Gary Palmdale, Ca -- brought back some memories. Back in the mid 60s I went to College of The Desert and we played baseball at Antelope Valley Junior College -- there were jack rabbits in the outfield. Visited again about 8 years ago to watch my son play baseball against the Lancaster Jethawks. You ...

I said "partly responsible", but I really don't know for sure. I'm sure the Wolf promoters would sy that it's not the case. Anyway, like you said it looks as if something has changed. It may not even be statically relevant just a series of random occurences that looks like some pattern. If...

Danny, The wolf situation is out of control -- this too is the result the moronic politicians and their incessent meddling in everything. As mentioned in the "Bear Attack" tread, there is anecdotal evidence of a larger number of lion encounters in the last several years in SW Montana. My s...

Montana is a "Shall Issue" state and an "Open Carry" state. Fill out the app, show evidence of a training class (hunter's safety is accepted), pass a background check, pay your $50 processing fee and about 6 weeks later your CCW arrives in the mail. You have to renew every 4 or 5...

When the topic of a “What Gun for Bear Protection” comes up, Many folks on the internet say that carrying a handgun for critter protection is just plain nonsense – bear, cougar, wolf encounters (not to mentioned protective female moose or rutting bulls), just aren’t likely to happen. Well, being a b...

Not intended to hijack this tread -- moderators feel free to move elsewhere or delete. I picked up this 336 .35 Rem from a Benefit Auction a year or so ago. I sighted it in with the 220 gr Buffalo Bore ammo (actual chrono 2,130 from 18" bbl) that came with the package. Worked up a load with 158...

Just a heads up. If anybody needs some 375 Win Brass, Midway has some on sale. Not a lot avail, so you might want to hurry. http://www.midwayusa.com/Promotion/?promotionid=13371&eblastid=923200816&custnum=59701090&utm_source=shopnow&utm_medium=heblast923200816#13371_9315_1004679 Paul

Sorry, but There ain't no bear on this planet that can take a charge of 20 pellets of #1 buck in the face at 5 yards and do anything but expire. I have no doubt that several loads of buckshot in the chest didn't have much visual effect. I really don't have a dog in this hunt, but the questions was b...

Paul105

First of all, I AM NOT AN EXPERT and have no personal experience. With that said, years ago, there was an article about buckshot by someone who had hunted extensively in Africa (Finn Aagard maybe). Anyway, that article sang the praises of buckshot for stopping soft skinned dangerous game at arms len...

Wife and I were walking Sat morning and we both said the same thing -- "feels like fall". My son said one of his friends was scouting elk over the weekend, and they were bugling like crazy in the high country. Archery elk starts the 6th of Sept -- best time of year in Montana -- cool/cold ...

Absolutely, however it's the MASS on that one that differentiates it from the rest.

Hey Jim T!

Isn't it about time for you to post another story/article. I love your stuff, along with Paco's and JT's.

That looks like a ton of fun. Great report(s) -- Tutt, Griff.

I'll have to load up some 45-70 stuff for the 1895 CB (Smith Ladder sight) and the Sharps and spend some time trying to hit the 500 Meter rams at the local range.

What about the people behind you who just got covered by your muzzle? You can also sling the rifle on your off shoulder, upside down with the for end pointing forward. You grasp the for end with your forward hand and mount the rifle on your shoulder. This is also quite fast, and the muzzle is eithe...

I have a Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh with a 6" Magnaported barrel (2 Ports). I have shot over 7,500 rounds thru this revolver since I bought it last August. At least 7,300 of those have been cast lead. I haven't experienced any leading in the ports. As previously stated, you will get some fouli...

You can teach a dog, like you can teach a horse, to tolerate gunfire. I have a technique which has worked on every dog I ever had. Most come running when they hear the shot. Scott, If it'll work on a 2 1/2 yr old dog, would apprciate it if you would share. I would love to get my daughter's dog used...

Adopted our lab at 10 months. She loves gunfire -- thinks something fun is about to happen. My daughter's dog (half lab, half white shepard) runs for cover whenever gunfire is within 100 yards. They absolutely love children, your son will have lots of fun with his new Roscoe. My lab has been around ...

Thought I was reading Louis L'Amour -- very well done.

Scott,

Do you have a picture of your Linebaugh .500 -- blued, engraved and with those wonderfully scimshawed ivories? That is a thing of beauty.

About 10 years ago, I bought a thousand of these from a guy in Utah (I think it's the same link Mescalero1 posted above). The biggest problem I had was getting the bullets seated to the same depth in the sabot (I later learned they made a tool for this). Info I had indicated that consistent bullet s...

Gotta agree with Jengel -- both the alcohol and muzzle discipline comments. There are folks I won't be around when firearms are involved for just those reasons.

I have no idea if Obama is speaking the truth about his thinking or not.

I think you are going to like that rifle. Years ago I had one, it was a great shooter. Unfortunately it was stolen (1977) , along with an orig S&W M19, a Ruger SBH, Win 101 20ga, nicest Browning .22 Rifle semi auto, Browning .22 Challenger, a couple of Ruger M77s, Marlin 1895 45-70, Win Model 8?...

I read Paco's article and fooled around with some of the loads mentioned. I was using a 24" barreled Win 94 NRA Centineal. With the 125/130s, I never could get the velocities Paco reported. I ran into sticky extraction a couple of grains lower using H335 with velocity in lower 2,700 fps. I had ...

Nice!

Did the 1894C have the checkered grip and fore end? Been wanting to slim down my 357, but was worried checkering would be too deep.

Here are a couple of pics of a .454 Puma I got last year -- the one this replaced had the black, non-descript finish. Just got done shoveling snow, and warming up the wife's truck.

Soon to be two. I have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy, that has been Mundenized -- very slick, and accurate too. About an hour ago, sent the money for a "pre-owned" Shiloh Sharps Rough Rider. Can't wait to get my grubby little digits on that Sharps.

Why does anyone use PayPal? They are anti gun/anti shooting! You can send a check or money order in lieu of PayPal. You may have to wait a little longer, or plan a littler further in advance, but PayPal should be boycotted by anyone who is a shooter or hunter. If a vendor only accepts payment via Pa...

Winchester Model 52 Sporter .22 LR with the checkered stock. Back in the early 60s, my uncle found it for $50.00 -- it had one of those old 7/8" weaver 4x scopes. Several years later, I traded it, a Win 94, and a Win Model 12, 20ga all for a S&W M19. I ordered a set of Herrett Jordan Troope...

This was also a basic model. It did have auto trans, but no AC. She couldnâ€™t affort a 1969 fully loaded mustang that t...

Jim, Thanks for the link! I came to this conclusion quite a while back. I get accused of just being cynical. The really discouraging thing is that most people just don't see it -- they continue to believe the BS that the politicians put out. "You can continue to fuss, argue and fight over who s...
