For over twenty years before I moved to Wyoming, I would drive there from California to hunt elk. I usually took two rifles as did my brother. The trip was 900 miles. We usually stayed in Las Vegas or Provo for a night and always took our rifles into the hotel room. Leaving them in a vehicle in the ...

Thank you! Had a great day. I had my three boys together for the first time in years...and all the grandkids!!

That's so cool!

After the post about commemoratives, I bid on GB for a Legendary Lawman. No one was bidding on it. Pics were horrible and it looked beat. I emailed the seller. He assured me it was like new and possibly unfired. He was selling it for a third party. He was also a LEO from a neighboring agency I used ...

That LL Winchester went for over $7000 on GB!

We have 3 that we loan out at our gunclub. Most people don't use any weight and it still takes out much of the recoil. They weigh about 7-10 lbs. A 25 lb barbell weight fits in it perfect, or a couple sandbags. I've never heard of a stock getting cracked. It does add an inch or so to the stock lengt...

They told me they have 325gr Solid Brass FP rounds. I don't know much about brass rounds for elk but I assume they penetrate well. I think I'll use the leverevolution rounds and wait for the 400 grain ones.

jkbrea

I always alternate my elk hunting rifles between a Tikka 30-06 and Marlin 45-70. I like both but in Grizzley country I like the 45-70. I don't reload. I've used 325 gr Leverevolution ammo successfully on 3 elk. With the ammo shortage, dealers were asking up to $120 a box! I searched and found Steine...

If I could even afford #000, I'd shoot the heck out of it. I just wanted one because I was a LEO for 30 years and the Legendary Lawman would've been cool. I like some of the commemoratives, John Wayne, Wyoming, Cowboy....

I sent a message and got this back....

Oh well....not like I have a chance for it!

jkbrea

I always wanted a Legendary Lawman but never seemed to find one I could afford. I'll keep looking though!
But I have a question....I thought the LL was first made on 1977. How is ser# 000 made in 1978...or am I missing something?

I carry my Freedom Arms .45 Colt in a crossdraw and it's surprisingly comfortable. In semi-auto I have a S&W Shield or Springfield EMP

That is really interesting reading! That's great that you put in that time and effort. I have a quick question. You refer to Camp McClellan in Alabama. I assume it was changed to Ft. McClellan? I only asked because I went to basic and AIT for MP school there. Or is that a different place? Oh...and w...

I always used any regular gun oil but the last few years I've been using Lucas Gun Oil. I'm really happy with it. I get it from the counter at NAPA auto parts! A small bottle is about $4 and goes a long way.

I hunt elk and antelope. I use a Tikka T3 lite 30-06 with a Leupold VX3 and a Marlin 45-70 with a quick release Leupold scout scope. Never understood the need for magnums in heavy timber out here. I had a 7mm Rem Mag but didn't enjoy shooting it. Out of 20+ elk, almost all were 100 yards or less. Lo...

When I was a LEO, Lt. Col. Grossman gave a lecture to our P.D.. I'm not into listening to speakers but he was very good. It was about the same time this book came out. It was the first time I heard of the sheepdog, sheep, and wolves anology. Personally I haven't read a book in a long time but maybe ...

While running our range, I've seen several 50 cals. Most are Barretts or Bushmaster. A guy showed up with a 50 cal. It was about half the size of a Bushmaster. I can't recall the brand. He said it was his second one. The first one cracked a weld between the barrel and receiver after his first shot!!...

From personal experience and running a gun club, I have seen hundreds of different scopes come through here. Vortex is definately one of the most popular here in the past couple years for long distance and hunting. One observation I have is their cheap priced models, in my opinion, are junk. I've se...

That's so awesome! I heard about it here a couple days back.

Oh! ..for shooting pHeasants!

Long range shooting and sniping are two different things that share several skills but have different objectives and equipment. Long range guys take a long time calculating shots. Snipers sometines have no time for that. Prior to retirement, I had the privilege of training with some guys from Corona...

