I have a Win 70 SA in 222 Rem. It is better than I can hold. I also have a 6 mm PPC which shots just a bit better than the 222. Cheap to shoot and easy to load.

How about a Frank Wesson Rhode Island Militia carbine like here, it has the barrel stud, rear sight might be just by the left hand thumb and the boss in front of the finger loop is visible. It is the sixth picture down. http://milpas.cc/rifles/ZFiles/Sporting%20Rifles/Frank%20Wesson/Longguns%20of%20...

March 28th, I was at the Imperial War Museum (Duxford) which is a little south of Cambridge in England. Spent the day and took lots of pictures. The F-86 was out on the tarmac and later in the afternoon it flew and did a practise demonstration. As it was a week day and not a show date, it was GREAT....

On first glance I was thinking a Lee single shot but it does not match the pictures that I found, nor does it match any rifles in de Haas "Single Shot Rifles and Actions" that I have. So I am stumped.

I see fox only once and awhile around here but not much. More coyote and dog packs.

That is too bad about the storm losses and damage. Farming is not easy to do today nor was it in the past either.

I was in England between the 20th and 30th of March and I saw a lot of snow! The news was showing lots of troubles in the north with buried sheep etc. How has the farmers made out digging out their flocks? It did not look too good as I was leaving.

Just back from England and I saw one of the pumps at either the Science Museum (London) or at the Imperial War Museum (Duxford). Surprising it is not as large as I would of thought it would of been. I first thought it was a power pak like for a tank, until I read the placard.

About 10000 of the 63's have the receiver cut for Tip off mounts. No D&T required in those cases.

Here is a picture of my grandfather, Mom's Dad, pre 1920. His hand has a M1903. He used it for rabbits as well, per mom's recollection.

You can get a conversion kit for Shorts in a 1022. Volquartsen sells it. Not cheap.

I bought a 1022 Deluxe yrs ago. I replaced the barrel with an early production Midway barrel and a Volquartsen cantilever scope mount. I also change the stock to a Reinhold Fajen Thumbhole. At 50 yards it will shoot 3/8 to 1/2" groups if I am not too excited. This barrel is most accurate with F...

Here is a picture from 2008, when the Lake Erie ice broke the ice boom and started down the Niagara River. If you look closely there are terns and seagulls sitting on the ice as it goes by. Remember that ice has 80-90% below the water line. I have prints of 20 ft thick pieces beached during wind sto...

Briley had written up some articles about this a few yrs ago. I do not remember what mag it was, but at the time I was regular reader of Shooting Times, G&A, and Rifle. Likely it was in one of those.

River Monsters' Jeremy Wade tried a couple yrs ago to get one, no real luck on catching a big one.

Too bad on not realizing the status of the current record.

Seen these first in Europe. I think Michelin is the one that pushed these, but I could be wrong.

Here is a still from the video. It needed a little work to bring out the more of the details. The light was getting flatter and flatter and the clouds in the background are just not helping. An hour earlier would of made a huge difference.

Was at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum 40th Airshow today. Good weather, no rain, some thin clouds at times. Was on the flightline from 11 to 5:30. Took over 400 shots.

If you know someone with an older version of Photoshop ie PS3, PS4, or PS5 you can upgrade for usually about 200. The other way is get Elements10. It does most jobs just like PS, does work for most people. Gimp is free but only works on 8 bit files.

Well just back from the meeting. The rifle was a great attraction to the other members who had not seen it before. Talked for about half hour on how and why etc. some of the other members are a little put out as I had something better than the recent showings. Now the club secretary wants to shoot v...

And I just got the Canon T3i to replace my XT.

I have been interested in this style of camera. My sister has either this one or the next one that came out a couple years ago. I wish they would just use a larger chip! I have the Canon 85mm 1.2 L and it needs a good camera to really shine.

Just like I saw in the eyepiece. Good shooting Oly

Here is mine. It cleared just in time to see first contact and until sunset.

I invited neighbours etc to look through the scope. Many showed up including a couple visiting from England. Very successful.

To cut pigs of lead, I use a cutting torch. It just melts away into the mould placed under the cut line.
A bandsaw can work but you need lube and keep forcing the kerf open with a wedge. It is the way we started but now just use the torch. Faster and already in usable form.

Yes I just took some better pictures. I need a better flash. Hope they are good. I only post 3 here as I did not want to flood the site.

I also put some more on my website. pierresplace.ca in the Savage 99 folder.

I will have to take some beauty shots and post them. Any views requested other than the standard stuff? I have used it off the bench when setting up the loads and a few groundhogs. It shoots better a than most of my stuff. Only my Sako 6mm PPC will out shoot it with regularity. My current best loads...

Saw the movie the first time at a special viewing at Fort George, Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. The YouTube video show the cavalry charge by the French.

Did they actually admit a mistake or did they blame it on their predecessors? There is a difference. The former party in charge (Liberal) pushed this through with the lies that it would only cost 85 million and the fees would self found afterwards. What a joke after 2 billion!

Actually in Canada, with a PAL you are a FFL dealer. We could ship guns back and forth between PAL holders at any time but we had to change the registration with the Feds when we did so. Now we do not need to tell the Feds anything! Best day in a long time!

I have used 22pellets in 222 Remington in my Win 70SA and with just the primer they will cover 50 feet but dropped about 18" or so. In a Hornet they should move quicker and have less drop. I have a Hornet but I have not done so YET!

How can any powder or charge in that little almost-straight case be too 'hot' for a Ruger No.1....???? Now remember Doc, it's the brass case that is the weak point when the gun is hugely strong.
