I like em. Older fox squirrels cannot be made tender enough to eat, however. I once cooked several gray squirrels and one old fox squirrel in a pressure cooker. The gray squirrels' meat had fallen off the bone, while I still couldn't poke a fork into the old fox squirrel.

The one you already have won't work in the winter?

email Winchester. I emailed Remington, seeking a manual for a 51 Remington pistol, which hasn't been made since the 20's, and they mailed me a copy; free of charge. If they have one available, I'll bet Winchester would do the same.

What he told you, and my experience with four wheeler tires are the same.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!!

I thought religious discussions were forbidden on this forum.

Speak of the devil.

Cool idea. Do you think one could slug a barrel with parrifin as well? I have a couple of revolvers that I'd like to get a good measure of the bores.

Thanks for your service. I know you hear that a lot, and it doesn't put money in your wallet, buy we really mean it. Thanks.

I guess I'm the odd man out here, but I like the post count. When buying, selling, or trading on a forum, a high post count is a pretty good indication that the person isn't likely to screw you on the deal. A low post count doesn't necessarially translate into a bad trade, but the higher post count does give an indication of their stability on the site. If the moderators you currently have are in charge of the reputation point system, I can see a glaring problem arising with one in particular. You DID ask for opinions, right?

Yeah. We ALL know deer are waaaaaaaaaay too tough to succomb to a 30 caliber 170 grain bullet, unless it came out of a belted magnum.

Anything's possible, but here's my guess. If you are concerned about a powder charge that doesn't fill the case, you can buy Dacron and stuff into the case between the powder and bullet to keep the powder against the primer. That being said, I load some very weak 38 SP loads, and I've yet to have a problem with my powder not igniting. I don't think you'll accomplish much with the test you are proposing.

I occasionally watch them for amusement. Some of the cr@p they try to sell on them is unbelievable. I guess people are buying it. A blind made of a mirror? A goose decoy you sit in? Gimme a break!!!

I'll bet it kicked!!!!! That goes to prove the strength of a mauser type action; specifically, Ruger's take on the grand old design. I have no idea what kind of pressure that created, but you know it's an astronomical number. Just goes to show that one can never be too careful. I can see where something similar to that would be easy to do if you had several rifles and ammo scattered about at a shooting bench.

How bout a 4" N frame S&W revolver? Maybe a 625.

How much do they cost?

I voted for the Remington model 7 predator. I would, however, prefer the wood stocked version of the model 7. The CDL I think they call it. They are pretty rifles, and they are very light and petite. I can't say any of that about the Savage. It is big, bulky, and quite ungainly in appearance. It will most likely be the better shooter of the two, however.

YOu can buy from a private seller, but not an FFL.

Then why didn't you say "my friend" or "the guy that was with me"? It seems to me that you are using him in a veiled attempt at a threat.

Sure you can.....if you've got a buddy on the Sumner County Sheriff's patrol.

Heck, I might just right back over there some day to meet you, Daniel. You seem like a pretty good guy.

I wasn't knocking you in any way, Daniel. I'm a long way from your store, and I can find most anything I need closer. I'm not very good at conveying my thoughts the way I think them. Sorry. Looks like you all have a thriving business. That is what I was trying to say.

I've been in Guns and leather only one time; about a year ago. It was on a weekday; in the middle of the afternoon. They were so busy that I had trouble looking at anything, let alone getting a chance to talk to a salesman. I probably won't go back, but from the looks of it, they must be doing something right.
