Boy's, shooting has been a little slow, since I'm a little short of bullets. Today, I set up my new propane burner (65,000 BTU's) and tried it out. Much better than my camp stove. I cast a bunch of 38-40 bullets, so expect a range report for my 'new' original Winchester Model 1873 later this week. I also got a decent camera, finally! I'm looking forward to turning out a very nice Calendar for 2011. In the meantime, I took a shot of my office. I didn't clean it up or anything; this is the way it pretty much looks most of the time, except once every few months when I tidy it up. That's a deer hide draped over my office chair .... it makes it a lot more comfortable to sit in for hours at a time. The four Winchesters on the left are, from top to bottom:
Winchester Model 1894 38-55 made in 1899
Winchester Model 53 44-40 made in 1928
Winchester Model 53 32-20 made in 1926
Winchester Model 1886 45-70 Extra Lightweight take down, made in 1901
The other rifle to the right is a Winchester Model 1873 38-40 made in 1891.

cedars and a magnificent Whitetail buck framed in the semi-buckhorn sights of a 120-year old Winchester.
