Didn't a member here conduct a test to debunk the theory that pointed bullets wouldn't hit hard enough to detonate the primer in front of it? It was a couple years back I recall. I know there is a video of leverevolution ammo where they drop a rifle from different heights to show the pointy rubber t...

Reloading to get all you can is great if that's what you're into. Might be fun but for hunting its not that necessary. I hunt elk with a few different calibers but my favorite is the 45-70. I don't reload so I've been using factory leverevolution 325 grain. I've killed 3 elk with them and they've pe...

You could get a really nice used jeep for half the price of a new razor 4 seater.
I never owned one but I have two friends that love their Suzuki Samuri for off roading. Small and light.

Glad you found your rifle. Of all my firearms, my favorite is my Winchester Trapper in .357. Great home defense, truck, rv gun.

In my opinion an accurate semi auto sniper rifle is a great choice for military or police. Movies always depict a sniper with a bolt making a one shot kill at super long ranges and having to shoot 1/4" groups. In reality police are more concerned with extreme accuracy at short ranges because of...

They will eat anything even rotten fish in ice or roadkill. Saw them eating out of dumpster in Prince Rupert! Was a harsh view of our national bird at first. I have always been taught that the Bald Eagle is to be the most respected bird in the world.....and they eat dead stuff???? I thought only bu...

I was a range master and taught a MP5/AR15 user and a patrol rifle course for our department. Officers had to buy their own rifles so I got to see and shoot several brands and variations.. All were AR 15s and one officer liked his mini 14. The one I think had the best trigger was Rock River Arms. Th...

What's snow? I worked on a retaining wall all day. It was a miserable 96°• About 2pm I was wishing for snow...or at least about 30° cooler. And this is spring?

Just kidding you guys. I love visiting or hunting in snow but just a couple weeks at a time. Got my fill in the Army .

My idea: The leader of each country wanting to war will stand as his nation's champion. Each champion will be stripped naked and buried to the waist within arms reach of the opposing champion. Each champion will be issued a sharpened deer antler (from the deer specie of their choice), and upon a pr...

I've hunted Wyoming for 25 years and was thinking of relocating there next year, or elsewhere in the Rockies, but PA is looking pretty good!

Charlie had some serious issues in his personal life a couple years ago and I don't believe he has regained the ambition to build anything.. I am scratch building a Marlin 1888 and an 1889 and can attest to fact that it don't take much distraction to slow or stop a project. Seems it has been about ...

jkbrea

I was looking at some old threads here and came across one that really impressed me. Charlie, a member, built a 40 cal Volcanic lever gun from scratch, machining everything including screws. He also built a pistol that was really cool. Unbelievable talent and probably the most on topic post in Lever...

If it was California, you could claim an endangered species of termites lives in them and they would make it a national park. :lol: If they are your trees they definitely have value and it seems logical they would have to reimburse you if they actually removed them.

I posted last week about my garmin gps not working. After Garmin telling me to just buy a new one I actually got an email asking me to take a survey. Haha. I took it alright.

I wonder if any manufacturer will make a Trump edition .45 since he's the 45th President?

Overturn some of these stupid gun laws and I'll buy one? 1911 or SA?

I'd be tempted to look for loose connections: Battery terminals (where the wires are soldered to them), and if you disassemble the unit ("may void warranty" :roll: ) look for any corrosion or loose solder joints. Put the batteries in or hook the proper voltage up somehow, when the case is...

jkbrea

Do use one? I have a Garmin etrex that I bought in 2006. This year I tried to use it on a hunt. The screen was just lines or partially faded out. I have used this unit for probably no more than 10 total hours, changed batteries every year, and it looks brand new. I contacted Garmin and they said it'...

I have one made by Pedersoli, EMF was the importer. It is a very well made replica and shoots great. New ones are still inported and range from $1200-$2200 depending on modle. If it's a Davide Pedersoli $600 would be a steal. I talked to the owner. Its not a Pedersoli . I'll give you $600 for yours...

jkbrea

Thanks for the advice. I passed on it. He even said it wasn't " the good one". Like they they, "If it sounds too good to be true..."

jkbrea

Is $600 a good deal for a EMF Sharps 45-70. I don't know what model it is yet. Seller bought it years ago and says he is the second owner and has fired 20 rounds out of it. He puts it at 90% with minor safe marks. I always liked Sharps rifles but don't know much about them other than real ones are w...

