Mine allows the door to open more than 90 degrees to the safe which allows easier access into/out of the safe. Plus 1 on the size get the bigger one if youcan. Also I cover all my shotguns/rifles using rifle-socks as they can get nicked just placeing other rifles in and out. With a small tag at the ...

I saw mine being installed/moved using golf balls, 100 or so spread onto the hall way and one guy in front keeping them close to the safe one guy in the back pushing.

A cabela's special Ruger #1 in 30-40 Krag
A Browning citori in 16
An older Remington pump 121
and that is all that is on my wish list right now.

dkmlever

First off and most important, prayers and best wishes are with you. I am also sorry for the loss of your sister.

It sounds like you have come up with a resonable solution to shooting. Have you tried shooting left handed?

dkmlever

That had to have hurt!

dkmlever

A couple of you mention the "warning signs" and not to ignore them, maybe you could list some of these warning signs as a big help to others.
Glad you made it!

dkmlever

WOW, that is a wonderful Christmas present!

dkmlever

75 lost! Great job! Congrats.

dkmlever

Yup, very nice!

dkmlever

Very nice weekend project, results look great!

dkmlever

Just one. 308 BLR (so it is On topic!) Don't remember the load/bullet, I hit a mule deer buck at about 90 yards and it literally rolled forward and rested on his head in a bush but with all his feet still on the ground. Like it was expiring. I saw no reason to shoot it again, and the vitals were now...

dkmlever

Glad to see the book is making the rounds and all are enjoying it.

dkmlever

Yup, you see those jackalopes all over WY, but not usually that nice!

dkmlever

You got to love those levers! Nice deer! What state?

All of my traditional levers (4) have iron factory open sites. One the oldest a Marlin 93 in 32 Win Spec was carried this year during elk season here in CO. The others are a Win 88 in 308, Win 94 in 30-30 and a Savage 99 in 300 Sav. My psuedo (sp?) levers, a Ruger #1 and a Ruger #3 both have scopes.

dkmlever

You did not say what area of the property this is. Is it close to your house? Along a drive? I put up a No Tresspassing sign along my drive then 20 yards further in I put up a Private Property sign, seems like the two one following the other helped. Most people around here put up a chian with flaggi...

dkmlever

Nice work Hobie!

dkmlever

Very nice, big congrats to you!

dkmlever

Congrats, nice looking doe. I really like the spectator seats to watch the skinning process!

dkmlever

I can not believe this report, sad sad sad.

dkmlever

I also use a scabbard attached or part of the pack I am carrying, leaves your hands free and is quickly available when needed. No studs or slings to get caught on anything. I never could keep the sling onmy shoulder anyway, it keeps sliding off. I think it is great you are using your fathers gun thi...

dkmlever

Ouch, that had to hurt.

dkmlever

I wish for one of the new Cabela limited edition, Ruger #1 in 30-40 Krag.....it has a lever so it counts!

dkmlever

could your daughter pick up a gallon of milk for me while she is running errands?.....

dkmlever

Tycer, Could you call Leupold or another manufacturer and ask customer service what it means if someone says the scope has this issue? They might shed some light on the problem.

dkmlever

fordwannabe: "I can help you out even better Huntermb, just send me that old outdated 1886 and then you can just load one level of ammo and use it in a nice new gun instead of that old worn out thing. Hey I'm just trying to make your life simpler! Tom" Now that is a GOOD friend helping you...

dkmlever

Very nice! I would be afraid of using that one in the oak brush!

dkmlever

Good question, thanks for asking! I am also stumped some times on the abbreviations.

dkmlever

My buddy got one in a Browning A-bolt. Asked me to sight it in for him.....1st shot cracked my brow, blood coming down my face. :oops: Turns out the guy who mounted the scope set it back to far, and as 86er says the Brownings have short stocks on them they really do not fit me well. This Saturday he...

dkmlever

Well HECK YES, I do. Ithaca model 37 12 gauge bought for 90 bucks when I was 16 (my brother was 18 and legal to buy a gun in the grand ole state of MA!) Year was 1969. I sold and traded boat loads of other guns but this one will stay till the end. I wish I could have a picture of all the game in one...

dkmlever

Good suggestions, thanks. I have been hunting the weekdays, but yesterday decided to go for a walk, 7 miles later one was in the back of the car after a long 400 yard shot.
Felt good even with carrying her out 1.25 miles. Today is the last day of the season so concentrating on my next hunt now.

dkmlever

Nice pistol!

dkmlever

I have a doe antelope tag for area 44, just over the boarder from CO, the ranch I have been on (a HMA) is sweeped clean of animals, any other ranches anybody knows of?
I hate seeing my tag go unfilled.

dkmlever

DARN, I ALWAYS LIKE SEEING HIS RESPONSES.
All kidding aside, he is very knowledable.

dkmlever

I will actually go see that one at the theater instead of getting it on netflix, looks good.

dkmlever

Nice looking workshop and nice and clean!

dkmlever

I have done the same, taken out of town guests there and it is a much better museum than most folks would think. I always enjoy my visits there. You can se the actual grave site without doing the museum.

dkmlever

Welcome from Golden, CO

dkmlever

Glad to hear your son is home, enjoy the time together.

dkmlever

Need pictures!

dkmlever

One VERY important step! Check with the DOW regualtions and see if you need to leave evidence of sex NATURALLY attached to the quarter. We are here in CO and it is easy when you start your field dressing or skinning to forget and cut the teats of scrotum off. I always figure one elk is three to four...

dkmlever

1200 fish a fly in plane trip, great time.....AND NO PHOTOS???????????? WHAT is up with that?

dkmlever

Looks like a B&C trophy!

dkmlever

Well, what do you know, miricles do happen! UPS inspected the boxes used to pack the 1886 and declared it was packed "without deficincey", and they ARE GOING TO PAY THE INSURANCE CLAIM. How long that takes or what all is involved, I don't know but they assigned me a claim number and said t...

I will be in Casper, WY this Tuesday eve and all Day Wednesday and heading home Thursday morning, while my wife teaches a seminar. Looking for places to kill some time while I am there. Good gun shops, museums etc, any ideas would be appricated.

dkmlever

No contact from UPS on Friday or Saturday as promised. I will followup up with them on Monday first thing but I have no hope (after your answers) of having them pay.

dkmlever

With lever guns, I have killed elk with a 32 Win Spec, 30-30, 300 Savage, 308, 45-70 but my vote would be for a 348 Win in a model 71 or the 300 Savage. The only two moose I have killed were with a 338 win mag. Your 308 can get the job done but why not go big! 348!

dkmlever

Thanks all for your feedback. I "thought" I had packed it fairly well, but I shodl have tested it by dragging it around with my tractor for an hour or so.

UPS is supposed to inspect today, I will let all know what happens.

dkmlever

I sold the 1886 EL on this forum and shipped it last week UPS. Yesterday it arrived, today it was unpacked and with NO damage to the outside cardboard box, or the inside oringinal factory box, the rear stock at the wrist is cracked! I did insure it, and filled a claim ASAP verbally to actually a ver...

dkmlever

Congrats, nice hunt and thanks for sharing the story.
