The plastic parts are no less durable than the old horn trigger guards, surely.

Good points, all. Please post a title to your thread on changing out to a medium bolt stop and magazine? I guess I am as long as they offer having ordered a 7mm Rem Mag. If they make a longer magazine, someone please tell me as things are a bit cramped in trying to seat a 175gr farther out.

What really hurts is paying more for the suppressor than you did for the Tikka!

If I saw a Topi standing on a mound, I would recognize the silhouette but I didn't remember the antler. Beautiful!

Funny, but about the same funny as waiting for the Cowboys to win Division/Super Bowl....sad

Even if it is not, your permit to re-enter the country with it won't lie about the caliber....

I would love to see Rapinoe discarded after these Olympics! Can't wait to forget her.

I really hate to hear things like that--I have to attend a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta this Oct.

they are ugly to the bone and you are likely spot on as to them being Botfly larvae whatever that is instead of land leaches, whatever those are---I just repeat what I'm told, same as being married....

Just don't let the "impatient/short attention span" generation do reloading in a hurry. My youngest brother and nephew both got Lee shotgun reloader set ups and decided to mount them facing each other so they could have a race. Skipping a powder charge is an inconvenience at the clays course...

....unless you are sharpening a knife....

Ultimate answer: black plastic rifles (the ones younger shooters like) shoot cheap stuff for the most part. Why reload if factory ammo is cheap and you mostly "spray and pray" anyway?

For elk, not popping open the ball joints can lead to bone sour even if temps are cold. They are just too massive and retain heat in there.

That USED to be the liberal's motto

Thank you, but I meant land leeches which get under the rabbit's skin. Ugly things. Where I was raised everybody called them wolves, don't know why.

Not on a deep level... but there are always a few church members and relatives you have to associate with who may be even opposed to hunting. I try to educate them, sometime it works, some no way.

Well, that would explain a miss my boss made back when--he looked dead on to me, but there was a heavy tuft of tough grass, and he was shooting a .410 On an additional note, any of you run into rabbits with "wolves" (land leeches?) under their hides when hunting in a bit warmer weather?

It's Trump

If you can walk a straight line in any direction, you will probably find a Starbucks.

Well, they probably figured folks were so bored watching curling that they wouldn't notice. But then, it seemed to take up half the TV coverage, which boded against it.

Do the snow shoe hares run a big circle but end up pretty much where they started? My brother had beagles when he was stationed in NH and put them to work!

Dad and the school principal used to hoop net the buffalo using cotton seed meal for bait, then sell them on the poor side of town.

Suckers are sweet and do run up the little creeks. A bit more round shaped. Buffalo, both large mouth and small mouth is more like a carp. Flesh is white, tastes great, has 10k fan bones. In fish terms "Buffalo wings" are the rib bones and meat covering the guts that only have the long bones...

Has anyone mentioned "all things Swift" in terms of bullet availability??

Gotta tell this true story: There was a young couple getting married in Mississippi who had already sent out the wedding invitations formally, when the young man said "we can't get married on that date, the shell crackers are on the beds!" His young bride told her mother, "he's right, mama--the...

Man, you've gone "Coon-ass" now with talk about mullet Frys and gar balls--next you'll be talking about "goggle eyes," and Shellcrackers, which means you are a good ole boy!! Is it "Scooters" restaurant on the highway down to Navarre beach that is always serving mullet--and the water/sand is so...

But, DEEP DOWN IN YOUR HEART, you know that crappie beats anything!

"Cut up through the briars" brings back GOOD memories. If you go into the briars, the rabbits run into the open/if you walk in the open, they run into the briars! You and Altitude Sickness nail it on table fare. The French cookbooks have lots of rabbit recipes. My wife will gladly eat rabbit...

Fascinating! So, one part of the bite is shall we say "standing" while the rear "eye" comes up? Thanks so much for the picture. Love the engraving motif on that gun, BTW

I looked, and by golly you're right, it was in the Speer manual! So the .318 thing was the cause of the rumor and folks that actually own a 32 are probably doing just fine?

Interesting, but not for me. Had no idea how much was involved with paper patch bullets

Chamois is on my list, most definitely

Pictures?

Fiddlesticks!

Lovely gun. For those of us not as familiar with the exact workings of a rising bite action, could you pleasure us with a few more pictures of the action closure?

Not to throw a skunk in the room, but did I read that the twist rate was slow on the 32 and it lost accuracy potential too soon as a result? (Or is there a 32 Rem, don't remember) Granted we shouldn't believe all that we read.

Wish I could be there! You fellas enjoy it for me.

I think my euro mounts look good on the wall.....but I would have to cut one inch off the tape measure for them to be 40" BTW, if you shoot a too young, but over 40 bull there will be a big boiled off gap in what was the soft boss center area.

Not forgetting the title of this thread, what I would do is kill ANYTHING short of thick skinned DG at under 200 yds.

You and all the folks casting their own fishing weights!

I thought a smallmouth I caught outside Branson tasted good. Good to read all the info in this post, never too old to learn something useful.

Prayers for the family. At first I thought of the man who wrote the book on African cartridges....

I just gave 50 of those away over on the "Pay it forward" thread

And that's a good thing, just more work. But the extra is there for you to get it the way you like it.

Great--but it would be nice if they could clear the land mines left after the war....

The World of Beretta, by R.L. Wilson is a well done book on archival paper. Probably could pick one up on Amazon. Illustrious company.

One thing I learned that will massively increase your hits on running rabbits--absolutely ignore the brush, just shoot through it without hesitation. There will always be enough pellets get through to kill a rabbit. You don't have to have a rabbit perfectly in the clear, so don't check your swing.
