    Best bolt action .22lr?

    Did someone say Winchester 52 ? :) Two, heavy barrel C models and a very early 52 Sporter. I’ll also second the comment that a Kimber Super America is about as fine a modern bolt .22 as you can find. Ed Z

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    Our family has been running 100 Low Lead Avgas in all our small engines for many years (oldest brother is a pilot). Chainsaws, gas trimmers, generators, etc… all of them start immediately even after sitting since last season. I run a Stihl 391 with square ground chain and it rips mesquite and...

    Would you shoot this bull?

    100% yes. What a warrior. I saw a big kudu on a high fenced place in Namibia one year with one horn broken off but he was nothing compared to this one above. Look at the neck on that brute! He's probably still winning battles. despite his broken horns. With a recurve, no less. Very nice...

    Colt 1911, market scouting

    I just Googled "BBQ guns" and read some of the threads on all sorts of gun forums, from PewPewTactical, to the ColtForum. LOTs of opinions on what constitutes a BBQ gun!! Funny reading, actually... I suppose I need to get myself a nice leather holster and belt from El Paso Saddlery and get my...

    Colt 1911, market scouting

    TRUE !! Maybe it's a Texas thing...I dunno? I've heard it for several years around these parts. I bought a couple 1911s from a friend, one was a Kimber that has the look of a National Match "that's my BBQ gun, but I prefer shooting the Springfield Operator" The Kimber did have a fair amount...

    Colt 1911, market scouting

    Colt, pre-series National Match. Understated, no bling, OG, the one that started it all. It will shoot Xs all day long with a variety of ammo. I first qualified my concealed carry with my grandfather’s 1958 National Match. 30 rounds at various ranges, all in the 10 ring. Still relatively...

    Classic and Collectible Car and Motorcycle Thread

    Drove American muscle in high school and early college. Had to sell my ‘70 GTO Judge cause I couldn’t afford all the Premium fuel for it. My next car was a 1969, BMW 2002… that was a revelation. A car that could go around corners and brake??? Took a few years to get back into them but I’ve had a...

    Browning Love?

    Early Browning Safari rifles with the CRF actions are so nice. I inherited Papa’s .270 and hunt with it every opening weekend. It points so nicely and the action is like butter. I would love one in .375 or .458… they come up occasionally in the auctions, but better bring your wallet. Took this...

    Bugs in Taxidermy Mounts

    I use that same, old, soft brush to apply the Mount Saver. Just spray the brush and wipe the mount down. I’ve never noticed any darkening of the horns on any of my mounts, but I already apply beeswax or other oil to my horns to prevent them from drying out. I also do the same to the warthog...

    Bugs in Taxidermy Mounts

    Yep. I took my mounts outside and misted them liberally with Mount Saver. I think I may have also used an old brush to insure I was getting the solution down into the hairs. I misted the entire mount, anything that had hair or horn. I noticed almost immediately that I was not seeing the...
