I have about 15 years to go but I figure on doing one of three things

A) Run for public office....county commissioner or school board.

B) Mission work

C) Fall off the grid entirely

Every Sunday for several years I sat next to a elderly gentleman named 'Curly'. It was not until the last year of his life I came to realize he was highly decorated USMC NCO from WWII. He had made 3 landings during the war, combat wounded a dozen times (4 purple hearts awarded). He had made the land...

That is a fine looking firearm......you rightfully should be proud of it.

I hope it provides you years of service and wonderful memories.

I have to chime in with agreement that $250 for a Marlin 336 chambered in 38-55 is a good deal. I can't think of any big or medium game in the lower 48 that rifle would not be ideal for.

And if it is as well put together as it sounds like it is, I'll bet she is a tack driver.

Alright Mr El Mac.... Lets start with "Science, economics, and rhetoric: environmental advocacy and the wolf reintroduction debate" as published by the Rocky Mountain Research Station and the USDA Or the USFWS Wolf reintroduction program review from 2005. Both of these are generally pro re...

Very cool project.....I'm sure we all would like to hear more about it and see some more pictures. How did you refinish the receiver? Did you replace the barrel or get it rebored? Tell us about the new wood. How does it shoot? I look forward to do something similar. I want a 38-55 carbine and a 7-30...

Mr El Mac at what point did you feel I was advocating their wholesale destruction? I was only questioning the wisdom of reintroduction. Many people seem to think that since there were wolves here or there once we should bring them back now. That was then and this is now. 300 years ago in Michigan th...

wm

Mr El Mac....please carefully reread my posts. Elk and other game animals are hemmed in by city, highway, and natural barriers. That is why in the modern sense wolves are so much more destructive. Or put simply if you took an area say 50 mile by 50 mile and fenced it in with say 500 elk and 20 wolve...

In the spirit of ardent but cordial debate let me reply to two points you made. "There was no imbalance before man came along. Wolves didn't continue to populate and clear the West of all deer, rabbits, elk, etc. -- man did." This is absolutley true & correct for the time being discuss...

wm

Wolves are prolific reproducers and will devour any thing edible in their territory. The only natural limit on their population is starvation.....and that will only kick in when all the deer, elk, rabbit, etc are gone. That is not opinion.....that is sceintific fact. If you want a large population o...

I reload for everything I shoot (including 44spl/mag) because I just feel I need to be as independent about such things as is humanly possible.

And besides once you get into reloading as a hobby it is actually pretty enjoyable.

darn....I am sure glad you found that before me. Otherwise I would be $500 lighter in the wallet and in whole lot of trouble with the Family Exchequer! :lol: You did really well....I confess to having an itch for a 32 WS.

I think the Whitneyville revolver was called a 'smoot'. I think they date back to the late 1860s and early 1870s.

I have seen them here and there on occasion but don't really know much more than that.

I hope that helps.

One last thought....fixed power scopes are generally a little more rugged (fewer moving parts) And fixed 2X will have a wider field of view then a variable scope set at 2X.

Interesting to me because I was thinking about asking my ex brother in law (the welder, machinist, tool & die, edm operator) about making me up 4 or 5 large loops for Marlin lever actions.

I would advocate trying aperture sights. You might be surprised how good you can shoot them out to 200 yards. The trick is learning 'the hold over' at those longer ranges. One thing I had noticed mentioning was using a long eye relief scope in a scout set up on your rifle. You might consider that to...

What Mr Miller said... I had a co worker bring a 94 to me that was doing exactly what you described...but only when it was cold, you know like hunting conditions. :?

I sight all of my rifles so that they are zeroed in at 100 yards and then I figure out the drop from there at 50 yard increments for what ever hunting load I am using out of that rifle.

That's my kind of rifle! Honest wear like that trips my trigger.

My buddy Jeff likes them minty, 98% or better condition. I like them with honest wear like you described.

That is probably why we get along so well....we make a good team at the gun shows!

Survived once for 23.89 seconds but most of the time I seem to be in the 12 to 14 second range.
