:P Funny, after 20 some years on WD I don't have any problems at all :P Back when we were coon hunting hard we'd pull back in the drive anywhere from 2 am and sunrise. We were pretty well bushed and in no mood to be cleaning guns. Many of those nights we'd see our share of drizzle and rain (drizzle...

Thanks for puttin it out there for us. A+ man in my book. I don't have a manual for mine but manuals in general are just something else to clutter up my world and end up in the bottom of the spare parts tote. For me the internet makes paper copies almost null and void unless someone is collecting. I...

As it stands, my Single Six serves me just as well, so I can't justify spending money for a Bearcat in .22 lr. One of these days..... That's the boat I am in. I WANT one but when I fondle them at the local shops and shows it's just small enough to not fit me as well as my SS. When it comes time to ...

Too many varibales to consider. Hunting guns sell better in fall, SD/HD/play guns seem to sell better in the spring summer IMO. Price on new AR's is down, used DA's like the Ruger Security Sixes are up. Many dealers prices are substantially higher, some(the ones I like to deal with) are about the sa...

While I'm not crossin CLP off the list it sounds like for anything but removing moisture after a wet day in the field I'm better off just stickin with my tried and true Hoppes for removing carbon and crud. Thanks for he input.

I've been a Hoppes and gun oil (RemOil in recent years) man for the better part of my shooting life but have toyed with the idea of using CLP for general cleaning duties. While I'm sure it's a decent lube and protectant how is it on removing any fouling and really hard to remove crud from the action...

You have a Marlin model 60? Yep, I got one in 2000 for my son when he was 15. Unfortunately, at the time he wasn't interested in shooting and now that he is, he likes one of my 10/22s better: Smart kid I'd say! :lol: Cleaning a .22lr is always an interesting question. I've heard from high end comp ...

I'm curious what the greenhill formula or the spreadsheet, whatever, says about how well the lightweight hypers like the stingers should shoot in a 1:16. Because from experience it's a rare gun indeed that will print Stingers and their similar brethren worth a spit and I've always credited this to t...

Steve, I hear what you're saying but an insincere Thank You is better than a punch in the nose. If they are truly insincere, just being PC and using it as a marketing gimmick then that just adds more reason to accept the offer, take em for what you can get. But if they are being sincere then IMO you...

Just dreaming of the day when/if they allow us to hunt with those in lieu of the nasty ol' shotguns we have to lug around today.

Good shooting, LK

Gotta love Ruger. While I say that I don't think I'd ever buy one. If I was that interested in a compact 10/22 I'd just get a Butler Creek folder and call it good. Not as short but easier to get into action and can be fired from the closed position if I really really wanted or needed to. Do like the...

Good question and one I've pondered many times. Iowa law states that guns included magazines must be unloaded. They don't address internal vs. detachable. But then I've been checked numerous times and haven't even had an LEO blink an eye about detachables loaded and laying on the seat or dashboard. ...

I think I'd have a coyote call in my pocket at all times. :wink: I thought that too and often did.

In a pinch, sucking noises on the back of my hand ...

Even in VA there are legal considerations depending on WHERE you are. E.g. on national forest (state forest, parks, etc.) we may carry concealed with the CHP but cannot carry open carry anything else unless there is a hunting season (season being a key word) in effect AND you have a valid license a...

This is a curmudgion-type response, but any semi-auto I've been around eventually did not function past the first shot...I can live with that, maybe, hunting, but not self defense :wink: I'm going to curmudgion you right back. :o While I'd be a fool to say that I've never had a semi auto malfunctio...

Before I had my permit and wanted to carry a handgun while woods bummin I just made sure to have a valid hunting license and played in areas that allowed hunting. Figured if anyone gave me crud my story was coyote hunting was on the menu. Continuous open season. Not sure about NYS but handguns are l...

How did you folks get Google to travel overseas? I tried last week to get Omaha Beach and the Normandy area and anything outside the U.S. was a no go.

On a side note, Gettysburg did pull thru.

