I have the Ranch Dog mold he designed for the 35 Remington if you'd like to try some of those too I'll send you some.

TedH

I was recently invited by a buddy to take part in a trophy/population control hunt near Sonora, Texas, for free range Axis and Whitetail. 5 of us harvested 25 animals in 5 days. I was also allowed to harvest a nice Blackbuck. My little brother found a dandy Axis buck too. I was hunting with my 6.5 G...

TedH

I have heard wonderful things about the quality of Axis venison. Have looked into doe cull hunts in West Texas/the Hill Country just for meat. I just returned from such a hunt. 5 of us harvested 25 animals in 5 days. The freezer is full! I have video from my Sightmark Wraith digital scope I was hun...

TedH

They do make some excellent table fare. If I lived in Texas I could do without any other kind of red meat.

TedH

I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. They monitor gun forums, social media, etc. If you think it's bad now, it's much worse than you know.

TedH

That's a beauty, Bill! Great cartridge, too.

TedH

Classic rifle and classic cartridge, no surprise it makes meat.

TedH

🤣🤣🤣 Ted, Did you fire that baby up yet? Actually just did put a few rounds through it this afternoon. First few rounds were fired off a rest. It puts 5 rounds in a grapefruit at 20 yards, albeit about 6 inches below point of aim. When I get a better supply of brass I'll play with some different loa...
