Ouch! That really hurt, Greener. I found plenty of critters down here, but God's country is surely has some of the most beautiful places in the world. When I was in Kalispell/Hungry Horse, Spotted Bear Ranger Station there were only about 340,000 people in the whole state. That was about right. It w...

Oh, Yeah!! When I was 5, I had to brace the stock on the ground between my feet in order to cock the BB gun. It was later when I was probably 7 that I managed to pull the trigger with the lever open. Last time I did that. That is like getting your thumb in the open bolt on a Remington or Browning A-...

I got my first Daisy Red Ryder BB gun for my 5th birthday. Wore one out a year until I got to be 10 and started carrying a .22. I bought Gamo BigCat about a year and a half ago, but the trigger was a PITA. Finally, 6 weeks ago I put a Charliethetuna G3 trigger in it. OMG, it was like shooting my Med...

I have made many mistakes in my life, and done a few dumb things as well.. but the dumbest mistake I ever made was not staying in the army. I was a captain in the Med Ser Corps as a med. entomologist. I had served one tour in Thailand - now that was interesting - in 67-68, and then came back to the ...

Old Man, I would recommend you stick to Henry, Ramona and your 10/22. I think a flash in the pan might be to much for you. I know my limitations. I don't even use flints to start a fire. TB

The Old Man and I share a lot of commonalities.

I only envy his being close to his range.
That Colt is a really pretty revolver.
Old age and treachery will beat youth and vigor every time!

I am swapping a Simmons 3x 9 by 32mm to a 6.5x20 by 44 mm scope. I was hoping to use the same rings and just swap out the scope, but unfortunately that won't work. The new scope is longer and hits the rear sight when mounted for the proper eye relief. The receiver has the dovetail grooves, but I not...

Seems like I have seen a question similar to this somewhere else recently. I don't remember what I offered up at that time, or if I even did. Heck, it may have been this thread. I think a shotgun would be the best overall. I guess I would also stick with my Ithaca Mdl 37 20 ga. Carry more ammo for t...

I put 4 screws on top of a paint can, with the lid rim 1/8th inch high or so. 20 minutes later there were only 3 screws there. No where to be found was the 4th screw on my work bench, garage floor or anywhere else with flashlight, magnet, broom and moving everything carefully all brought into play. ...

I was messing last Saturday and my son and I looked at several at Bass Pro. I think the one I like best was the S&W M&P compact in .40 cal. It felt good, looked good, and just seemed very user friendly to me. Price was up with the rest of them. I thought I would like the XDm best, but the grips were...

I bought a Simmons from Dick's a few weeks back. I think it was 70-80 $$. There was another one at Dick's that I didn't like as well for about the same. The tripod is/was short (16-18 inches I think), but I had a camera tripod which I am using under it. The scope is 20x60 I believe. Eye relief is mi...

I have had good luck with Fed bulk. I doubt that I have even had 2 FTF per box. I just don't really remember any. I did have my first FTF from a box of Fed Automatch. Now that was a real surprise and why it amazed me. i have probably shot 10 boxes of Fed AM in the past year. Maybe that isn't very mu...

I have had some good targets with Fed bulk, Auto Match and the Win. subsonic. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm193/varmithunter/Range%20Time/CZTARGET3610.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm193/varmithunter/Range%20Time/MarApr2012025.jpg I might try some of that expensive ammo sometime....

I like to zero a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch high at 25 yards; and that puts me right on the money at 50 - 60 yards. From there on out to 150, it is just like Bullseye's graphic, right on at 6 inches of drop. At 150 plus the bottom really starts to drop out. With practice, and a mildot scope, or one with the ...

I am not sure if you are on foot, riding an ATV or a pickup. Or all three :shock: But, for the ATV or the pickup, a saddle scabbard might be adoptable to the ATV or for hanging on the back of the truck seat. If you are hoofing it, how about something like a Biathlon over the back harness, or just a ...
