Your in my prayers brother.

I was at the local gun store purchasing a light and mount for my AR15 that I carry on duty and took a glance at some of the scopes that were available. I have always preferred Leupold but also know that the Trjicon is used by our US Military in one form or another. My dad looked at some of the Triji...

Thanks for the pics.

Thought some of you might be glad to read this. Hope it is true. Since its coming from SCI I would imagine that the information is correct.

Your in my thoughts and prayers brother. If you need anything give a shout. I and I'm sure many others on here will help in any way possible.

I carry a get home bag in the truck. No firearms in the truck unless I'm going hunting but I do carry spare mags and ammo for my handgun that I always have on me (Glock 23 40 S&W). If I were to carry a long gun I would probably pick a iron sighted 22 magnum bolt action with a good scope attached...

In reference to the pocket on the side, it works well for holding the hot hands. Helps keep your face and ears warm.

Mr. Kelly is a good man I have no doubt. It will be made right.

Nice view from the stand. What area do you hunt?

Welcome to the fire. Pour yourself a cup and set a spell. There is much to learn from those here.

RustyJr.

RustyJr

Sounds good to me. I think you need to throw in some type of scattergun though

RustyJr

RustyJr

Definitely looks like fun.

Looks like you are good to go Ji. I like the wood grain on your 357. What is the barrel length on that? Looks like it was cut back some.

Like seeing a working gun with some character. If that gun could talk the stories it could tell. You happen to have any pictures of game that it has taken over the years?

Good shooting Nath. Always enjoy your posts. Does that 94 have a 20" or 24" barrel and what bullet and load were you shooting?

RustyJr

RustyJr

No problems here brother. Have a Merry Christmas.

Welcome to the fire. Pour yourself a cup and have a sit

Welcome to the forum. As others have already said the 357 will do fine for deer. I may be mistaken but I believe that Veral Smith's wife has used her 357 Magnum rifle on elk with success.

Keep me in prayers if you would. Some of you may remember that I was sworn in and made a member of a local law enforcement agency in January of this year. Well Wednesday of this week I will go into court for the first time (other than a deposition and traffic court) so I am a bit nervous. If you all...

Beautiful Country . . . Wouldn't mind visiting it some day.

I know that it is still deer season, but how many here hunt predators during the off season and how many use their deer rifles (albeit with a different load) in order to "have fun" and stay proficient with them? Also who has a "special" varmint rifle and what load and rifle combi...

RustyJr

I try to keep at least part of a roll of TP in my orange vest not to mention in the pack in my truck. Has multiple uses too . . . last time I used it was when I tracked my last deer, used it to mark my blood trail that I was following

RustyJr

Great story Kirk and the photos are a plus. Any way that you could post any photos of the rifle in its current state?

RustyJr

RustyJr

While I like the looks of a 73, I would go for the 92 simply because of the strength factor. The lighter weight of the 92 over the 73 is just a bonus.

RustyJr

Congratulations and that was a great read

Nice to see an old rifle getting used again.

Congrats Wolfdog. Where in SW Georgia do you hunt? The lease that I hunt on is just outside Georgetown in Quitman county.

I've taken two deer this year (first and second ever) with a 130 grn. Nosler Partitions in a 270 Winchester. First was shot at about 20 yards, slightly quartering away, entered the right side and angled forward and exited just behind the left front shoulder. The second at about 100 yards was quarter...

RustyJr

Well . . . thanks to the good Lord I managed to shoot another deer this year. Used my Hawkeye in 270 Winchester again. Thought it was a doe and ended up being a cowhorn spike. I am wanting to take the antlers and make a gun rack with them. Already figured out how I want to do it (antlers attached to...

Yeah when you said bushy tail I had this mental picture of a rabbit without much left to call a rabbit lol

I currently have a Redfield 3-9 on my Ruger Hawkeye in 270 Winchester but have started thinking of going to a fixed 4X Leupold. I figure that any time I use the 3-9 I have it set on 3 power any way plus I think the simplicity of a fixed power would be nice. I know that scopes now days are more robus...

RustyJr

I'll will/have been using my Ruger 77 Hawkeye in 270 Winchester. Picture of it is one my other thread with my first deer.

RustyJr

RustyJr

It is Southwest Georgia. Little town call Georgetown. Just east of Eufala, Alabama. I'll definitely consider the journal. Hadn't thought about it but it could be fun.

Here are a few more pictures from the deer stand. These were taken the day after I got my buck. Had three gobblers come out and then about 8 hens and a jake (one of the other guys on the lease got a better look at them) that came within about 75 yards (not close enough for good pics) the same day I ...

RustyJr

Well, after several years with no success I finally got my first deer. I had planned to use my grandfather's 270 (Remington 721) but could not get it to zero in even after changing scopes. So I ended up using my Ruger Hawkeye in 270 Winchester. He came out just before full dark and might have had 10...

RustyJr

Check your extractor as well. Too much carbon build up on the extractor can cause problems. Not saying Glocks are perfect but I trust my life to one every day (23-Compact version of yours). Also, there is a reason for training yourself to clear jams. It happens . . . and not just on the range. It is...

RustyJr

Now all you need is a 1911 in a Tanker holster and you will be good to go

When loading a tube fed gun from the front like(mostly 22 rimfires) that I also like to keep it at a slight angle instead of completely vertical. Glad his injuries weren't more serious (like losing an eye).

RustyJr

I'm no expert on Marlins, however I am not seeing a rear sight or any notch where one might have been which makes me agree with some of you other fellas as to it possibly being a 410.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes. Had to work on my birthday but came home safe at the end of the shift . . . Can't ask for anything more than that

I am interested in picking up a Red Dot Sight. I have been looking at the Meprolight M21 or an Aimpoint. I like the Mepro due to not needing batteries but I have heard of the issue of what they call wash out (standing in a dim lit area and shooting into a lighted area the dot is harder to see). I pl...

RustyJr

I'll keep you in my prayers Joe but like the others, I hope you reconsider the PT. I had ACL/MCL surgery about 7-8 years ago. I thought I was good to go but still went to the physical therapy. They got me farther than I would have on my own and I think the recovery time was shorter due to their work...

RustyJr

I want to try and use my Stevens 235 SXS 12Ga. (ext. hammers). I have some 12Ga. brass shells that I think Ill load up and use with it.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I would say Glock just for the simplicity not to mention reliability. The 23 (compact) is the perfect balance in my experience. Good size to remain controllable yet still compact enough to carry concealed. I tried the 27 (sub-compact) but found the grip to be too small. Found myself having to re-gri...

RustyJr

Am definitely interested and definitely would like to see pics of the process as well as the finished products.

I know that we have already had our favorite lines from a movie thread but I think that I may have just found the all time funniest. While watching Realtree's Monster Bucks XX Vol.1 DVD with my dad I was able to watch one with Jeff Foxworthy on a Muzzleloader hunt for deer. It starts off with him si...

I was wondering what everyone is using for their deer rifle/rifles this year. I posted a picture of my grandfather's deer rifle in another post. I figure I will use that and my Ruger 77 Hawkeye also in 270 Winchester. I reckon we'll through in the Elk rifles in for you fellas that live out west. Wha...

I know they said they are giving away pump shotguns, but I wonder what kind (brand/model).

At the age of 15 my mom bought my grandfather's deer rifle (Remington 721 270 Winchester) from my uncle so that I could have it. She gave him $500.00 for the rifle which was more than it was worth monetarily but to me it was then and will always remain priceless. At the time that I got it from my un...

Sounds good. What gun, caliber and load are you going to use?
