I have an eye out for a good fiest. Sounds like a great time and hunt.

I've been waiting for 500 Linebaugh brass since August, I called up Star line recently asking if I coordinated a group buy would that get them to start filling orders for Linebaugh brass. Sherry told me I would need to generate about 100.000 round order to get their attention.

For long guns, you could pawn them and pick them up when you need them. 25 dollar pawn would cost you about 5 bucks a month for storage.

When I was a kid hunting along the gulf coast in Texas, my bird dog went on point, as I got closer I could hear the rattle, my dog was pointing a big fat diamondback in a caliche bank. The snake, coiled and ready with tail buzzing and the dog, in a classic point, were in a trance like state...

another fan of the 16. here is mine an early Wingmaster with skeet choke. On the place in the photo, I have to use steel shot, #2 shot seems to be the right load.

The state of Montana has a good tutorial on bear identification. https://fwp.mt.gov/hunt/education/bear-identification You get a certificate when you pass. The training was fun to do with my daughter.

When hunting pheasant in areas where steel shot is required, I use 2 steel shot in a skeet choked 12 gauge. Kind of decided on 2 shot by accident as I wanted to hunt some wet lands for pheasant and had a box of number 2 under the seat of my PU. I use a flushing dog and the shots I get are often...

I really appreciate the guidance. I am now clear on what I need to do regarding this rifle.

I was thinking a 4473 would be redundant since I had already completed one during the original transaction, so why spend 30 dollars. and I'm guessing it would create a headache trying to transfer ownership without having the owner present.

About 40 years ago, I bought a M700 in 222 from a Texas gun store. At the time I was a resident of Texas. I gave the rifle to my dad who was also a Texas resident, as a gift. Now the rifle which is still in Texas, is being given back to me. I am no longer a resident of Texas and reside 3 states...

Jim Watson, thanks for the links and information. My 03A4 has rebarreled x2, restocked, reblued, and tapped. It was sporterized in the early 60's.

Thanks, that is the answer I was hoping for.

Just curious to what would rebarreling a sporterized 03a4 action rifle, from 30-06 to 9.3x62 entail. Would the magazine need modified? Would the action be long enough for feeding the heavier/longer bullets?

t can't say your bow is safe but I hunt with a Herters recurve purchased in mid 60's. Over the years i have snapped two bows, both broke in the grip area. no injuries unless surprise counts.

A dead tree alone in a pasture is a dove magnet. A water hole with a sloped bank at evening time works well. Weeded pastures, harvested grain or bean fields are going to hot spots. Dove are hard to hit so don't kick yourself if you have a miss. I used to look for a particular shot, to up my...
