Why is a left hander screwed? Both the right and left hand competition models have the same MSRP, $899

I would be just as concerned about rust as heat. Check the gun often and make sure its wiped down with a oil rag.

Take a look at a EAA Witness. They are a very high quality semi auto and often fly under the radar in terms of accuracy and function.

My suggestion is to try some Vihtavuori powder. In my experience it is the cleanest burning powder there is for semi autos and it meters fantastic. A little more pricey but IMO worth every cent.

Unfortunately that is what they are currently selling for on Gunbrokers. A face to face sale without paying shipping or sales tax could turn out to be a bargain to someone who is out.

Own two lefty Stag Arms. One, the 6L is the most accurate rifle I ever owned. With the right ammo it is capable of .25 MOA. Shooting a right handed rifle is not worth it to me if its also made as a lefty. I want nothing to do with the ejection port opening up directly towards my eyes and face. I try to keep everything in my favor when it comes to safety including wearing glasses.

Was going thru my stash the other day and discovered almost 4 bricks of 22 mag. I did the only sensible thing possible and purchased a new S&W 648. It will be here the end of the week

Dont knock a single stage press for handgun rounds. Its all I ever used since the mid 60's and I never felt they were to slow. I can kill time watching TV or reloading in the workshop. Nothing wrong with being alone for a few hours and assembling a couple hundred rounds of 9mm or 45 acp. If your a competitive shooter I can understand going to a progressive press.

Going to keep my eyes peeled for a used 44 DE. Would make a nice companion to the 50AE. Been wanting one in the gold tiger striped finish but they are selling for astronomical prices.

I give up, must of tried rotating the photo for ten minutes. Every time it appears as upside down. Anyhow, here it is. Brushed chrome finish in 50 AE

Heck, I am not greedy. If someone offered me $100 a brick for .22 ammo would sell off 75% of my stash.

Crazy is as crazy does. I bought some .458 350 grain bullets for $18 a bag (100) 10-12 years ago. Good bullets for the 45-70. Tried to sell them locally for cheap and not one taker. I listed them on Gunbrokers with an opening bid of $9.99. Today the bid is up to over $160.

Ordered the rifle about 10 years ago. Paid to upgrade the wood to AAA and when I opened the box it looked like the stock was made from a fence post. Cooper finally conceded the wood quality wasn’t that good and replaced it. Replacement stock was better but not by a lot. When they first started building rifles the quality of the stocks was outstanding. But every year since they slip a notch or two. Bought a 7mm/08 Classic about 6 years ago and seen better grain on a Remington 700. That was my last Cooper purchase.

Hope I remember them all: LH Savage bolt LH CZ 452 LH Cooper Jackson Squirrel Rifle - 22 mag LH Cooper Custom Classic Ruger 10/22 Savage LH semi auto, think it’s a model 64

I owned three Henrys and never had an issue with any. Also owned three JM's built during the 2000-2007 time frame. Sold every one of the JM's as they were not very accurate and jammed on a regular basis. Have since bought three of the "Remlins" produced in the last 2 years or so. All have been solid rifles with excellent fit and finish.

Cool, Can they order for you or are you stuck to what’s in stock?

Not all vendors are charging sales tax. I got a email from GB a few days ago saying effective 1 Jan 2021 Gunbrokers will be collecting sales tax from buyers of these states: Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada. I was not charged sales tax from a PA dealer on the Desert Eagle I just purchased a couple of days ago. But smart money suggests all states that have sales tax will be on the list as time goes on. As far as 94's go, I think the least expensive one made today has a MSRP of roughly $1200.

Desert Eagle in 50AE, brushed chrome finish with picatinny rail on the top of the barrel. Have no earthly way to justify the purchase other than to have fun off the back porch and to see what happens when it hits the 50 yard gong. Purchased it on Gunbrokers so it will take a week or so to get here. No hurry as I have zero components for it, not even reloading dies. Will take me a few months to gather brass, dies, and bullets as everywhere is out of stock. I double dare the local racoons or skunks to make them self visible around my house this coming spring. Figure all I need to do is get within a few feet and the shock alone will kill em, lol. Empty a mag or two into the ground should take care of the moles. Hope to add a red dot and try it out when deer hunting next season. I'll try to remember to update this post when I finally get a chance to shoot it.

Browning Buckmark or a Ruger Mark IV Target. Then if your old like me save a little more and buy a quality red dot.

We bought several paw paw trees from Turner and Sons Nursery close to McMinnville. Planted them 3 years ago and still no fruit. They seem to be very slow growing. Did have one tree this year have one fruit bud but a later frost killed it. That tree was only about 4 feet tall. We currently have three trees. My thoughts are I always want to keep two alive so they pollinate better so the third tree is a back up. Got rid of another acre of trees a few months ago so might plant a few more paw paws along the edge of the woods and see how they do.

My go to rifle this season has been a Mossberg 30-30 with a 16 inch barrel and some type of brushed nickel/stainless finish. Have a Nikon 1x4 scope mounted on it. Davidsons made it a few years ago. Its light, accurate, and a breeze to get inside the blind or deer tower and carries like a dream. Mossberg 464 Davidson's Exclusive 30-30 Stainless Steel 16" Barrel 41050 - Gunprime Shot a nice buck last year (first with a 30-30). About 35 yard shot and it was a bang, flop, dead deer. Also own a couple of Marlin 45-70's, 2 BLR's. Savage 99 in 300 Savage. Two Winchester 94's with one being a take down model. I really like the Winchester 1895 and in the past owned both a 30-06 and a .405. Both take down models. Used the .405 to shoot a huge bison about 6 years ago.

Joined a few years ago but forgot all about it. Just recently started posting. Been reloading for over 50 years (yea, another old guy). Only lived in Tennessee for 5 years but we love it here. Hunted Alaska from one end to the other for decades and one quick trip to Africa. Went from the bigger magnums down to 6.5 CM, 260, .270, 7mm/08, 06, 30-30, 45-70, etc. My passion is hunting with a handgun but a recent injury has put that on hold. Hope to correct that with a lot of PT in time for next years deer season. Am proud of the fact never shot a big game animal with a factory round. Back in the 60's when I began to reload most shooters and hunters thought reloads were inferior to factory rounds. We have a 50 yard range in our backyard and our deer stands are a 200 yard walk. We eat mainly venison all year and process everything ourself. So, Hi

The first "big" revolver I ever shot was a Python. Back in the mid 1960's a very nice man a few streets over taught me how to cast, size, and lube bullets. Then we would reload them. Once we had 300-400 off to the country we would go. All I remember is it was blued and the barrel was about 6 inches long and it was equipped with a scope, Bushnell maybe? In todays cruel world people would think the guy was up to something evil but he was simply nice and kept a lot of kids from getting into trouble. Anyhow.............a Python has always been on my short list to buy,

I needed a couple of pounds of RL17 recently. Outdoor Junction surprised me and had it on the shelf. That was about a month ago.