Thanks for the responces. I like the idea of the protective waxes and such. Heard many times of folks using wax to protect guns but it always slips my mind when the time comes. I'll "try" not to forget again. Winter time would be an easy fix. Any cabinet fitted with a 100w lamp or other ve...

What are the pitfalls of storing guns and/or ammo and/or reloading supplies in a non-climate controlled building or room such as a garage, cabin, etc. ? I had issues with some CCI .22lr ammo stored in my camper over the extremely hot and steamy summer last year and am curious as to any possible issu...

L_Kilkenny

That's a tough one. IMO, certain guns with some wear and tear (not to be confused with neglect) have an appeal but in general only if the current owner is the one to instill that character into the gun. Take my well used 870 slug gun. To me it looks better than it did when new. The thing screams hun...

While not CC related I do prefer to have a hunting/field gun more in the 1:00 position than at 3 or 4:00. Just seems more natural and easier to get at. Especially if it's riding on it's own belt.

A few months before his death, Wyatt Earp wrote the details of four gunfights he was involved in. Johnny Ringo's was one of them, according to him. He wrote the details in long-hand and drew diagrams of each of the fights explaining who was where and did what. He tells how he shot Johnny Ringo in s...

L_Kilkenny

I've heard 10 different stories about his death and about the only thing they have in common was he was found under a tree. Doubt we'll ever know although loads of fun to talk about.

This is apparently a misunderstanding of the idea in regards to the rifle. I haven't figured out what the "bells and whistles" are refered to. Somebody must have needed or wanted them, whatever they are, since they were being custom built for a while before any factories made anything res...

With or without it, I still do not grasp the concept. Would not a holster and sixgun be enough? Choose to quote OTH's post because it pretty much sums up how most of you and I for that matter feel. I tried scoping one handgun, a MKII 22/45, and hated it. Swore if my eyes ever got bad enough that I ...

It's now really obvious some don't get the scout thing at all. I'll be the first one to raise my hand to that one. I don't get, tried to get, researched it and find it completely out of my grasp. YMMV, I've given up, not embarassed in the least and will stick with a regular old short rifle. :) LK

May I also point out that many gun related sights, this one may be included, go thru a "cabin fever" stage in late winter, early spring. I've seen it happen many times. Hunting seasons are over and everyone is waiting for the weather to straighten up which leads t lot's of off topic discus...

Not to bash on the scout concept some more ( but dang it is so easy) many of you are missing the point. It's not to take what is the perfect production packin pistol, or a 1911 or a SA .45colt or whatever and use it. Yes, these and many others are the perfect multitool already. But to make a "s...

For the last 20 years or more all of my shooting has been hunting related. Sure I send lead down the target range but most if not all of it is with the end goal of improving myself, my guns or my loads for hunting. Plinkin and shooting for the joy of it has become a lost art for me. Being said, I st...

I remember driving across Iowa when I was in college, it seemed to me that place would lend itself to some really long shots, so I am surprised by the slug gun thing. With coyote, fox and varmints long shots around here (northern 1/2 of Iowa) are generally the name of the game. Hence my preference ...

L_Kilkenny

Ya, Iowa is a slug gun state although it does have a special January "antlerless only" rifle season in the southern part of the state. Tried it a couple times, once with a 94 (only saw a buck) and the other time I was just helping some buddies and only carried my Security Six. Already had ...

.45acp and 10mm viability aside, just cause a deer runs off doesn't mean it wasn't an adequate cartridge or shot IMO.

Back when I bought my .32H&R there was both the Ruger and Heritage at the same show. Handled both and comparison was minimal (i.e. not even close). Price for the Heritage was around $230 and the Ruger was $309 OTD. Any guesses on which one I own? Jump forward to today........ The .32 Single Six ...

Ya know, I'm kinda sad. All the long guns and most of the handguns that I currently own were not purchased or built with the idea of fun in mind. I purpose built a 10/22 for hunting.

Mescalero, I understand fully where you are coming from. I settled on carbine length bolts(centerfire) and semis(rimfire) as my primary guns some time ago. As stated elsewhere I don't own a rifle with a barrel longer than 18.5". I wanted/needed more range and accuracy than I could get out of tr...
