I have only 1 gun that was passed down, from my wifes Grandfather. A model 70 in 300 H&H. An absolutely beautiful rifle that still shoots very nicely.

Pitchy, without reading all the replies, if'n it were me, I be packin' and shootin' it every single day. Every single day!

Do You Think BigFoot Is Real? Nope. And I live in the back woods right next to Mt St Helens where supposed bigfoot 'activity' is high. Spent my entire life in the woods around here, and from I-5 to the Cascade Crest. Weeks and sometimes months at a time. Many of my friends are back woods hunters to...

They come down into the NE part of Washington State according to our Fish and Game dept. They are protected, no shootin' allowed.

Loo I'll have to take a backup gun as well . I suspect a Ruger #1B in 264 WIN MAG will tag along . Never used a 140 grain bullet in the 264 WIN MAG . But I'm thinking a 140 Partiton might be good in this application if I should need the 264 . Ah c'mon. With all those 444's I think you NEED a 444 as...

Winchester model 1886 in .45-90 made in 1891.

Out of probably a few thousand guns, only a standard old '94 in 30-30 back in 1978. There was no reason to sell it and it was superbly accurate which at the time I was to young to understand what I really had.

You bet'cha I will!

An empty belly and a nice fat bull elk and I'll just have to work hard at not jerking the trigger!

Malamute, this is hard to read about and believe me when I feel your pain. Acutely. November 21st I lost my German Shorthair Pointer. It was more horrible than I had worried about since bringing him home 15 years and 6 weeks before. This is the first I've even been able to mention it, even my wife w...

Not much has changed for me. Since I last posted in this thread I bought a Mini 30 and found out while I like shooting it, it just doesn't function correctly enough for me to even start to like it. For some reason it will fire 10 rounds without a hickup and then the next 20 have to be ran through ma...

I don't do much "formal" hunting anymore (ie-out-of-state trips, deer camp, buying dooddads like in that other post, etc., etc.) so it seems reasonable to simplify my rifle needs. I can't think of a scenario where I'd hunt off my own premises, and the longest shot I can imagine in these w...

Hunting with stock is the way to go unless you like to walk. danny Man, I can't agree more! Though I grew up on horseback (literally according to my Mothers version) as I got older, married and jobs that took me away from home, the more I started hiking. I just didn't have the time nor money for ho...

It has been so long since I loaded jacketed bullets for a single action revolver, I can't really remember when it was.. Probably 15 years ago, at least, and that was for a special project.. Same here. Except it may have been over 30 years since I used anything but cast. I have several thousand jack...

I have a little neighbor gal that I reload 140 accubonds in her 7mm08 a little below maximum. She's taken an elk the past 4 year with it.

I'm sure your .308 will do fine.

Umm...about that ammo... I still have 2 UNOPENED CASES (20 boxes total) of Winchester 200 gr. Silvertips I bought the year before last. So, unfired rifle, unopened ammo, I'm a poor excuse for a levergunner! Isnt' there some sort of law to cover instances like this? :twisted: :lol: Don't wanna have ...

My 1936 version really likes a 250gr Barnes and 58grs of AA3100. Not real fast, about 2150fps if I remember right, but accuracy is fantastic. I've never had an elk withstand it.

First, a belated congradulations on the 40 reps! That is fantastic work, something not accomplished by many. I for one absolutely LOVE someone who will set a goal and keep their nose to the grindstone until they reach it! Of course, I am about the most goal oriented person you would ever meet.... :D...

Around here I would say the .300 win mag followed closely by the 30-06. Most deer hunters here also elk hunt so the use the .300 mostly, at least the ones who are hunters first and shooters second, the ones who own only one rifle. I am looked at like a bit of a freak when I am seen with a .38-55 or ...

As of today I've went through a bit over 13,000 large pistol primers, a hair under 1000 large rifle primers, but very few shotgun or small pistol primers this year. And probably not over 1000 22LR shells.

It was a slow year

2x22

2X22

BEAUTIFUL, but I would expect no less! I have a Miruko/Winchester '86 high grade that is absolutely spectacular also.

If they make one of those in .44 mag, I just may have to bust out the checkbook and get me one.....

2x22

2X22

I have both! Also 41's and 45's. So far this year I've put a little over 13,000 rounds through my .44's. None through the 41's or 357's and less than 50 through one of the .45's. Plus on Monday I filled my buck tag with a 44 Marlin Cowboy and a cast bullet. Did I mention I love .44's? :mrgreen: 2x22

I just thought of something that absolutely everyone on this board can easily and cheaply do, assuming that we haven't lost their interest. Something I poo pooed for years until I did them. Go to your WalMart, Big Five or whatever and buy one of those little 'Ab Rollers'. They run about $10 or so. A...

I would not be able to perform the Olympic lifts correctly with beneficial poundages if it weren't for a solid background with all the lifts you mentioned. I didn't mention olympic lifts simply because they are difficult to learn on your own and are best learned with an attentive coach present. I'v...

Crossfit won't make you strong? Depends on your definition of strength and your own personal goals. Exactly! I would venture an educated guess that the vast majority of men and women who train in the US are more interested in functional strength than in specialized singular purpose strength and big...

Crossfit work is fine. Tabata work is fine too as are Kettlebells. Most any cardiovascular work is great. But it won't make you STRONG. One thing I'll say about the average lifter, and I've trained thousands in the last 20+ years, the average everyday person is weak. Even college lifters that I've t...

Thanks, Madman! Not sure if I could get the 40 reps, that is a lot of reps that I would have to prepare for. But at least I reckon I could come close. It is great to see the young bucks watch me and my partner lift. When we come in we are dismissed without a second glance. Until the plates start sta...

I've kilt quite a few elk with the 45-70 and I've kilt quite a few with the .444 Marlin which I just walked in the door with after chasin' deer all morning! To me its a push. Either gets the job done, the 444 with a bit less recoil and a little extra range probably. But I love the hammering ability ...

I guess I must come clean. There was a time about 20 years ago I told my wife I thought I had all the guns I wanted.

The next thing I know within 12 months I bought probably 20+ more!

Nope, she never said a word......
