Maybe the Charles Bronson western with the samurai was based on a true story?? I think it was called "Red Sun" or something like that.

How about a Savage or Marlin bolt action repeater?

Finn Aagard had a piece in Rifle years ago about some oddes & ends. One of them was to use something like ShoeGoo to make some "dots" on the inside surface of the sling for better traction.

I used to hear that Ohio was a leading state for sightings. There's a little feed store in SW Ohio that sells (or at least advertises!) "Bigfoot tracking supplies".

I've used a 6.5x20 Simmons 44 Mag on a Ruger 223 varmint rifle a lot. It was a surprising good scope for the money. I also have a 4-12 Burris compact that was on a Sako 221 Fireball that was good, but I don't think Burris makes that one anymore. A rifle builder in my area used to summer out west and...

A couple of years ago I won a 10/22 from a NWTF. A month or two ago I won a nice Sure-fire light in a drawing.

I'm kind of glad we don't have snakes like that around here. We just had a revolver just like that, a 36-1, minus the grip adapter, turned in this week by the family of an elderly man with Alzheimers. I tried to explain to them what it was worth but apparently the rest of his family were seroiusly a...

It's the first one I remember seeing and still one of my favorites.

They can ship him to Ohio. We can use a new face around here. The way people are moving out of this area you could drop him right down town and no one would notice for a week! Don't know where the heck everybody is going but half our county is up for sale or already been repossesed. jb I live in SW...

Couldn't have been Jim, I thought that preacher said the guns had to be unloaded?

Well, you could cut a slot in the side and let the barrel stick out!

I repaired one once for the local sheriff's office; it didn't look internally as robust as an 870.

I'm an armorer for a PD that fields around a dozen ARs, a mix of Colt, S&W, and Bushmaster. They get used hard without much cleaning during the week or so that we spend qualifying and they keep running. Granted, the environment we're in in no way compares to a jungle but they get pretty dirty. R...

And you are saying????

I've never had one "failure to fire" issue with a Remington primer.

Actually, I've had a few. Some with Rem/UMC 9mm ammo and some with .223 loads I primed w/Rem 7 1/2s.

The Xperts shot accurately in one of my 10/22s but they were very dirty. They also shoot to point of aim, and fairly accurately, out of my Bearcat.

There is, or used to be, an outfit called PWL; I think it was Price Western leather, that made such a thing. I don't know if they still exist and I'm kind of vague on the exact name.

No wild ones that I know of; the Cincinnati Zoo had some last time I was there.

I've driven out to Montana six times back when I had a free place to stay and shoot prairie dogs.

I've used a bit of Winchester Super X HP and the 34 grain Winchester Supreme on prairie dogs with my 9422M; those two loads are the most accurate out of it. Both are pretty effective on praire dogs. I've used some CCI loads but not as much as the Winchesters.

1969???? What took you so long?

How many pounds in a keg?

It's one of my favorites; I remember seeing it at the drive-in when I was very young.

Probably my 3 favorites are my Kimber Desert Warrior, my 5" 629 Classic, and a stainless Ruger 22/45 w/4" bull barrel.

I'd go with the M&P in 45 given the choices. I've been issued an M&P40 for 2 1/2 years now; I bought the compact 40 last year to use for back-up. I recently picked up an M&P9mm for my daughter and I'll probably get another for myself eventually. (Just not a big fan of the 40 cartridge)

My Dad has my Grandpa's White Hunter, I keep hoping to find it under the Christmas tree one day.

A friend was given one once, along with a Match Target Woodsman, a Browning 20 ga semi-auto, and a 1911 Winchester shotgun, after helping his fiance's grandparents move.
We shot the .22s quite a bit, the 63 is a good handling rifle.

I used to use it for 125s in the 357 and never had any trouble. I loaded about 1 grain under the max load (from Sierra or Lyman-it's been awhile). I've gotten away from it as I'm moving toward using only Unique and 2400 for my handgun loading anyway.

If you are going to keep it as is out of the box, I'd go with the LTR, as you say it has a better stock, etc. I've got an LTR in 308 that I'm very happy with. I have a 20" heavy barrelled Savage in .223 that's pretty good too. It was marketed as the "4x4" or "truck gun". If ...

I have one by H&B Forge I had to have after Mel Gibson's The Patriot came out. I like it but I think it would be more practical with a striking surface on the back.

That's the name of the place I was thinking of.

Go to the Darke Co. Historical Society Museum; they've got a pretty nice collection about her, plus the rest of the Museum is pretty good too.

I've only been there once, and it's been a few years so I can't give you directions.

I sent a Buck back to the factory that I had got new back in the mid 90s. A couple of years ago I let someone use it and it was damaged (doing something it wasn't designed for). I found it again this winter and sent it back in January. Yesterday a new knife showed up as the old one wasn't repairable...

Several years ago in SWAT magazine there was an article about Tacoma's selection process. You might be able to obtain it from them. Personally, I'd like to be able to carry the pistol of my choice, and I'd choose a 1911 if allowed. However, I think ScottT makes a very good point. I'm an instructor o...

I was at a gunshow earlier this month and saw a couple at $750.
