Finally did something I wanted to for twenty years

By promising the wife I'd remove the .50 and hang out stockings from the permanent hooks

She's probably doing you a favor. The heat from that fireplace insert is probably drying out the rifle's stock.

There is an effective heat deflector angled away from the fire place and it works well. This is in our Calif. Homestead so infrequently used only from Dec thru Jan normally. But Christmas she said stocking only.

In our Oregon place won't be a muzzleloader and we do use that insert alot more.

Yes it was.
169" 9pt with my t/c Hawken .54 that I built from a kit in 1983. I use it almost every deer season.

Actually the buck over my mantle was taken from the same stand location as my #1 son took his archery buck this fall ...16 years later!


Any similarities??
I think so
