    Smoothing out the action

    Years ago I read a magazine article that recommended using automotive valve grinding compound on the bolt. Place in on the rails and run the bolt back and forth, then follow it up with some polishing compound for the vehicles paint, again just back and forth. Never close the bolt so that you...

    Lever Guns and Plains Game

    I think that it would be fantastic to take a lever gun on a plains game hunt, but you may have to be choosy as far as what cartridge. Any of the 45-xxx or 50-xxx ones would work quite well. That 30-30 would also on a number of the smaller animals up to impala size ones, it would work on a...

    Retired - Now What?

    That second levels name didn't happen to be Dave Johnson out of Casper was it? I retired with Quest after 34 years in 2008

    Alternatives to wired transfers of money

    With the amount of fraud that is happening I can understand the banks being a little bit cautious with wire transfers. The last ones that I did there were a number of questions that I was asked by my smaller local bank. But after answering the questions it was no problem in getting it sent...

    Retired - Now What?

    A number of years before I retired we had to fight for our time off. The company was looking at all the hours allowed for all the members of the crew and if it didn't add up to a full years worth of entitled time off they started to block certain times during the year. It didn't bother me too...

    Tips for a novice horse rider

    On my bear hunt in British Columbia we were 23 miles back into a wilderness. A half mile from the cabins the outfitter had constructed a pole gate across the trail with no way around it for a horse. I figured that if the horses ever broke loose and headed home to the corrals that we wouldn't...

    Politics

    I think that someone has watched way too many movies or TV shows where they shoot the gun out of the perps hands or just wounds them in the leg. It's funny but there are a lot of people who think that is all law enforcement need to do to win the day.

    Tips for a novice horse rider

    I doubt that he'll have anything to do with the horse other than riding it. On my bear hunt I'd get up in the morning and while I was eating breakfast the wrangler would be saddling up my mount, when I got back and was changing out of wet clothes they would be unsaddling my mount. Even on...

    Gun cases - 1 for 2 rifles or take 2 for 2 rifles when traveling/Africa

    I wouldn't say "most people" use quick disconnect mounts. In a grand total of 2 trips with close to 20 hunters combined I haven't seen a single set of quick disconnect scope mounts. On the scopes holding zero, I think that a lot depends on the scope. My rifle of choice has made two trips to...

    on a lighter note...

    The way that the winter has been around here we all are praying that he sees his shadow. Either that or the Coor's brewery is going to be importing their water for the beer.

    Tips for a novice horse rider

    With a lot of these things your outfitter will let you know. My first day I was tying up my horse with the lead rope, my guide came over and untied it and tied it back up the same way that I had it tied. From then on I let him tie up my horse. On boots, I commented when I first got on my...
