I'd park and walk to a bow stand along the first cut of a plowed field. Deep sand it was quiet I headed back after sunup to grab a bite and their were prints on top of mine. He picked me up 20yds from the truck and followed to within 10 yds of the tree, I 'd taken a shot at a big bobcat and...

I've had several Cougar run-ins while out and about some close enough to touch. One in particular. I took a female friend that wanted to video deer out one evening to a lease that was sure to present plenty of opportunity. I put a small brush blind in front of us looking out on a wheat...

A tip from an old Brownell's gunsmith tricks of the trade. Applicable to most if not all firearms. Generously coat action with Clover C-grade lapping compound work action repeatedly while watching TV. Never use file on any action. Clean in boiling water and baking soda. Oil and reassemble...

all rounds primed alike? Before I started performing surgery I might switch ammo. You didn't mention source, primers or seating suspect? Probably not germane in your case, just a thought. Had similar experience w/ commercial 25-06 one time. Fired on second strike.

What little I've shot it the 140 Nosler has been the most impressive. With very little jump

I appreciate your input. I knew the barrel was inadequate. I just pulled it out of the closet where it was stored muzzle down and noticed some rust around the crown and sight band. Been there for years w/o a problem. Wicked moisture from the carpet I guess. Man I hate it like a toothache...

Sights and a grey wool bag w/rings RS

Yep a rigid. Roadrunner I think. A nephew found my cedar box w/a few of my favorites. He proceeded to throw the sheaths on the tile floor as targets. It curled the tip and cut a sheath a buddy made for it. The guy who did the leather and I went to a huge knife place called House of Blades...

Many years ago I had firearms stolen by a condo manager and maint. man, working in concert they hit every tenant in the complex. I vowed to never let that repeat. Years later I met a fellow named Bob who my bank contracted to do their key, lock and safe work. I said Bob I'm considering buying...

Ex outlaws in Twin Falls Couere D' Alene Elk hunt and dog races miss them more than the x

Looking for the link

I haven't priced any of these custom actions or barrels these guys shoot. Calibers run from small wildcats to 300 WM and the various BMG's. I'd like something that can compete but within reason. I've got an Interarms M98 type action in 22-250 screwed to a Douglas barrel and Mc Millan stock. No...

I bought a 1970 M-77 RS new in 73. It was my intention to buy a M-70 .270 the hardware store advertised. That's how old I am, you could paint and semi-auto pistols in one stop. Little did I know the wily old gent took advantage of my youth steering me away from the popular .270 to this dog he...

How is everybody. Been checking this forum for many years because it is an excellent source of info and opinion. I would like some input on a couple of things so I'll go to the proper venue to post. Thanks for the answers on a wide variety of questions you've helped with in the past. I'm an...
