    New gun shoots waaaay high

    Reconsideration: I would not CUT the comb lower unless I KNEW I was going to keep the gun. Fix it with temporary "un-doable" methods to see it they are going to work without lessening resale value.

    What should I do with all my meat?

    Fry the cutlets pounded and flattened, then breaded with Panko crumbs. Makes a very authentic crunchy schnitzel.

    New gun shoots waaaay high

    There are different theories/preferences on how to "see the bird" with a shotgun. At one time, an Italian method was to "float" the bird fairly high over the rib. Those guns were made to shoot high to compensate for a high float. I have a Beretta auto (400?) a beautiful gun that just shoots high...

    So, does this mean you're no longer considering shipping some to Texas....

    Scratching my head: 7x57 load development

    I have sometimes gotten good 7x57 loads with IMR 4064, but USUALLY it all comes back around to 3031.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    I wish I had the chain--it went to my uncle, who made it as a jeweler. He fashioned a bob in the shape of a cotton bole...my grandfather on my mother's side grew up as a sharecropper, picked a lot of cotton in his life. In the center of the bole was a tiny deep blue geod--I have never found one...

    Want to trade Puma Ben for pristine Arno Bernard knife?

    I must have a wild hair or something. Would trade as new Arno Bernard 3 1/4" with warthog tusk handle and sheath for Puma Ben (hopefully with sheath) The Puma prices run no more than + $25 where I look. PM if interested. Can't call the model name of the Arno at the moment.

    What is the best, most reliable SXS rifle OR shotgun ejector system?

    I don't know how I managed it, but all of my break action guns have extractors vs. ejectors. Due to the influence of the teachings of Robert Churchill, plus anticipating a double rifle some day, which ejector system has proven to be the most robust? Which one is the easiest to work on, keep...

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    Does this apply: my grandfather's gold pocket watch. It never gets to flash or shine unless it gets taken out of my pocket.

    450/400 3” Velocity…is it enough?

    There was a lot of "blue sky" in published loads back when the 450/400 was brought out. It is possible that the stellar reputations of double rifle loadings were achieved with velocity levels that were below what we thought. That said, I would try to get it up to at least 2000. Surely another...

    Politics

    Your comment along with Bowjijohn's jibes well with one of Charlie Kirks statements that this is the most lied to generation ever. Interesting that said sentiment is echoing in divergent cultures' mistrust of institutions. What the leftists have put in, ordinary people are seeing the need to...
