MO deer season opened this morning. I had a nice 6 point tease me passing west to east at 75 yards (4 point on one side antler requirement). 10 minutes later he wandered back by at 25 yards. A bit later a doe fed to me from 75 yards to 50 yards. She presented her left shoulder for the shot. At...

Beemaa - Ha! What tracking!?!? It was a unique spectacle to watch see her take her death "sprint" - butt up in the air, churning away with the chest sliding along the ground in a 25 yard circle - never seen anything like it. As I drug her out of the woods, I crossed the circle - blood all...

I have two .35 WAI rifles - both built off of Turk Mausers (full length) - zero feeding problems.

I have done a half-dozen VZ-24 and Turk Mauser conversions - they are not the least expensive way to go - it is more along the lines of tailoring it to exactly what you want - much cheaper to buy a new one. I have not tried a 9.3x62 in a VZ-24 - I shied away from it with my .35WAI (63mm case...

Has she ever fired a gun? If you take her out and fire .308W first it will likely scare the crap out of her and you will lose her. Why not start with .22LR, as I do with all of my firearm students. .300 WIN Mag on first day of shooting! Are you out of your mind? My lady students are (on the...

Why do I find myself circling Toby like a vulture, waiting for his next rifle stable adjustment? LOL!!!! I haven't even been to Africa for hunting yet! (Just the armpit Djibouti for Uncle Sam)

Pretty fancy - I very much appreciate the beauty of the wood, but gave up on it for my guns - last walnut stock I slaved over lasted all of about an hour - caught my foot on a root and fell - scratched the crap out of the stock and just don't have the heart to invest all that time and love...

Thanks, Hogpatrol - I have marked the website - I think this is exactly what I needed!

M17

Shootist - don't need a stock - have 6 dangerous game stock blanks - also don't want the P-17 stock shape/pattern/sizes on the outside - just need the stock blank inletted

Who is the lucky guy that bought the pantogram machine several months ago? Or, does anyone know of a good place to go for this inletting work? Thanks

Have acquired 212 pieces of properly headstamped brass, dies, chamber gauge, P17 action and stock blank. Fool's errand, here I come...

and the cost for your Bushcraft hunter is... (gulp)? What would just the steel be?

Plebes at USMA (in my day) ate square meals - at attention, 90 movement of arm to mouth, bites no larger than the end of your thumb, order arms while you chew or a classmate is getting more beverage, etc.. If you and your classmates had a tight shot group and were doing their duties well, the...

Kudos to you, Sir, for your forthright/in-depth details about how you have renovated this rifle. As we used to say in a prior vocation, 60 seconds of Big Bites for you!

Von Gruff - your pattern above is what we have as a Bushcraft knife here in the States. I really like that pattern, but have not been able to delay/sacrifice a rifle build for a Dozier made like your template. I have putzed around a tiny bit myself with 1095 bar stock and really like your...

Tempting....

Sounds like you are really trying. If this is what God put on your heart, He will open the right doors.

Or watch the other guys punching their buttons in the booth taking the test at the same time... Not that I would ever do that, but I heard a story once of a young Soldier that did...

Wyatt - .375 H&H or Ruger?

BeeMAA - you knothead - we never bothered with "Go Army" - the Army always is on the go - we just say BEAT NAVY! I am glad we had you running a nuke reactor though - the entire team is important! I will still rib you, but would also go back to back in a fight to cover your six.

At least you tried, Wyatt. So now be a great US citizen by knowing the Constitution, making your own way, and being able to serve as a Minuteman when the time comes.

Sorry, Navy - what is GNBA? You had a nuke reactor - I had the lives of 29 Cavalry scouts to worry about - can you imagine a Tide Pod challenge idiot doing our jobs?!

Yes he should!!!!

I would be/was on the East/West German border leading patrols, or at Graf for gunnery, or at Hohenfels for maneuver training. I suspect that I was ahead of you a bit when I raised my right hand... It is OK to be a gun nerd!!!!! You do have a point - pretty select group of people haunting the...

Glad I finally knew something about a topic on here and could contribute!

Forrest - when I worked at A-Square in the 90s, I built one for myself. Left handed, so was done on a big Sako action. The big pinch for it now is there is virtually no one making brass, let alone ammo. The Lott, Gibbs, or Jeffrey would be much wiser choices in terms of component availability...

Northern Hunter - here is my $.02 worth Action (Model 70 CRF)- Yes/No? I'm told the stainless "Classic" action is ideal, but am open to other suggestions. 3 position safety with bolt lock (nothing likes to open a bolt like climbing in alders) - THE WIN 70 IS FINE - A TURK MAUSER (IT HAS CRF)...

Just...WOW!!!!

The REAL question, Gentlemen, is - now that Toby is getting excited about this .375 H&H Stainless Winchester, what will be put up for sale from his safe(s) in order to make room for this new favorite!?!?!? I am watching the classifieds! LOL!!!!!!

Off topic!

You can eat with us once a week so you don't starve : )

HogPatrol - they are plain - standard grade walnut - not fancy/A, or AA, or AAA - they were purchased for their strength and not looks in particular. The intent was to get wood that would stand up to .505 Gibbs, or .500 A-Square levels of recoil. I did wet one down with alcohol as you...

Absolutely! This is exactly what they are for!

Watching to see what the experienced lads have to say...

I am such a beginner....

How can a guy be so relieved (at dodging a bullet) and crying (for not being able to buy a great deal piece of gear) at the same time?

Best rucks I have ever worn, guys!

No one is dreaming and building?

What - no love for Sakos?!

Toby - your list demonstrates to me that there is hope I will find a used .458 Lott to buy here on the AH boards one day!!!! LOL!!!!! Thanks a great deal for sharing!

I don't know about you guys, but the name makes me want to throw-up. Did Greta come up with the name?

WOW! I missed alot re-reading Boddington last night! To permit you to frame my comments I am a 21 year Army veteran of: - 10 years of active duty - 4 years at the Uncle Sam's Community College (United States Corps of Cadets), scout platoon leader and troop XO in West Germany, then S-4 for...
