Safe travels and if you make it to the maybe state of Iowa, I have a spot to shoot. Nothing fancy, just some steel and paper. I'm just off of I-29 on the Iowa side of Omaha.

Congratulations from a fellow Eagle Scout. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.

God bless him and all of the family as it reflects on all of you.

I ended up with a couple of Marlin TD's that were made by Lee Hadaway for a gun shop in the south that are awful nice, but have the 20" barrel on each. They are also not in the caliber that you are looking at Mike, but I sure like them. The Chiappa has the caliber, barrel length and finish goin...

Dropped you a line Griff. Thank you.

My prayers as well for a speedy and successful recovery.

I'm also a fan of the Browning, but in this case I sure like the idea of a 16.25" .22WMR. That's a lot of rimfire power in a compact handy little carbine. That would be my choice. Good luck with your decision.

Thank you sir. Its a good day as all the kids are healthy and happy and I just have the normal aches and pains, none that are new. Thanks for all that you do.

I let my wife read this.... She's upset and now hates all of you. Sorry about that. Good news though, she's hated me for the last twenty-six years and I've survived, so there is hope for you guys.

SargeMarlin

Apparently I need to buy a label maker, cause I need that organization, or at least better than ammo cans and Sharpie scribbling down the side. Nicely done.

Register the complaint. I've been law enforcement for 23 years (16 years patrol and traffic enforcement, 4 years Sgt. in patrol, 3 years Lt. in charge of training, 10 year SWAT) and I hold myself and the guys that work for me to a higher standard. I would imagine that the supervisor and the sheriff ...

Jeesh Sixgun, I have a couple but I hate to post after you. I'll put a picture of one of mine with it's only kill to date. The picture is in my work computer so it may be Monday.

SargeMarlin

BrentD, thanks for the legwork and the post. And God Bless the feds, they need all the help they can get. Good grief.

SargeMarlin

I've read both of his "Gun Notes" books, but bought the kindle edition of "Hell I was there." just about a week ago to read. My timing is once again horrible.

SargeMarlin

All the years I've been on this site, first time I've read it, and a darn good read. Thanks for the post.

Someone said it above, and I too am at a loss for works. God Bless and more prayers for you and your family.

I agree that it is a great video. On occasion and ever so slowly, I have been sending links to photos and videos that I think some anti's/unknowing types that I work with in an effort to get them to understand. The photos of the cabin that was located in the willows that has melted into the landscap...

That was awesome. Gives a man inspiration to make it to retirement.

I've got several boxes and no gun. Shoot me a pm where to send them, just have him cover the postage.

Borderline off-topic, but what's the name of the app that you have for your smartphone to listen to that?

Ok, let me start by saying that photobucket is horrible! Then let me add that the Model 89 is awesome! I picked up the BHA a few days after I posted that I got a call letting me know that it was done, on a Thursday. Friday, I grab 10 rounds of HSM ammo and am anxious to tell you all how great it is....

I run with one of the Marlin .410's that they made a few years back and have had good success with it. I've shot some quail, squirrels and two wild roosters with mine, usually 2.5" 7 1/2's. I'm more limited by my lack of time to take it out and hunt with it. Also, in my neck of the woods, there...

This causes an awful lot of "Soul Searching" both in future opportunities and regrets, friends lost and friends that I don't talk to near enough. In February, I lost a good friend who was one month older than me (just shy of 44), taken in the prime of his life, in seemingly good health, li...

SargeMarlin

Thank you all. I celebrated out of town at a class which was not a lot of fun as far as subject matter goes. But, its always nice to turn yet another year older.

BTW, the review on the Big Horn Armory 500 is coming after the weekend. My birthday present to myself!

SM

SargeMarlin

Thank you all. I'm excited and will hopefully give a worth while report when it gets in. I will make sure to give my FFL a hard time. He is also in the guard at training and wasn't around a week ago when I had another gun transferred in. It is still patiently waiting for me at his shop, so it will b...

SargeMarlin

From Big Horn Armory, my 89 in .500 is done and getting ready to ship. Pics to come when my FFL holder gets back from the Bahamas in a week, which after the 10 month build time is a drop in the bucket.

WOOOHOOOO!

Deer season has come and gone here in Utah. Rejecting the current craze here in the west of high tech, 1,000 yard shooters, I still prefer hunting with the same tools my grandfather used to keep the racks of the smokehouse full. Here is a picture of my 1941 M94 .30-30 from a couple of weeks ago doi...

I've had one that I've shot pretty consistently for about 5 years mostly for funning around on the skeet field. I have taken a quail or two and a couple of rooster pheasants with it, but both birds are hard to find in my neck of the woods nowadays. They are just a lot of fun to shoot. I will admit t...

God Bless her. To have the serenity prayer as the tattoo is in my opinion not tasteless, but classy. I'm anxious to see who wins in something that I generally could care less about.

As a guy who is addicted to chasing mule deer from a state that doesn't have any, I think those are some great pictures. I wouldn't hesitate on that deer if I was to run across him in the hunting fields.

I ordered one after posting to see if anyone had handled one in person a while back. I got a big old "No!" so I thought I would take the first plunge to see what I thought. It should be done about October-ish, but no guarantees. When it comes in, I will make sure to post photos and reviews...

SargeMarlin

I'm with Charles on this one. It is a very good read and is written just like he was sitting across the table talking to you about the guns and the bits of history that go with them. I've recommended it to all my friends, and the money for the book is going to his widow (who spoke at the NRA convent...

SargeMarlin

Absolutely fantastic!

SargeMarlin

Pitchy, that little cannon is the coolest! What caliber did you make it? I would think that putting a rubber ball in there would be too cool.

SM

SargeMarlin

I just tried to call the company and left a voice message in hopes of a response. The website says 6-8 month lead on orders, so I hope to verify that if they call back. I will keep you all updated.

SM

So, it's been a while since they announced the Model 89. Has anybody seen or handled one live yet? If so, how'd it shoot, cycle, look?

I've never put together a bucket list for one reason or another, but reading all these posts really got me to thinking. I'll start with the gun bucket list, and it seems long, but most are unattainable, so it's really pretty short. 1) My own Keith #5 Colt SAA in 44 special. 2) Winchester 1886 in 33 ...

SargeMarlin

Marlin32, where are you at? I'm on the Iowa side, about 30 minutes from that LaVista store. I didn't realize there was another levergunner this close.

Got tears rollin' on that one, and I'm only laughin' because I've been there.

I never make it over to the Lincoln Scheel's, usually just Omaha and Sioux City. Do they have a pretty good gun room? The store in Omaha has been very skinny on good stuff for about 6 months. Everybody is buying.

Love the story octagon. I imagine there's a pile more, but it would be tough to top that one.

SM

The one that I carry the most is a Smith 396 Mountain Lite 44 spl. Its the aluminum with 3" barrel and adjustable sights. Light and accurate.

Hunting, I take a 5" SAA by Colt. Just cause.