A friend told me about Optics and Ammo website. They are based out of Houston. It looks legit but prices on ammo were lower than most. They have numerous products listed. He called me today and said the company is a fraud. I looked it up on BBB site. There are felony theft charges filed on the compa...

I'm no gunsmith but I have a Winchester 9422 that was doing the same thing. I would cycle it and the hammer would not stay back. I could thumb it back manually and it would fire. I removed the stock and used breakfree to clean the bolt and inside parts. After it dried, I oiled it lightly and now it ...

You got yourself a really great old rifle! :D I like that you kept it original. A lot of them have been heavily sporterized over the years. My own '03A3 has a two groove barrel and it shoots cast lead bullets very well. As for scoping them, it can be done without being sacrilege. I used the USMC sc...

Running a gun club, I get to meet great people. A member recently asked if I wanted a Rem 1903A3, 30-06. He loaned it out and got it back minus the stock. It was switched out, then lost. I said how much and he said if I get a stock for it, I could have it. He delivered it and it was sweet. Not a spe...

Thats what I thought but its hard to make out. It is very well made. Very solid.
I really like it. Now I may have to buy another SAA to get all the use from it!

Can anyone ID who makes this holster? It was given to me. It fits my old model Vaquero perfect except it's made for a 7 1/2" barrel. It seems very well made. I can't make out the logo. It is stamped 22 07 on the back. 20210219_110921.jpg 20210219_111845.jpg 20210219_110905.jpg 20210219_110823.j...

Good to see you back. Is that the Pala Range near Escondido?

jkbrea

My own opinion is have a quality firearm and keep it clean and servicable. Most factory ammo will go bang. Pinpoint accuracy isn't as important inside a home or close quarters confrontation. Just get the lead out! From 30 years in L.E. these are a few crazy things I've seen in regards to firearms. A...

I carry this 5 shot .45 Colt most days. Especially when hiking with my dogs in the backwoods. I love it even though I have several other "practical" options. Has an.45 ACP cylinder too

I'm done hunting this season. I did alright this year. Ended up with 2 antelope and 3 elk. The bull was shot at about 125 yards in October in some hard to pack out area! Getting too old,(lazy), to pack them quarters that far, about 3 miles. Luckily my brother helped and it only took two trips. The c...

I had a rt shoulder replacement in 2013. Only regret was not doing it earlier. I was in constant pain. After the replacement and rehab I'm 100% pain free. Only difference is range of motiin reaching behind. I was shooting and hunting 5 mo later. I used a 30-30 that fall. As far as shooting, I got ri...

I've had one for a few years. It's a great shooter and everyday carry. I like it when riding my Harley. I have a much more expensive Sprinfield EMP that I like but am afraid of losing it while riding. In this colder weather I'm actually packing a 5 shot Freedom Arms .45 Colt with a 3.5" barrel....

Trail riding is fun. What parts did you ride? Desert, woods,?? I have a side x side Arctic Cat,(Textron). Since moving to Wyoming I've started riding trails. Nothing crazy. Just throw in an ice chest, fishing poles and extra gas can. Share some pics if you have them.
Good luck to you!

jkbrea

Looks like you'rerecovering nicely! I purrchased the PTR 9 about 2 years ago. It came with the arm brace which is a "must have". By far the most fun gun I have. Of all my guns, that is the one all my kids and g-kids want to shoot. I was assigned an H&K MP5 for 13 years. Loved it. The P...

Bummer..just found out it was cancelled. My work sent me last year. It was amazing, especially Industry Day when you can shoot any number of various firearms.

At the gun club I run, Vortex is one the most popular scope. I have one a Ruger Precision and its great. I've used it to hit just over a mile and monthly dial up and down from 100 to 1100 yds and it stays consistent. I bought it used and an hour after I mounted it on my rifle, a wind came up, blew i...

Never paid much attention to Chiappa firearms. I've never shot one so I am not qualified to judge them. But....that rhino revolver is the ugliest hunk of metal I've ever seen. And some have a msrp of over $1000! I could think of much better pistols to buy for far less. To each his own.
