vancelw - What "making the same mistakes" are we making over and over again. Don't think I understood what you were implying there. I wasn't implying anything. Any inference is yours. I was pretty straight that I think it's asinine to call out someone for using the internet to acquire kno...

Will you guys please come to agreement and consensus with the appropriate method of easily removing lead from the bore. Yeahhh, (pulling out what little hair I have left) :| See my other posts relating to opinions and advice about info from internet sites. Of course leverguns.com is the exception.:r...

Not really a bad analogy, Mescalero, we're just a bunch of troublemakers around here. That is, with the exception you and me of course.

I like Terry. He can be harsh at times and has run off more than one newbie on the forum with his terse remarks, but i find some of his posts humorous. He has a way with words and knows his stuff. I am not excusing his behavior, but I think he says what he says partially just to get a rise out of p...

My point in this post is, …my learning and doing over these last 5 decades was accomplished without seeking, and depending on advice garnered from any internet forum posting.

John, I see your points and they are well written and taken. However, at least in my experience, without exception every truly honorable man (or woman) that I have ever met was a very polite person. Especially with strangers. To me, you can't be the one without the other just being a part of your n...

What did they charge to convert the Win to the old style half cock and eliminate the tang safety/rebound hammer? I'm thinking of doing the same to mine. Bob I sent the second one back and purchased a NIB old stock Win/Miroku 1886 and it has performed flawlessly so far and shoots great. I sent that ...

Ok, I am going to wade into the mudpit here. It is Paco's sight, and Hobie and Paco are the ones who say what goes and what stays. I respect them and will respect this website. I have made friends from here and have learned a lot. I am not stuck on leverguns only, but they are sure a great type of ...

I'll bet Pitchy would loan his to Mescalero for a picture or two. Nawww, I'll take that back. Probably it's a bad idea for both of them. Sorry Pitch! Sorry Mescalero!

Here’s my two cents on the whining going on about Terry, and if he is, or he is not a rotten, hateful so-and so. I’ve been a “gun nut” for as long as I can remember, though grew up in a home with a dad who had two guns. A single shot 28” barrel, 20 ga. shotgun and a Marlin model 20 .22. His brother ...

I'm pretty happy with my current crop of calibers. None that need culling. However, the recent enthusiastic posts here regarding 6.5 mm goodness has made me consider re-barreling my left hand, glass bedded Remington 700 .243 Win. to 260 Rem. 260 Remington, huh! Let's see. Research, select and buy ba...

Peter, great trip and itinerary for your group. The Tulsa Gun Show looks like my best opportunity of catching up with you folks. Perhaps I can get my Aussie (Melbourne) son-in-law to drive up from Austin, TX to translate for us.

Looking forward to it. - John

That's dang funny, but makes me feel unkind at the same time.

Goat guy, Thats what I have a 6.5-06 for. You know, you are indeed right, friend. Never fooled with that caliber, but have since noted it's superior characteristics. Tell us more of your fondness for it. Wish I had known more about the more efficient wildcats then. But in that place and in that tim...

Great pictures. You look authentic. You need to send that pic of you to a movie agent. You would be a natural for old west period movies. Is that a wool capote you're wearing?

Mescalero - those lava flows in the Malpais maintain some nice deer. Also javelina, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, bobcats, mice, quail, seemingly every species of cactus known to man…most of it being cholla…and a considerable population of rattlesnakes! Also, take note, a very small population of hunters...

Mescalero - I use to make that trip, either going from or coming to Ruidoso, quite often. I can't remember how many time I'd do that trip each year. I well remember the Small Missile Range.

GoatGuy

Goodness gracious, Pitchy, that's something else for sure. Gotta love it.
Your dancin' doll calls to mind those "clog" dancers from the Smokey Mountain region.
A winner, that's a fact!

Fine post. Great story and really nice buck. I'd be tickled to see one like that on my place. Congratulations on your success.

knock about $200 and it's a deal! Couple of months back, I bought a new in box, 20" barrel, blue version for $477.00 + tax at one of our LGD's here. After cussing and complaining about the thing after I got it home, I'm now quite satisfied with the carbine. .38 Specials were no problem from th...

Appears to me the "hunter" is on private land, with permission of the owner/manager, culling a marginal buck. Not at all unusual on Texas ranches. Paying hunters generally want big, fine bucks and the ranchers are more than willing to oblige by taking out older bucks, or those possessing l...

Six, you are referring to your big belly blocking your view, right?

If so, I can almost relate to that. Have lost several pounds in the last year!
