Although I have other weapons for home defense, the one gun I'm best with is my Citori.

Yes. I have my granddad's m90 Winchester, shorts only. My great grandfather bought seven of them in about 1921, from Sears Roebuck, one for each of his sons. The reported price was $3.95 each. All are gone now except the one I have. I shot it a lot in my teens, but it's getting rickety, so...

Had several, all in one day, on a pronghorn hunt with my newly built 25-06 on a 1903 action. First with my handloads, and then with two brands of factory loads I borrowed. The delays were maybe 2-4 seconds. It was a frustrating day because I saw the biggest buck I've ever seen, and...

My dad used those primers in the 60s. They weren't corrosive.

This is a pic from a couple years ago. There is nicer figure on the opposite side.

I built my 1903 25-06 around the early 80s. Used a never barreled Springfield action, Douglas barrel, etc. The late Jack Bayuk did all the metalwork and I did the stock. I found a French walnut blank and took it to the Trinidad State Junior College gunsmithing school and had the instructor, a...

I've got a model 10 Trap Grade that was my dad's. Slick old gun that's too long for me, but I won't cut it down because it's probably 100 years old. I occasionally shoot a few pasture clays with it. I understand some parts for it are unobtainium.

Trapper. I have one. Easier to carry than a handgun.

I've been to both Florida and Arizona in the winter. I much prefer Arizona. Florida is a neat place, but where we were, it's wall to wall traffic and people. Most likely we'll just stay in Colorado. Today it's 73, tomorrow, cold again.

As we found out one day when H&Hhunter was here, watermelons and a .470 Nitro Express makes for a fun day.

For the old timers here, moderator Fred Fuller has passed. January 22. He was 70.
