I made a giant mistake, well two, actually. We in better times owned a house in Libby MT, and until five years ago I had a small funny crooked house in a great location in Bayview ID. It took me six minutes to get out my door and onto my boat, moored at the marina on a 28 mile long 1,150' deep...

The irony of the outfitter tags is Nevada Residents are excluded. They're only for wealthy out-of-staters. :fire:

Great suggestion regarding "Make an American hunter"! I'd take a garden variety blind magazine for a Hunter version.

I'm almost tempted, but if caught I would have my truck and gear confiscated to include my rifle. We had fewer that 200,000 people in NV when I was a kid starting out hunting. Deer tags were OTC for buck tags, and there were doe tags available, sometimes even a late season doe tag to thin the...

It does only if you can show depredation problems, which is uncommon.

Valmet 412...They're around for $800-$900 and are sturdy guns. These are quality shotguns that will give you a lot of service, made in Finland with excellent steel. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1048125020...

For five years now I have not drawn any big game tag in my native State of Nevada. As a 76 y/o native I've had it. I spent $180.00 for resident application fees again, and zip. I can no longer travel 1/2 way across the country to a more hunter friendly state, nor can I afford the out of state...

Mine have the balance point at the floor plate area and carry well...horizontal. Much of the terrain where I hunt is so rough and vertical that an easy horizontal balance point is advantageous. We mostly still-hunt and are constantly moving a little and watching a little, all day long, so using...

He obviously used a French Curve.

Some of my old hammer guns are easy to cock, and some need a come-along and anchor point. :p My American Gun Company has me using a lot of effort to cock just one hammer.:uhoh:

Full agreement on the first generation American Predator punching higher than it's weight class. I have one in 22-250 that is amazingly accurate and is a joy to carry. Ruger can sell their new morphadite to the new shooters, and the best of luck to Ruger, an American Gun Company I'll always...

IMO it's good and bad. Good: The hammers are close enough to cock both together. Bad: Cocking both hammers at the same time is hard to do with one thumb...double the difficulty to pull them back.

Loon, Look at any seasoned blue & walnut hunting rifle and the heaviest wear you see is in the floor plate bluing. With all the industry appealing to the tacti-cool shooters, they've sure screwed up what could be ergonomic rifles for hard carry. I'm all for servicing every segment of the...

They took a pretty nice rifle to carry and made it nearly impossible to carry under the magazine. The new magazine sticks out like a sore thumb, and the mag-release is even worse. They're not designed for where and how we hunt where I am. :eek:

Oh Man!! :oops: I have looked for a Remington for years that wasn't loose as a goose and all beat up. I wish I owned it, and you had a better one.
