Buy new. Anything you mess with from the factory will be a loss of value.

Probably.

We have a small family owned civil construction business in Alaska. In other words we have bought ourselves a job. When I’m not working I’m doing something else thinking about work. It’s taking its toll.

Jhsmith is a great guy to visit and do business with. Glad you like it!

I live and hunt in Alaska. The wet part. 100” plus rain a year. There is nothing wrong with a properly sealed wood stock. I have a Tikka with a wood stock that gets absolutely soaked. Also, we have plenty of alders. Stainless is nice but it will still rust unless it’s an old Ruger All...

A couple of pics:

Great scope. I have the straight version.

I haven’t watched that in awhile. I have a potty mouth but I don’t appreciate that vid. I mostly like those guys and contribute on their website. Anyway, regarding the lack of the follow up….did the PH tell him to shoot again?

You bet. Give me a couple minutes.

Merry Christmas all. I’ve met some great people here. Hope for the future.

Yes they are called BAR’s. I’ve owned 3 of them over the years. The standard ‘06 case family worked fine, accurate enough, the 300 magnum I owned was a constant jammer that went back to Browning twice. A neighbor had one in .338 magnum and carried it in the big bear woods with no issue. I’d...

Everything but the Winchesters is available.

This is the Miroku built reproduction 1895 standard rifle in 30-06. It is unfired, with box and manual. It has been handled and the action has been opened. These Brownings are nice, no extra safety. Pics by request, send me a message here. $1800 shipped

Krish can still hook you up with components I bet.

I could be missing your point since you are a military guy. I don’t know how one such as myself having never served would compare percentage of participation in the GWOT to WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Bush War, etc. since there was no draft for it. Also a lot of them had to go back for multiple...

I have one. 1938 Deluxe. It may have been fired before I got it, but it for sure has now. . Random thoughts: If you’re going to buy a shooter, don’t sweat the long tang/short tang. If you’re thinking more along the lines of holding value, long tang. Also the craftsmanship superb on the...

I believe Smith was aware of their system’s downfalls. They needed to be landowners to vote as an example wasn’t probably the best idea (however the small portion of Atilla the Hun in me agrees just a little with that). At any rate, they were working on it. It’s too bad they didn’t get any...

The book that was mostly about Darrel Watt is also a good one. Handful of Hard Men I think it is. It’s shameful what the West did to those people.

Nice and excellent comp on the pics. I wish I could do that well.

300 H&H SPF

This is always a good discussion that never gets heated. The .224 77 TMK, 73 and 75 ELDm kills NA animals with authority as does a bonded 75gr Speer Gold Dot. Pages upon pages of documentation. In my experience it is almost too much of a good thing inside of 400 yards if you like to eat...

Happy to. It has those 3 barrels headspaced to the receiver. With the appropriate action wrench and a barrel vise they can be swapped in a few minutes to a different cartridge. The recoil lug is pinned so it stays put. Same receiver, multiple cartridges. The 7RM barrel was the first one...

Could probably dredge up a couple boxes of new yellow box Winchester brass too.

6X45 on a Bighorn Origin, Hart mountain rifle countour, McMillan Hunters Edge, Triggertech, HS Precison DBM. Built by Shaen Magen. Like new. $2400 shipped

Savage 16FLSS flat top .308 PacNor 20” threaded Savage Magnum Contour. Rifle Basix Sav2 trigger. McMillan Fiberglass sporter stock, blind mag. Shoots little bitty groups with 168 Gold Medal Match $1100 shipped.

Even though it’s not original factory, the .300 is equally as nice.

.375 H&H SPF

I am at a point in my life where these aren’t going to be used much anymore. My kids are right handed, and I’d really like to take my wife to ZIM while still upright. Winchester Model 70 LH Super Express .375 H&H. Very good original condition, bluing is great, a couple of pressure dents in...

I have done lots and lots of shows. The jerky and roasted nut vendors do the best. Once, stationed next to a southern CA fishing club, I struck up conversation with the booth attendants. We talked about all the folks walking by but no one stopping. The guys said “wait until tomorrow”. They...

I have an Axis Pro 2 with a magazine issue. They are sending me a a new magazine. I doubt it will fix it but they are very responsive to customer service inquiry.

Doesn’t even have to be “long range”. Set up a 1 MOA dot at 100, 200, and 300. See who can hit it first try with their all day long tack driver. Even from a bench. Not very many can.

I caretake a lefty Ruger 77 with a Lothar/Walther 9.3X64 chambered barrel. It was put together by someone very special to me who has passed. I know he’d want me to carry it but it’s too damned nice. One day….

First Gen Ford Raptor SVT 6.2. Bone stock, with the exception of updated front coil - overs. 230K miles. Everything works. It gets hammered on running the gauntlet of rural Alaska potholes. Fast and uses lots of gas. Best truck I’ve ever seen.

Really the only die set I’ve ever had trouble with was a Lyman. I have 20+ cartridges I have or do load for. I have every make imaginable. For todays money, Lee dies are hard to argue with.

Used in great condition. This is a nice optic I have owned for many years. I am selling because I have found that they are not appropriate for the maritime climate I operate in. They have been returned to the factory for reseal/cleaning, most recently this past summer. They have stayed in...

They are hard to sell much less get close to the original investment. My dad told me this years ago and of course I always knew better. Bone stock all original with a reasonable price and you can recover, mostly. I’ve done way too many of them, might get .50 on the dollar if lucky. It’s...

Still the best of a bad lot. And that’s not saying much. Our outbound/inbound originate in Juneau. They’re the only game in town. Love/hate.

Nice

I would not replace the factory trigger with a Timney for a dangerous game rifle. The Timney is not reliable. Your rifle though. Great write up. I don’t see a single group there that’s unacceptable. Nice work.

It’s very nice to shoot. It has a great trigger, a good feel all around.

Replied.

Push-feed, not sure date of manufacture but definitely ‘64 or newer. They didn’t make a huge number of these, kinda oddball. This rifle came to me stocked in a hideous Fajen thumb hole, I found a factory stock for it. Stock is not the original. It’s nice however I believe it has been...

Thank you!

I recently got a push feed mdl 70 in .225 Win. And a bunch of factory ammo. Some savage had put it in a Fajen thumb hole stock. I found an original, it’s ok, been sanded a little but not horrible, and a little whittling was done on the barrel channel. Should make a good shooter/trading...
