Sorry Bill but I can't stand professional sports. Why you ask? They are all over paid, they play a game and as such they do not produce anything to civilization in my eyes. I don't watch any of them.

Re: Winchester 65 218 Bee

Well I ordered a Weaver side mount base and ring set this morning, figure if I buy this gun it's cheaper to go that way than get a stock, front and rear sites to get it shooting. Of course the scope will also allow me to wring out it's potential accuracy. I might even request info from the Cody Muse...

Re: article ...... Marlin 1894 Classic receives 2023 Editor's Choice Award

I still say more people like all of us should be hounding Ruger, Henry, Browning, and now S&W for the -20 cartridges! Then if more folks found the joys of 25-20 & 32-20 , heck even the -40s , more ammo and brass would be produced.

Re: Missed it by that much!

I only got 1 from an auction site, I was the only bid. I once watched an auction for a 2wt fly rod, a couple days and the high bid was still way low of the reserve, 150 bucks I think. I hit the buy now for I knew it was worth more than 150 and I wanted it. The only and only time I've used ' fleabay' .