That's insane! Must be a total rush though.

I've hunted elk for 25 years. I started with a 7mm mag. Since then I've used a bolt action 30-06 and .308, and a lever action 45-70, and 30-30 . In my opinion, if I had to stick with one, it would be my Tikka stainless 30-06 with a box mag. It's the most practical for all weather and lightweight. Bu...

That is sad. Didn't he move to AZ to retire and mine for gold? I remember his posts. Very entertaining.

jkbrea

Well, you asked for honesty. Personally I think it's frigging ugly . No offense intended. Looks like you put thought into. the design. I really don't think the average lever gun needs to handle better or shoot faster. Most love the way they carry and shoulder. I do like the rails and have them on tw...

Good to hear he and his boys are still out hunting. Didn't intend to bring up anything negative. I was just wondering because like Blaine said, he would always make the offer to house anyone needing it during the holidays and the upcoming months reminded me of that selfless offer.. Plus he had great...

86er? I really enjoyed his hunting posts and expertise advice. If I'm prying I apologize and disregard. Wish him the best.

Last month I went on my annual Wyoming elk hunt, except in an area I never sent foot in. Usually I hunt west of Jackson, but due to dropping numbers, did not draw a tag in that area for the first time in 25 years. So I got a leftover cow tag for an area about 75 mi east of Jackson, north of Pinedale...

Looks like a Hillary supporter waking up last Wednesday morning

Leaving tomorrow.This will make 25 years straight of hunting elk in Wyoming. But the first year in a different area. Picked up a cow tag and got my buddy and brother to go. Should be fun. Hope to post some pics in a couple weeks.

Welcome back brother!

California L.E. has been hit especially hard this week. A Sgt. with LASO executed in Lancaster, two officers gunned down for no reason in Palm Springs and another injured in the same incident. Another officer in that area was run down on his motorcycle by an impaired driver yesterday and is in criti...

Awesome hunt. Congrats on a nice bull.
I'm headed to Wyoming next week with a cow tag. Can't wait.

Nice bull! Where did you hunt?

I've shot about a dozen elk with 165 gr or 180 gr Nosler Partitions out of 7mm, 30-06 and .308 and they have always performed great. The rest was with 45-70 leverevolutions

jkbrea

Wow Les, that is a beautiful rifle! I would love to be in the brush chasing elk with that.

Not cardboard but when I was in charge of a range, we hit up a gravel yard and cement company and they gave us all the old conveyor belts when they changed them out. 2.5' to 3' wide and easy to cut scribing it with a razorblade cutter then bending. Nail or screwed onto a 2x4 frame they last for mont...

I love my .357 Winchester trapper for camping, traveling, home defense etc. Years ago I really wanted one of those over/under .22/ .410 for a truck gun but never did get it.

Thank you all. Been great. In Glenwood Springs , Co with my brother floating the Colorado and Roaring Forks river trout fishing. Leaving tomorrow for Sturgis with both brothers. 1st time doing Sturgis.. Can't wait.

Any time you are in that upper country the possibility of a Grizzly encounter exists. Not an everyday occurance but still a possibility. Be aware, go prepared. Carry heavy-duty bear spray and know how to use it and be able to access it instantly. In the 25 years of hunting Wyoming, I've only had tw...

jkbrea

Thanks Les. Not sure if it includes Green River Lakes or is north of it. I'll PM when I find out. The woman I spoke to said ATV are allowed on lots of trails. I usually park and go in on foot a few miles. G&F were very helpful and gave me a number to the game warden to get some info on the area.

jkbrea

This is the first time in 25 years I didn't draw either a general elk tag or leftover cow tag. I've always hunted unit 85 or 84 and a couple nearby ones around Jackson. Everything is sold out but there are cow tags for unit 95. Have any of you ever hunted there. Its north of Pinedale and S/W of Dubo...

Saw this while browsing. California legal too.

Not a rifle, no bayonet lug, pistol grip etc...A little pricey but looks fun.
