    Colorado Wolves

    I live in Wy. Wolves had been planted here and were spreading out in the area. Of course they also protected the grizzlies. I guess they moved grizzlies all over the state. Seven years after giving us non-native wolves they were out of the park moving into areas they were not expected in. I live...

    Ever wonder what John Taffin looks like?

    Back yonder a few years I met quite a few of the "Gun Writers". Most of 'em were pretty decent fellows. Elmer was a hoot with his stories. Jack O'Connor...not so much. I had a few guns owned by gun writers...only one left though. Savage 99C in 250 Savage. Doubt it's been shot 20 times Purty...

    Ruger vs S&W Revolvers

    Any truly thinking person would know the 45 is better. I have carried 45s since I was 19. I carried my Wilson Combat but lately I don't carry it. There are literally hundreds of people who would love to have one...maybe even finding a way to confiscate a legally carried piece. I still carry a 45...

    Ruger vs S&W Revolvers

    I've never had to send a S&W back to the factory. I've never had to send a Ruger back to the factory. I must say I do prefer Ruger SAs. I also have to say I prefer S&W DAs. I carried way back but carried an N(S) frame . I have Ruger DAs and admit I had quite a few. I only have 2 Ruger DAs now. I...

    I guess you are right...when we're gone what does IT matter? But to me it does matter...Stupid I know! I happen to have 9 D grade 1100s and F grade Rem 11. Couple of sets of small gauge 1100s and even the same in 870. Only worth a couple grand each...but these things seem like they have a...
