I loved the pics of the Browning 30-06 in the other post….but my heart did a little flutter looking at the double rifle pics too. Hopefully this one is for sale also
I have up for trade 10 rounds of Remington .416 Remington Mag ammo with the 350GR Swift A-Frames. Also has 6 shot brass.
Looking to trade for equivalent value in .375 H&H ammo or 300 Win Mag Ammo.
We each pay our UPS shipping the other’s direction.
One of the posts prompted me to look at the current pricing and availability for NIB/LNIB Model 70s in .375 H&H. Where the heck did all of them go? I traded for one a while back but the pricing on them, if you can find them, is pretty high and making me really consider if I need that one...
Ok. Seems like this thread has stalled a bit so I figure I will toss something out there that I was trying to sell to see if we can get some energy pumping here again. Knowing everyone on this forum, it’ll be hopping pretty quickly. I would like to preemptively speak up for the double rifle...
Ok. Original question was type and caliber recommended to defend against a pack of wolves (not the validity of a wolf attack). Just because wolves are the predator that raises the hackles on the back of the OP’s relative’s neck, it doesn’t mean those hackles shouldn’t have been raised before...
I think we can all agree the likelihood of a wolf/mountain lion/black bear/grizzly bear/eastern coyote/feral hog/moose/feral dog/wolverine/badger/rabid red squirrel attack is quite low. However, add in the % probability of 2 legged predators and you might be in the same total probability of a...
I wish I had kept the link. There was a DNA study on coyotes. The bigger ones have some wolf DNA in them. This makes them bigger and more aggressive compared to the small western coyote. If I have time and can find the article, I will post a link.
I have had a pack of coyotes trail my kids and...
Thanks Bob. It just arrived today so I might try to dig back into the project this weekend. I do like the way the red dot sits on there and the site picture.
Can always practice with 38 wadcutters to get good aim/trigger control and then carry hot .357 loads. If a 2 legged or 4 legged predator are coming at them, it’ll feel like the 38s. But, don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but they are hanging your hopes on 5 rounds. Probably enough in...
My reasoning for higher power and capacity is the adrenaline factor. Most people’s aim and fire control goes to…..poo…. When the adrenaline hits. I would rather have a loved one have extra rounds to protect themselves and enough extra power in the round to make a marginal hit more damaging. We...
My city daily carry is a 4” SW 1911. Always have loved the 1911 and I love the size hole a 45ACP makes. Also love the thinness of the 1911 for concealability. Normally carry 2 extra mags but had a special “crap, gotta go to Milwaukee” rig made so I can carry 4 extra mags.
Have also always loved...
Yes, wolves in WI are becoming a problem. Had a coworker stalked by a pack as he came back from his tree stand.
I personally think as packs are reintroduced into their “traditional” ranges where they have been missing for 100+ years, there will be more conflict as these wolves are not nearly...
Plus, don’t forget putting together an AR15 or AR10 is like putting together an easy Lego set. If you want to go for a lightweight build, you can go with a thin profile barrel, and grab light weight components and save a decent chunk of weight.
One more plug for the 10mm. Look through the offerings from Underwood and DoubleTap. 675-750 ft-lbs of energy. Even Magtec FMJ is over 600 ft-lbs. Also, since 10mm is gaining popularity, it is about the same price as .45 when you buy in bulk.
The Glock 10mm platform is my backpacking gun of choice. Normally has been the G40. Am picking up a G29 right now and a G20 will probably be on the list soon.
The 10mm is a great round. You can also buy a conversion barrel if someone is recoils sensitive.
High capacity mag of a round that, when...
Thanks. I will start scrounging through the parts bin for low scope mounts. I totally spaced it yesterday that I have a set of 11-22mm dovetail adapters that I was using. I can use those with a normal set of low scope rings.
I am not going to worry about quick detach. I am not planning on this...
Well, I finally had some time to mess around with trying to get some kind of optics on my rifle. I found some lower adapters to try and get my 1-8 Vortex Strike Eagle on it. Mounted up nicely and was able to reverse the mount to get the scope far enough back to get it in the correct eye relief...
Body geometry is SOOOO important. I shot a couple rounds of sporting clays with a buddy’s ultra light SXS 12. I am used to my heavy O/U that soaks up the recoil. Also hadn’t shot clays in a coupe of years and have almost been exclusively doing run and gun with the AR. I was not thinking about...
Never had an FFL collect sales tax here in WI with anything shipped in. There is a spot on the Wisconsin State Tax return where you had to claim all no taxed purchases. Pay em $75-ish a year and they did not audit you.
I got the trade I was looking for on here for a .416 Rigby. Also, the examples you threw out here will command a premium and there are people on here with deep pockets if they see something they like. And those three rifles, especially the Dakota, will garner attention here. Never hurts to post...
In the spirit of hunter colleagueship, I will happily swing by and take the donation of all those extra ones taking up space that your wife gets mad about. Happy wife, happy life
