    Hunting & Fishing cry wolf the real reason wolves were introduced

    Re: cry wolf the real reason wolves were introduced Great video! That's home town for me, I've know most the ranchers in the video all my life and some of the livestock kill pictures I've seen first hand. Hell, I grew up on one of the ranches in the video and talked to them the other day...

    1426 yard deer

    Re: 1426 yard deer From the guys I know and my own experience with long range hunting, long range hunters are more concerned with quickly dispatching an animal than your average hunter, ya there are some idiots but everyone has them to the same degree. I do think that with long range hunting...

    1426 yard deer

    Re: 1426 yard deer Very good post Wadcutter!! Since starting to take game at long range I've passed on more shots than ever before, I pay more attention to more variables than ever. Having the ability to read conditions and make a LR shot has made my hunting at normal ranges a 100% better...

    Gunsmithing Converting a Rem LA MAG to a WSM

    Re: Converting a Rem LA MAG to a WSM I'm looking at changing over a Rem 700 in 7mag to 270 WSM, looks like a minor tune up to the rear portion of the feed rails, don't like that it then seems like to much room. I've heard that there is a mid length action in the works for WSM's but don't know...

    1426 yard deer

    Re: 1426 yard deer Those who can do, those who can't bitch!!! I've shot game at mere feet with wood bow and arrow and I've shot game at long range with dedicate rifles and gear, they are the same and take the same amount of preparation and skill. I don't hunt to dance with it I hunt to kill...

    Gunsmithing How important is DRO on a lathe

    Re: How important is DRO on a lathe Gunsmith work is the epitome light duty work, everything is turned on dead center and for most the heaviest thing we'll swing is an action truing jig. Some of the best still use the Southbends and they are nothing in the heft department, the new one's are...

    Gunsmithing How important is DRO on a lathe

    Re: How important is DRO on a lathe I going with the PM 12x36 with DRO, if you look at the difference between the two machines its quite significant, the smaller one has double the speeds, quick change tool post and DRO for the same money as a plain 13x40. I don't think there is a quality...

    Hunting & Fishing Getting rid of a bobcat

    Re: Getting rid of a bobcat Snaring bobcats is not as easy as it looks, they can slip through a small loop, I use light cable and load it and use locks that move easy, they will fall with a slight touch! Leg hold trapping a bobcat is a piece of cake, curiosity always kills the cat.

    Re: Nitride Barrel Treatment - what do you know Has anyone had a barrel done at MMI in the last few weeks? I've been trying to get one in and the smith that I go through has been shut down at MMI due to Remington flooding them with work and they are not accepting batches from us regular guys...

    Gunsmithing Tools needed for an average mans at home smithing?

    Re: Tools needed for an average mans at home smithing? The torque wrench was at the top of my list, why buy all kinds of other tools to do precision measuring and cutting and then wing it on final assembly? I like to know that everything within my control is done correctly.

    Gunsmithing Question about why to use a reamer holder

    Re: Question about why to use a reamer holder I have a 3 MT tool holder for my tool post so I square it to the barrel face then put the GTR holder in the tool holder with the collar and reamer removed. I then center it up on the barrel bore by eye which gets it real close, then I fine tune it...

    Gunsmithing Question about why to use a reamer holder

    Re: Question about why to use a reamer holder I hold my reamer solid in a GTR holder, more or less the same as using a dead center and pushing only it had adjustable collar to hold the reamer from turning and in alignment. NO floating, I've only chambered about a dozen barrels but I've never...

    Hunting & Fishing linThe .45-70...questions about her...

    Re: linThe .45-70...questions about her... If your shooting longer ranges go with heavier bullets because they have the snort out farther and are more accurate. But for hunting inside 300yrds the lighter 300gr hollow points are the best for lighter game because they open and drop things. I've...

    Re: linThe .45-70...questions about her... Try some 300gr hollow points, round points and the 405 flat points suck on deer, I mean really suck!! The 300gr hollow points will flatten stuff and take all will to live out of them!
