Sorry to hear of your loss. We had to have our 11 year old bulldog put to sleep last November and the wife and I still fill her water bowl. I am sure he was much more than a pet, more like a child. Prayers to you and your family.

I had a Ruger M77 in 270 Win that was an extension of me.it Was The original version with the tang safety (I may be the only person on earth who preferred the old push-feed action over the upgrade mkII)

I haven't been there yet but for some reason I really can't get excited about kudo for some reason. They just have never tripped my trigger. Same with Hartebeast (to damn ugly) . I just never had the want for one. With that said I would take just about anything legal if I took a fancy to it!

Great News! Glad to hear things are going better.

I go to Dick's from time to time, not to buy but to drop load of shit when I need to go. I figure I can give back what they give us.

OUTSTANDING!!!!:A Bravo:

I guess karma is served.

Congratulations! You can't go wrong buying a M70. I've had a couple over the years, a pre64 30-06 and one made in 85/86 timeframe in 25-06. Both went to finance an new Styer AUG, an AK, and two SKSs. Never had any problems with either one and both worked like silk. Those rifles...

Congratulations!! Grew up in Charleston and learn to swim at UC when it was Morris Harvey College (I guess I am showing my age). I know that piece of paper shows a whole lot of work and perseverance. Took me almost twenty years to get my BA and another five for my Master's. Keep on trucking...

I've always wanted a Rigby rifle marked .275. Also a .470 NE for no other reason than I like the numbers. I wish I could get back some of the toys I sold and traded over the years and regretted ever since.

Thanks for the input! I have come to the conclusion that I will get this rifle in about a week or so. I usually decide to buy a gun and then wait a few days. Keeps me from going crazy wasting money. I appreciate those who point out the advantages of the 7.65 round. I had one rifle so...

I need some input to make a decision. I came across what I believe is a commercial action Mauser sporter chambered in 7.65 Argentine or Belgian. The rifle handles like a dream, shoulders and points like a dream, and operates smoother than a babies butt. I have been haunting pawn shops for...

Boarding airlines is a royal pain in the ass. Last time I flew I missed the connection home because of how they boarded. From my perspective on things it would go a LOT faster loading not by who needs what help but rather loading the last row first on up through the first row. Takes out a...

I'll second that Bas!

We styhave another two weeks to get deer in the freezer. Hoping for a few chances but hell, whether or not I get one or dozen is truly immaterial to me. I have a blast watching the other critters. Sunday morning I was out and left my ammo sitting at home. Carried an empty rifle and watched...

Welcome aboard!

I hope your daughter gets better quickly. My wife had to take care of her Aunt for 2 weeks and I was lost. At least you have your music! Your choice of music is great. I run a lot of Pat Benetar and old time radio for my enjoyment.

Sweet! At that range with it facing you any rifle is to little.

That's what I do except I use my handgun reference for shots.

Had a couple of questionable grey squirrels come to close for comfort last December. Lucky for me I had a solid to sort things out! Another three feet and I would have had it in my lap!

My spots are all walking distance from the house also. And I enjoy the affliction! I was thinking that maybe I need a .470 though because of all the squirrels!

I was just wondering. The area I hunt has a swamp to one side that makes twenty-five yards a long shot and the other side is soybean field that reaches out to about 600 yards from my stand. Until the last couple of years I usually used a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt. Then I bought the .416 and...

Sitting here in the North Carolina woods watching for deer it occurred to me that I may just be over gunned, or undersighted. Across my lap is my beloved CZ 550 .416 Rigby. Nothing fancy, just factory stock, express sights, loaded with the old Hornady DGX 400 grain soft. I have passed up two...

Sorry to hear. Praying for the families of those gone from this world.

I just did the survey for the third time. My guess is that there is no limit.

For what it may be worth, done on my end. Semper Fi

The Hunting game

I have been here for a while, reading and enjoying the myriad of posts and vast personal experiences. Just reading makes me happy (and to be truthful perhaps a bit jealous). I spent twenty years in the Marine Corps and have been fixing helicopters my whole life. I have also been a lifelong...
