Re: Anyone shoot the 22 TCM round?
It is a hoot to shoot! loud as heck, not recoil to speak of, more accurate than I am anymore, turns fruit into juice (shooting over ripe apples from about 15 yards they just disappear), will slice right through old shovel heads and car doors. Might be a good close in varmint handgun but would probab...

Re: Need help with pack rat
I have had really good luck using Starburst Fruit chews for bait in rat traps. You get them a little warm and mold them to the trigger, make sure it takes a little effort to spring the trap so it does go off just by them bumping it. They will work hard a getting the candy chewed off of the trigger.

Nice! I have a 2x Leupold on my SBH and it has served me well for 20 years or so. I also have a Simmons Prohunter 4x pistol scope that is holding up to my 7mm-08 Lone eagle. Cheap scope but if it takes the recoil form the LE a 44 mag SBH should be no problem.
