    Another reason I want my neighbors armed.

    I'd like to differentiate right now the difference between killing a loose and aggressive dog on MY property... and randomly going onto someone else's property (without warning) and shooting their dog inside their own yard or home. Now, if LEO are responding to a call on a loose dog that is...

    Gouges in Freebore

    While inconsequential to accuracy, I'm going to also bet that they've been there since the chamber was cut.

    Another reason I want my neighbors armed.

    Yep, time for people to start taking precautions. At this point, anyone local who allows themselves to be attacked without carrying a proper means of defense is just ignorant. ***** Have a local friend who was bow hunting last season. He had a pack come underneath his tree, on his scent. He...

    Another reason I want my neighbors armed.

    I am sure that I have made a few enemies on here over my position that packs of feral dogs should get treated like packs of coyotes. I don't care. I've had four run up on me before while I was checking game cameras, and they didn't back down until the lead bitch (who growled at me) took a...

    Another reason I want my neighbors armed.

    A lot of people don't believe that packs of feral dogs have this capability, but they are awfully incorrect in that belief. What an unfortunate situation for this family.

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    Played cat and mouse for 15 minutes with this bitch until she finally broke from cover and damn near ran up me. 150gr SST (.308) directly into the chest. No exit. This is either #4 or 5 that I've had that result with. I then went across the road and popped a sow on my neighbors.

    No guns for trannies?

    I'm more of a fan of knocking off the bullshit prosecution and intentional financial ruin by a scum-sucking DA - of those who legally defend themselves. Reimburse that grand jury lawyer cost to the defendant with the money saved in "entitlements" to the deceased (unrealistic). Or better (and...

    No guns for trannies?

    I guarantee that they'll go after combat vets with PTSD regardless. We're just a generation (at max) away from that legislation getting voted on. 1. The NICS was denying sales for "Have you ever been adjucated as a mental defective OR..." a long time ago. I don't see the stretch between...

    Node at different barrel lenght

    The simple, yet frustrating answer: - Maybe. Maybe not. Barrels are individuals, so the guarantee that his load will be equally good in your barrel isn't there. However, certain cartridge/bullet/powder combinations seem to do well in many barrels. You'll have to shoot it to see.

    SpecWar graduation gift?

    I guess the mods deleted the necrothread revival post. Looks like it was an AI bot then.

    Let’s argue/discuss- Storing cocked or not?

    I have quite a few old guns that are going to need to be dry fired to 'un-cock' unfortunately (side by side shotguns, Colt Woodsmans etc...). I try to use snap caps for those. A few years ago I rescued a neglected Remington Model 11 from my in-laws that was made in 1909. AFAIK, my F-I-L...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Has the Bloom Come Off Early Pythons

    I am reviving a four-month deceased thread. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been bit by the original Python bug again. I have one of the strike-era blued Pythons that is 98% with box... but it is a 1986, and every collector knows that it isn't worth as much. It is a decent shooter and...

    SpecWar graduation gift?

    Either this is an AI bot, an AI bot trying to sell stuff outside the forum rules, or an opportunity to learn how to check the little date at the top left hand corner of each post before one replies. The OP's kid brother is counting down to retirement at this point. :LOL:

    Critter ID ?

    I agree with the "large canine" crowd. Cat tracks aren't going to have claw prints. Black bear claws are usually longer and have angle to them (best term I can think of without coffee at 0530). Soft ground makes everything appear larger. You should see the size of some of the paws that...
