We had a nice eclipse experience in Grandview, TX, yesterday! Fortuitous break in the clouds for the event while we were on a nice quiet Texas guest ranch. Bonus, a longhorn cow gave birth to a calf about 120 yards from us. Literally giving birth as the eclipse started! She nursed it and...

Hi Kevin, We arrived at our guest ranch, just south of Dallas/Ft.Worth, late yesterday. We brought plenty of food so we don’t have to drive anywhere else. (Guns & money too (no lawyers 😉) We can just hunker down and enjoy. Hopefully the sun will poke through the clouds tomorrow. But I road...

GrizzlyClay, congrats on the find! I can’t believe there were 2 on GB. I’d been checking there for years, and was on dozens of ‘notify me’ lists. I’m just happy I found one. Your custom 4.6 in was something I had been considering doing if I didn’t get a Toklat.

So what’s the story on this? Yours? Photoshopped?

I was also told that Toklat means pale or white in a local native language. That Toklat River apparently has a milky color at times. The First Toklat reference I ever heard was for a “Toklat Griz”.A blond phase grizzly bear. (Kinda like a white buffalo eh?)

I’d like to see a 4in barrel version of the SRH Alaskan or Toklat. They can call it the Canuck 😆

It was pricey, and new, but I had been having a lot of trouble finding one, much less a new one. I’d probably even paid more for it. “I want what I want” 😉😆

HiYa BisleyBuff, I think your post is still on topic. I originally planned to replace the wood with the tactical stocks on the Rossi website. But the stock fits me, and I don’t want to lighten up the rifle. Plus the wood is sweet. I was thinking of having the SS made into a matte finish and...

The turkey experiment should be interesting! I remember the crickets started up, the night birds started flying and I heard a few disoriented coyote yips. It was both Erie and cool. (Literally and figuratively) Be sure to let us know the results of ‘the experiment’

Hi Trapperon, Yes I received the rings and extra sights. What is the purpose of the extra sights? Perhaps they are better if you add a scope? The sights on it now seem better than my old SRH, but that old revolver was from the 1st or 2nd year they made them in 454. (and I had a scope on it, so...

That Toklat now lives in my gun safe! It may be a week or two before I fire it up. (Thank you upcoming time change for the after work range time. ) While picking up the Toklat at my LGS, they happened to have a used wrangler for $199, so somehow that ended up on the 4473. 🤔 it ‘looks’ like it...

The wife and I have planned a 14 hr road trip to go see it in TX (from CO). Although ANY excuse to take some PTO off work, and go on a ‘road trip’, is a good excuse, this is a pretty cool one! I drove to the NE panhandle to see the last one. Once you experience totality, you want to do it...

I’d avoid PFAS chemicals in your cookware, you don’t need to risk anymore forever chemicals contamination in your diet than we already have. I believe that includes all non-stick coatings. (I also was advised to not use aluminum years ago. Aluminum sucks for cooking anyway.) Especially since...

Some great information and ideas on this thread! I had been searching for any lever action in 454 casull for years. (I have the dies and brass already) I literally stumbled upon a new R92 in 454 recently. My previous lever action experience was with Marlins, so this rifle is a new and pleasant...
