    Maggie’s when I was a baby I was so ugly_______

    Saw him live at one of the Atlantic City Casinos in the early 1980's. His live shows are a tad raunchier than his TV performances. Not Eddie Murphy dirty though. "I don't ever do well with used cars...The best second car for me to have would be a tow truck". "I hate buying a used car...Every...

    Ranges leading up to deer season....

    Tough time of the year for hunters and shooters who do truly, do it properly. Watched a guy last year shooting his deer rifle over a car, jack stand. Chewed up the forend on the steel , didn't seem to care. Or the guy shooting a .300 Rem Ultra Mag off a lead sled, and STILL flinching...

    American Sniper

    I will be VERY surprised if they DON'T fuck it up. Though with Clint Eastwood behind it...Maybe there IS some hope for a good telling of the story.

    Hunting & Fishing New hunting rifle project for my sons

    Many years back I had a little SAKO sporter, on the short Vixen action in .25-.222 Rem mag. IIRC it was at that times possibly called a .25 Copperhead? It came with a set of custom dies, and load data. Forget the data but it was a great killer on deer/antelope with 87 gr standard Hornady slugs...

    Hunting & Fishing Eric Stecker Responds To Boone And Crockett’s Position On Long Range Shooting

    I worked for the MT Hwy patrol for 23 years. When I started we were still trained to be "Ex Offico" Game Wardens. Meaning if we saw a F&G violation we could investigate and make an arrest if it wasn't too time consuming. Otherwise turn it over to the Wardens. Most of my career I worked in an...

    Hunting & Fishing First Gradous Kill !!!

    Congrats on a nice bull. In my opinion...ANY elk, taken fair chase is a trophy. They can be really tough at times. I used to hunt an area in Western MT near the ID border that was thick with elk and some tremendous whitetail bucks. Within 10 years of the wolf reintroduction they migrated...

    Ammo Can projects?

    Built a pair of motorcycle panniers/cases for a guys BMW R100 about 20 years back. Used a pair of 20mm cans, made brackets out of square tubing, welded to the cans. Then a frame to attach the cans to the bike. Only issue...HEAVY and a PITA to get into the cans when you wanted too. And they...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    IIRC that picture was taken out by Troy. No idea on weight. Few years back my neighbors son in Law killed a bear with a .40 S&W and 180 gr HP/FMJ mix. Two rds to the skull killed it. He was someplace in Western MT bowhunting when he was charged. I know very little about the incident, Size...

    About to get banned off the S&W forum

    Frank237 here......SWCA #2428. What did you do now? Use the word Democrat or Republican in a post? You didn't mention the M word did You? Muslim. I got reprimanded once for CRAP, and another time for referring to Chinese ringneck pheasants as CHINKS. Good site for S&W stuff though. FN in MT

    Winchester Model 63 Super Speed and Super X Question

    Winchester Model 1903 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first thing that came to my mind regarding the nickel finish...possibly used by an Exhibition shooter? I have never seen an 03 in nickel, but I am NOT a Winchester Expert either. i'd check on the Winchester Collectors forum...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry

    To the OP...FWIW....I have a 4 1/4" Ed Brown Commander sized 1911 in .45 acp. Been carrying it at 4:00 or so, in a Milt Sparks summer Special or their VM-II rig. I carry a spare mag off to 8:00 or so. I've got several SIG's and a few HK's but prefer the EB as it's very accurate, great...

    6x47 Lapua die question......

    If I already have REDDING neck bushing dies for my 6.5x47 L can I simply buy the proper NECK BUSHING and load 6x47's ?? I'd need a dedicated SEATING die I assume...but could I get by with simply bushings VS a new size die? FN in MT

    I think my favorite .222 700VS is shot out...what would you build?

    My FIRST thought. But...as a Cooper bolt gun owner in .222 Rem......Can't go wrong with a .222 either. One of those nice conundrums...EITHER choice is a good one.

    Chainsaw brand??

    Just used my STIHL today to trim a few hundred branches on a few dozen Russian olive trees. Been NEEDING to do some trimming for about 5 years now. Used a new STIHL tree trimmer but did use my old saw to cut up the bigger stuff and some pine branches off my neighbors pines. My STIHL is...
