SIGH ... Oh to be young again...! I love these rifles.... GLWS . grandpaw leroy...

Shades of the old time Texas Ranger rigs.. I love this setup. Congratulations on your heirloom leather... that's exactly what it is... admiring leroy...

Interesting... It well could be... The aluminum cases may not hold the primer as well as brass does.. leroy...

Look for a small burr on firing pin nose... Rub your finger over it n look at it with a magnifying glass if ya can . leroy...

A " rare bird "... Never seen one and I've handled a bunch of em... GLWS .. leroy...

Go to eBay and search for TIMBUK2 messenger bags. They are hipster bags and are extremely well made and extremely cheap if ya watch. I use em for everything. The " hipsters " are evidently suckers for " the next new thing ", and the bags seem to wind up slightly used to unused in consignment shops. They are made of cordura and will hold more than ya can carry. Look for the " used " bags. That said, if ya like a " traditional " bag, ya can't beat Savior Equipment for the price ... bargain huntin leroy, the TIMBUK2 bag man...

Got his Brother in 300 win mag ... Generally good for about 1/2 MOA. These guns are, in fact, the old " top of the line " of the turnbolt era. These are excellent rifles n easy to re- barrel... GLWS... leroy...

The son has one ... I think it's an improved version the original chargers. I, too am a fan of the 5.7×28. Deadly accurate, low recoil, pretty good selection of ammo. What's not to like... leroy...

Congratulations Brother... Got his brother in a 4 incher myself. The son used ta carry him.,. Ya can't have too many 44 s of any flavor... leroy...

Used ta be... Check your inbox.. leroy.

Red... Got his older brother in the safe. Model 12 solid frame 18 inch riot... Sitting next to 2 model 97s -- both riots; one flaming bomb marked, the other police marked. Browning BPS ( what the model 12 should have evolved into ) 18 inch riot by the bed . I confess to being a Winchester pump gun riot junkie... leroy...

Model 12..? leroy....

Yeaah..!!! What Mista armededucator said..!!! Every shotgun man owes it to himself to own or at least slam fire a model 97... Then you'll know why the WW1 Germans feared em so much...I love em... leroy....

Remember this great quip by the " Father of the Gunsite Academy ", the great Jeff Cooper:.... They ( the SAA, DA Revolver, or 1911 ) are all the same til the first reload. Armed citizens rarely find themselves in " reload gunfights. A finished revolver man, nomatter the flavor of revolver, is a thoroughly dangerous man, and is quite capable of stopping multiple threats. The " high capacity spray n pray approach is overrated. leroy...

Rane... I'm finally gettin the picture... HEHEHE... Many thanks Brother. leroy...

I gotta ask... What in the world doya use these for..? I've got 2 win mags, never saw this round before... Many thanks leroy...

I've got this guy's little brother ... The CR920... They are great small pistols; highly recommended. Fair price... GLWS... leroy...

Lotsa wisdom here. Roane and I are in the same boat... We got a few years on US --- we ain't as spry as we once were.. We are right where one of my shooting mentors was when he gave this advice to me: ... " I'm an old man, most any punk can slap me around--- they just ain't goin to "... Us old curmudgeons are easy targets. The element of suprize and a good pistola are great deterrents to mayhem. I know, I've had the problem a time or two. leroy...

Thank you Brother..! admirin leroy..

When I wuz younger, 60 or so years ago, we regularly used peeps on lever guns. Easy installation n great improvement in the sights. leroy..

I'd love ta have one ..! I do have a 28 ga Browning Citori. The 28 ga is a great, lightweight shotgun. leroy...

For a pretty good time the 300 win mag and the 300/338 wildcats were used as reliable military 1000 YD target guns. They are built in the same action as the 7 mm mag as I remember. As I remember, the 7 mag, 300 win mag, and the 338 mag are long actions. The weatherbys may be extra long actions. All ya got ta do is replace the barrel in your 7 mag. Any of the old line target barrel makers can do em.. The 300 win mag wuz used as a sniper gun as well. I've got a single shot Rem 40X in the back of my gun safe that is as accurate a rifle as I've ever shot. Hope this helps.. leroy.

Good luck with the new venue. This is the absolute best fun show in the Knoxville area, bar none. leroy...

For what it's worth: Ya can buy a " large caliber " ( 308 ) bolt gun in the 700 to 1200 dollar range that will easily shoot into 1 moa. The Marines fought WW2 with bolt guns, not garands. The 308 size guns are good as far as ya can see if you do your part n know the gun. My pick in this range would be a Tikka 243 light sporter. These guns are accurate, light, n dependable. RE: The AR-15... There has been more BS written about " quality " ars than any other rifle produced. Most of the BS comes from the purveyors of these " quality ars ", and is nothing more than hype and pandering to the " pride in ownership " and " gotta have the best " crowd. A " budget ar " will shoot into about 1.5 to 2 moa... That's 3 to 4 inches at 100 yards. Your head is about 9 or so inches wide. You can homebuild a " quality " ar for between 600 and 800 bucks. The big hitters are the barrel, the trigger, n a good bolt. I like a lighter rifle now that I'm a septuagenarian. My ARs are in the 5.5 ta 6.5 pound range n they shoot very well... Ya can buy a match quality barrel for 250 on up. I use the Faxon ultralites myself, but there are plenty of good barrel makers out there today. I've been shooting rifles about 55 or so years now. I've never had one that could not be tweaked to shoot better than me. If ya want ta learn about shooting rifles, burn lotsa powder thru em. Don't be drawn to the idea that a better rifle means being a better shooter. Being a better shooter begins with shooting. here's hopin this helps a bit . leroy...
