Looks like you need to borrow a pair of bedroom slippers from YK!

And the Henry was a good choice. Love mine.

If the CZ 511 is anything like the bolt action CZ 452 that I have (the most accurate .22 LR I have - dime sized groups at 50 yds.), it would be my first choice for a semiauto .22 LR. Wood and blued steel. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh197/66GTO_01/CZ_511_zps7d8f6195.jpg https://www.youtube.co...

10-22 would fit that job, and if you really wanted a blast from the past find a Remington nylon 66 or a speedmaster, and the old marlin model 60 (?) While I like the Nylon 66, it not a good candidate for a scope. It has a stamped steel reciever cover that the scope mounts to and it is held in place...

I have one the first Taurus built Rossi 92's that feeds everything I've put in it so far, including Keith style SWC, both .357 and .38 Spcl. It is bone stock, although I bought a new ejector spring from Steve Young that I have yet to install. I had an older Rossi 92 in .44 Magnum that didn't like to...

It has been a few years since I bought my Skinner sight and I recall it took a couple of weeks to arrive. I do recall the experience being a pleasant one and being treated first rate. I didn't like the size screw in peep that came with it and he sent me a different one. He also recommended the corre...

Amazing! And very touching. I have always heard that the French of Normandy continue to show their thanks to America and our soldiers for liberating them from the Nazis. This confirms it. That this poor woman suffered all of these years as the result of the incompetence of our government officials i...

Welcome to the forum! You've come to the right place if you are fascinated with lever guns. I also have a Rossi 92 in .357 that was one of the first made after Taurus bought out Rossi, and it is also one of my favorites. Unlike you, I have had zero problems with mine. No feeding problems, no matter ...

Dwight is my favorite country singer. He has been recording great music for almost 30 years. When he first got started Nashville was in the Urban Cowboy phase and wouldn't give him a look so he went west to California. Nashville has now completely sold out and is recording country music in name only...

I'm going to send this pic to my BIL who lives in Atmore. He'll have to talk about it. That is pretty cool. I've got to admit, I've never heard any of the in-laws talk about hogs down there. Darn if that wouldn't be some fun. Hobie, it was shot on Pine Barren Creek. This article will give you a bet...

How much of that meat would be any good? Slow cook him for 24 hours and add about 200 gallons of hot BBQ sauce and it might be OK. My grandpa raised hogs but he always cut his boars long before they were butchered. This old hog had all of "equipment" still in place. I imagine he would tas...

The story said they had been seeing sign of this hog for years and had hunted him without success. He apparently showed himself to this deer ...

I don't reload .380 but I think I have a small pile of brass I have saved. Ain't much, probably 110-115 pieces. These are all once fired by me when I had my Keltec 380. You are welcome to them. PM me with an address and I'll ship them to you.

My local WalMart has been out of .22 LR for at least a month. A week ago they had a few boxes of shorts and rat shot, that was it. Now those are gone. Today they had some .30-06 (several flavors), .270 (same), and a few boxes of .45 Colt. I had never seen the .45 Colt before, so that is kind of stra...

Most women I've shot with were either very good, or very good learners. One outshot me with my own Colt Combat Commander, it was the first time she'd ever shot a gun.

What can you tell me about them? Anyone have one? (That is a given on this forum, of course someone has one!

There is one for sale locally. Anything in particular I should look for on this model?

Very nice! What was yourM.V.? Joe, I'm not sure, but I would guess between 1700-1800 fps. This round is rated at around 1300 fps in a revolver, so I figure the 20" barrel in the Marlin is worth another 400 fps. I shot a 175-180 lb boar with this same rifle and round. The boar was a head shot a...

A few weeks ago there was a thread asking about how the Hornady XTP performed. I have a little information to add to the discussion. Yesterday I shot a doe with my Marlin 1894 using a factory 240 grain .44 Mag round. The shot was from around 20 yds., head on, with the hit in the breast below the nec...

Streetstar, My experience with Kershaw knives is almost the same as yours. I bought a knife similar to your Blur, but with a drop point serrated blade, a Ken Onion model.

175 lb boar. Head on shot just above the right eye. Short range (15 yds) at night using Gen1 night scope. Dropped in his tracks and twitched a couple of times. Used 240 grain .44 Magnum out of an 1894 Marlin. Probably didn't matter what bullet I used at that range and placement, but the XTP worked f...

Rube Goldberg would be proud!

Your old truck will be fine. If you have anything that needs juice, just hook a 9 volt battery to a cigarette lighter plug in and shove that in the hole. It will hold your pre-sets on the radio and computer. Everyone has a couple of old chargers that plug in like that. Just pick out one that you no...

My area of Florida has played a small role in preserving the USS Constitution. The source for live oak timbers used in the ship during its last restoration came from the Pensacola area. The U.S. Navy established a reserve of live oak trees in the early 1800's for use in ship building and repair. The...

After watching the security camera footage, there is no way this old feller will be charged with anything in the state of Florida.

Remember one thing above all if you ever talk to a officer. He is legaly allowed to lie to you. Everything you say can and will be used against you. The only thing he should say is, "Officer I feared for my life. I want to speak with my attorney." Nothing else. And it is too bad he wasn't...

Interesting air rifle he used. I did a little digging on the net and found it is Russian made, .22 cal., and costs $1,500, if you can find one. Precharged and can get 35 shots on a charge. Supposed to be very accurate and from the shot placement in the video, it is.

Good luck with your search. That rifle is a new one to me. A bit of advice on the photography. The reason the rifle appears so dark is because of the bright light behind it. The light meter in the camera is reading the light behind the rifle and setting the exposure based on that. Turn that light of...

My Browning Buckmark is not a "target" pistol in the Olympic competition sense of the word, but for plinking, hunting, and casual range use, I love it. Mine is a Camper with the bull barrel and Firesight front sight. It loves the Winchester 333/555 bulk ammo. It will run all day long on it...

I killed a boar last year with a head on shot under the right eye. Used a Marlin 1894 in .44 Rem. Mag, 240 gr. XTP. Dropped where he stood and twitched a couple of times. No exit wound and I didn't butcher him so I don't know the penetration, but, as Jerry Clower would say, it killed him graveyard d...

They are common here in NW Fla also. They are quite the bird. If you notice in the last segment you'll see that when flying with a fish they always hold it with the head into the wind even though they have to twist their feet around. More aerodynamic that way. Around here they feed mostly on mullet....
