But the offer on the rifle stands.
Carly & Lindsay would be mad at me if Dad came home with parts chewed off.

Thanks Brother...

Nope, sold my Redhawk when I moved back to the Lower 48. Wish I hadn't now, but I can always PU another...heck, I might even buy my Son-in-Law one. My Daughter and her husband were at the rifle range with my 1895GS 45-70 /457WW Mag and the Range Master told my Daughter, "to let him know if she ...

Jarhead, when you go up, just let me know; you can take my 1895 XTR, then both you guys can have one Thanks Mescalero...I'll keep that in mind Brother. I was going to take my 1937 Model 71 "Short Rifle," but Alaska is very hard on blued weapons. Stainless is the only way to go...up in Ala...

Jarhead, I'm not arguing that your defense shooting wasn't good, it obviously worked out great for you. I am saying that there are others who got mauled by a bear after getting non-cns shots into it. And I am saying that the cns shot is more of a sure thing than any other shot, it's the most predic...

Jarhead

I reckon being up agains't a Grizzly, which I have personally experienced, is like Politics :lol: Everybody has got thier own perspective. A Professional Grizzly hunter and friend advised me to always shoot and break those shoulders, but believe me :shock: You will only have time to react and your f...

Jarhead

Congrats..very nice Hog

Congrats..very nice Hog

Jarhead

I totally disagree that a shoulder shot is good enough on a comitted charging bear. Only a CNS shot will keep you safe. A bear's heart beats so slow that you can blow it up and he still has time to eviscerate you and cut your throat. There are probably hundreds of people maimed and/or killed by a f...

Mike, Nice Black Bear.... :) ...Mighty fine. I shot a Black Bear in Alaska back in 2003..I have the darn things on my farm in Eastern Oregon...I had a sow and cub by my gate the other day. I would like to take a couple more black bears and make a bed spread 8) I took my Grizzly almost 20 years ago.....

My "flask" is always water! Never drink any alcohol until the guns are put away for the day! +1...However, after the end of a good day of hunting(after the weapons are put away) A little quality "Sour Mash" ...Basil Hayden or Knobb Creek...in moderation :) is a mighty fine way t...

Jarhead, How are the girls? http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/mchmannell/lindsayandcarlyalaska.jpg The girls are doing very well...thanks for asking Mescalero. Lindsay is doing very well in College and Carly is happy, well educated, and enjoying Alaska with her husband. Lucky as heck I recko...

Jarhead

How do you take out the shoulder when a bear is running toward you. Seems to me if he has his head down ears back Etc.. on a dead run. A head shot would be the right thing. (Of course I have never shot a bear) but as a hunter knowing that I only have a few seconds to react that bears head should be...

Jarhead

If a grizzly is bent on killing you, he will kill you. It doesn't matter what you shoot him with. You just better pray that there's at least a little lack of interest on the bear's part. They've been known to rip apart small trees out of anger and confusion after being shot multiple times in the bo...

I have a bunch of pictures taken during construction, but they are photos, not digital. I don't have a scanner. If I can find them and get them scanned, I'll dredge this topic up again. I think I know where the log winch pictures are tho,...... First cabin I built, I just looked at a couple picture...

I like the .410 and owned an older Rem 1100....a sweet shotgun. I used it for bird hunting...great for rabbits, etc. I think a double would be nice to have in a .410 too...I had a 28ga in a double Huglu, and it was sweet. Now, all I have is a 20ga and 12 ga...

Jarhead, Don't go trying to muscle big timber by yourself, I have done it; but we were both a lot younger then. I hear ya Mescalero :) ...I bought a tractor to skid my logs, and I'll play it smart and safe. Heck, as we both know, falling trees is very dangerous. I've been thinning my timber stand s...

Looks like you're having some fun for sure

No Elk steaks?

I too have the dream...I plan on building a 20x30 log cabin with a loft from scratch...butt and pass method. I own 30 acres adjacent to a wilderness area with timber(pondarosa pine)...Just waiting for my 19 year old to finish college. I will build a smaller log structure first 12x16 for outhouse(com...

Jarhead

Neat Picture...could not help but notice some firearms safety issues. My Dad would have kicked my tail good for holding my rifle

like that, especially the kid in the middle of the photo...of course, everyone in that picture has passed on. Neat old rifles for sure....

Sixgun,

I fly to Alaska frequently with my weapons, but I always put my rounds in a factory box...no hassle. Home reloads, but how do they know. I know...it's a hassle.

Jarhead

nice range report. I like the way you think and practice. All too often, I see people "bench resting" their deer rifle and once they get their ole '06 "Zeroed in" they pack up and leave. I often wonder if they take their shooting bench to the field with them, and if they ask the...

Thought I'd ask you Gentlemen and Ladies which is the better firearm? I do not have a clue, for I have never owned, shot, or held one (other than my 1892(Japan Winchester) :oops: :) . Who makes the highest quality reproduction lever rifle? I have a Trapper(Japchester)45LC that is very nice. With exc...

I think Palin did a great job...She had him in tears...

What an act! I think the pressure was on Biden...When he was tearing up, Palin was composed and smiling...she new she had him rattled

She kept it low key, yet intimidating. Loved it!

Regardless, we should not be bailing out Corrupt Corporations...They(Corporate America) would throw you under the bus in a pair of seconds. Discusting stuff indeed....Corporate America really sucks...but so do politicians.

Much better than that Navy chow...I'm sure

Nice looking Trapper....

Nothing better than a clean rifle...

Perhaps the smell of gun powder

I keep my weapons clean, especially after a day in the field. For a lot of different reasons...

Jarhead

Sounds like a fun cartridge

Might have to aquire one...I don't need another rifle

The originals are sure getting spendy...

Jarhead

I always start at 25yrds if sighting in a rifle for the first time. I use a good steady bench and some sand bags. I keep the sight picture the same for each shot and shoot only three rounds. That tells me where the rifle is shooting. Relax, breathe, several times as needed, hold your breathe upon ex...

Jarhead

Sweet...nice rifles!

Jarhead

Mike, I think you're headed in the right direction...we never really ever own anything? We are care takers so to speak while we are here. I have my collection down from years past. I use to have a .458, 375H&H, and a .338, etc. I replaced those three with a Marlin 1895GS 45-70-457WW Mag for my h...

Very interesting...thanks for sharing.

Nice looking combo you've got there...Beautiful weapons. Would love to get a Colt 45LC to go with my 1892 Winchester Trapper and a nice holster to go with it. On the want list for now...been putting money into my British Motorcycles all summer...might sell a couple of them someday. Buy me a nice Col...

Nice country...Love Montana...looks a lot like Eastern Oregon. Love Elk steaks too

Mighty fine eaten!

Good luck...and happy trails.

Nice...very nice

Jarhead

Very Nice! Indeed! I like it. The cartridge is a winner, though I will say that its really just 100 fps more than a .356 Winchester, which can be made from a 35 Rem 336RC for $150 more than the cost of the rifle by Regan Nonneman. I did that and really like the rifle. But its not as nice at yours p...

Very nice looking rifle...sounds like fun to me

I paid 2K for my 1895GS 45-70-457WW (Alaska Guide Model) It's only money...have fun and enjoy

Got a few thousand tied up in Model 71s too...it's all fun.

Love that sling! Where did you get it?
