    Browning F/N A 5

    I had read somewhere that the F N were marked ahead of the loading port, and the Remington on the right side of the receiver. Is that correct or have I remembered it wrong?

    Worried about CWD.

    I believe it was started in Colo. as mad cow was started in the Northeast. In 1978 Colo. had a bad winter and the Div. of Wildlife and some concerned hunters put together a helo. rescue. They dropped tons of feed pellets to animals that were snowbound. These pellets contained bone meal as a...

    Ruger Mark II "Great Eight"

    Just Purchased a Mark II mod. 00136 8" bull barrel target pistol fitted with a Leupold 2.5-8 scope. It came with the adjustable rear sight, three mags, and matching serial numbered box. It has a 2 lb. trigger pull with a small amount of creep, but feels quite crisp. The barrel is engraved "...

    No Dove Thread?

    As keeper of the ceremonial fire pit, I will attest to whatever it was H&H said. Even from my safe location at the far end of the steppes I could smell the fear, (or the feedlot,not sure). Gaiudo, when you arrive in that tranquil garden across the sea, keep in mind Art's story and never ask...

    My first Bull elk!!!

    Congratulations! Nice Bull, should eat very well. He's not big... but any Bull's a good Bull! I haven't filled in two years and it's mostly without around here. If you find you can't stomach the taste of Bull, just give me a call. :) Smoke

    Anybody near Syracuse KS hunting pheasants this Sunday?

    Sisco We could go as far as Garden City, but that's about 3-3 1/2 hours for us. I'll wait and see what Larry thinks. This is our first trip this year and due to schedules we can only make one day, next trip will be two days. Still looking forward to it. Last year was great and from reports the...

    THR national get together at the Whittington Center?

    Annetta can't be there. Bud may work out something if we can shoot some sporting clays on Saturday. It's not that far to return home in the evening. All I have to do is drive to the airport Sunday, Annetta dresses me, so I don't have to be there to pack!

    Case Tumbler Advice

    I like to size and deprime on brass cases so I don't have to lube them after the tumbler, but then you have to put them in the loading tray bottom up to look for any stuck media. I keep a needle in a piece of foam to push that out. I only use carbide dies on nickel plated stuff so the dies...

    Storing Black Powder--Critique My Plan

    I store between 10, and 1 lb. in the bottom draw of an old metal file cabinet. Above it are all my fly fishing reels. The cabinet sits on the concrete floor of my tack room-reloading room-fly tieing room-gun safe room. This is in a 25X25 section of a 50' metal building which sits 20' from the...

    ? About shortening a double barrel side by side

    I have two mule ear doubles that I cut down and am happy with both. The first is an Enders Royal which is a hardware store type on a Cresent action. It was displayed in a restaurant as a piece of "Deco-Art" painted yellow with some feathers and a tacky indian theme. I only paid 75 bucks for...

    Parting shot with Dad

    I'm truly sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad this last spring. There's not a day he doesn't come to mind, but when I'm alone in the wild it seems he speaks to me on the wind, or in the rustling of the water. Last July was my first trip to Alaska alone in 11 years. I'd sometimes find myself...

    Are you good at elk hunting?

    I'd have to say rarely, but they aren't that hard to hunt. I've harvested 6 in 30 plus years of hunting them. There have been a lot of years I passed on harvesting one. Many times I'd find some in a drainage that would kill man, or horse to get it out before it goes bad. Some places I'd have...

    Hunters' Numbers

    Marty1, Take a kid hunting, take his Father or Mother along if they'll go. Not all people who have never hunted are against it, just haven't had the chance. Sometimes it's better if you don't bag anything on the first hunt, people like to see that it's not too easy. When they see all there is...

    Elk Hunt in Colorado

    I know what you're saying Mike. I'm sure it's not the same as when your Dad and big Brother went, but it's always great to be there! I took my Daughter last weekend and we did the same as you, enjoying the setting, but no action. We're going again Thursday just for the day. It's just to bad a...
