Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and close to death. They are close to just lying down and waiting for the inevitable, when all of a sudden... “Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell? Ees bacon, I is sure of eet.” “Si, Luis, eet smells like bacon to meee.” So with renewed stren...

I've been entrusted with packaging my recently deceased fathers Wetherby O/U up for shipment to a repair center before it goes on to my little brother. Needless to say this is something that I cant screw up. Here is the plan so far: 1. Cut up a gun sock and cover each piece of the gun. 2. Wrap each ...

I think our resident doctor has the winning suggestion so far.

I've got the entire state of Idaho on CD but there is no way I'm packing a laptop in to some of the places I go.

Can anyone recommend a good way to store USGS Topo maps? Rolled up in a tube works; but it is kind of a pain to find the specific one I'm looking for. Flat in a drawer would be great if I had a drawer that big. Am I missing something or is that just the way it is?

Chris

If only golf could be that much fun.

Chris

Please add my name to the hat. With 2 little ones in the house; a sharps is way down the list of needs but high on the wants list.

Thanks

Chris

Malamute,

PM me when you get some time and I will send it your way next.

Chris

I'll take it and be more than happy to pass it on. pm sent

thanks

Chris

Has anyone played with either of these? Any opinion's ??? Bullets will be shot out of a Marlin 336 and a Remington model 8

Thanks

Chris

Joe, We faced the same problem when the wife an I moved to Idaho from Florida. Low on $$ but lots of stuff. We ended up taking keepsake items and stuff that could never be replaced. We sold off everything else. Is the 5 year old couch or kitchen table worth the money it would take to move it? Turn t...

I'll play. Can someone please explain the point of the .17 caliber cartridges? What will these do that a .22 LR, a .222 or .223 cant for the same or much less money?

Chris

Please enter my name for the drawing

thanks

Chris

Give it 6 months and it will be safer to live in Marinestan than Detroit or D.C.

Chris

Looks as though I should bump up the powder charge a little to get to the 1100 to 1150 fps neighborhood.

Thanks for the link.

Chris

Does anyone know what bullet weight and velocity these guns are designed for and the fixed sights regulated to? I've probably wasted several hours now with Google and various web sites but am no closer than when I started. Any pet loads to share? Thanks Chris Sorry -- 9mm, First attempt at reloads u...

Paul,

I'd try to shoot some degreaser in the firing pin hole for the 22 barrel. If that doesn't cure it I'd get a new firing pin for it. They are neat little guns. I bought one of the newer ones a few weeks ago to use as a truck gun. Just Google savage 24 and you can find plenty of info.

Chris

Doc,

Okay now you have me hooked. Think this could be turned into a sticky ??? Hobie are you up for another sticky??

Keep up the good work.

Thanks,

Chris

Patiently waiting for the third installment. Keep up the good work Doc.

Thanks

Chris

Nath,

What are the issues with the newer Savage model 24? Inquiring minds want to know. Especially since I bought one last week for a walking around and always in the truck gun.

Chris

I think Hobie has the winning answer. If you have food on the table and a roof over your head i don't think I would part with it.

Dollar bills come and go but do you really think Grandpas knife will ever be available again?

Chris

1961 50 cent piece seems to make the most sense.

Chris

.388 win mag in a Ruger bolt action with a synthetic stock. Nice to carry all day, but no fun to shoot. Good thing the factory ammo is so expensive.

Chris

I can understand your hesitation. I have a sako bolt action .222 that was my grandfathers it came to me without the magazine . It was a little searching, to find a replacement magazine and it was not cheap.

Want and need are two very different things fortunately.

Chris

I'm a type 1 diabetic on Novalog and Lantus. I can highly recommend using a "pen" over the old style syringe. I would also recommend using the thinnest needle you can get into your hide. I use a BD ultra 31g 5/16" needle 4 times a day. If I'm paying attention when I inject myself it i...

I'm not very lucky when it comes to raffles. I've only won a lodge dutch oven (worth around $40)that cost me about $20 worth of tickets.

I guess its better than nothing.

Chris

My dad and myself both bought kits last spring when they were on sale. I think it was about $189.His was in good shape. Mine had 2 extra holes drilled in the stock maybe 1/8" dia. one on the forearm and one on the toe of the butstock. I exchanged mine and got some funny looks from the folks at ...

I have one of the Argentine military copies that I like really well. Heavy rubber grips and cheesy black kylon type finish; uglier then sin but nice to shoot. Anyone know what the load is that the sights are regulated for? I’ve tried several 124gr loads but they have all shot low. I was hesitant to ...

Try taking a look at some of the Mojo sights. Replaces the rear sight with a peep and is a drop in, so no permanent modifications.

Chris

I’ll second handrrandyrc. At 200 to 300 yards you will need a heavier bullet than a 55grn for decent accuracy in any kind of wind. Take a look at the bullets offered by Sierra and Hornady that are geared toward NRA Highpower/CMP shooting with the AR-15. My personal preference is for the 69grn sierra...

Please put my name in the hat. I would even be willing to run the scanner and send some emails to the less fortunate if it ends up at my house.

Thanks

Chris

Geoff, I have a owners manual from Remmington that I can scan in at work on Monday as well as the disasembly instructions I copied from one of the gun books if you are interested. The offer is open to anyone interested just PM me. Those are some really nice looking 8's/81's. Mine is not nearly that ...

This may not be exactly what your looking for but I found it interesting. “Baronets and Buffalo : The British Sportsman in the American West 1833-1881” By John I. Merritt. I thought enough of it to buy it for future reference after reading it from the library if that tells you anything.

Chris

Varget or IMI 3031 both work well in AR15's. Infact Varget and Dillion 550 progressive machines are used by most of the NRA Highpower rifle shooters at the club I belong to and produce match grade ammo with little fuss. A good micrometer seating die with a floating bullet guide is the secret to good...
