Haven't gotten a letter here, but I drive for a government agency so I'm exempt from having the medical card luckily. Thought about getting the med card in case I wanted to moonlight on the side but never have.

Ive been wanting to pick up a DW1911 ever since a member here let me fondle his Dan Wessons a couple years ago after I bought a Kimber Eclipse from him. I found this one on Buds. Ordered it Monday night, and it arrived at my ffl today. It was a trade in but you can barely tell it. Plus it saved me about $300 on a new one. Cant wait to shoot it!

Ive got 4 or 5 Nikons around here on various deer rifles. They seem to be a great value. But after purchasing a Vortex Viper last year for my 308 I am hooked. It will be Vipers from here on out. ETA: Ive had a Vortex SPARC on an AR for about 3 years. Has performed flawlessly. Would like to try the SPARC 2. Might hafta buy one for the wifes AR.

Big fan of his, him and Hickok45 are probably my 2 favorite channels. Glad his health is improving, wished he would make more vids.

LOL, nice.

Yep, I remember my first. I wanted ONE just to have ONE. Then another showed up , then I built one, then I built one from leftover parts, then...... It's a disease! I really like those S&W rifles, you done good.

Prayers for you buddy.

Hadnt checked in a couple years but I bought the Mud Lites on my Rancher from National tire and wheel. Ntwonline.com

When I was younger and even dumber I started out deer hunting with dads old 30-06, but I just had to have a new wizz bang magnum. Started with a 7mm mag then a 300wm. Then I had a revelation. I rarely shoot over 100 yards anyway. These days I mainly use 7mm08 6.8spc,or 308 although I used a 243 for a few years also. Guess what, I killed more deer with the little 243 and I wasnt broke or bruised from shooting it.

I almost bought a new SR1911 Commander the other day at Buds, boy I'm glad I didn't. I will have one of these.

I've spent way to much money at SGammo.com Great people to do buisness with. And hello from a fellow Newport resident.

Just got out of the movie, the place was dead silent, not a whisper to be heard as everyone exited. Would definitely recommend.

I placed an order for a complete upper on 12/15 and received it 12/24. Suprised the heck outta me. Even after I recieved it, my order showed "processing" for a few days. I ordered a complete lower build kit and some 6.8 mags Saturday,so we'll see how long they take. PSA posted on AR15.com that they are about 9-10 days behind.

I had a 20" stag 6.8 upper that I really liked but it was just too heavy for my taste. I'll probably replace it with a 16" soon. Bison and ARP are both great choices.

I saw 6 Saturday morning in Decatur county. Killed a big doe and missed a huge 8 about 11:15. Shot a treelimb a few feet in front of my rifle that wasn't visible through the scope. Got one buck tag left, gonna try to fill it next weekend when I can get back to the lease.

I don't have a lot to add but this. We have 3 Honda Ranchers. An 01,03, and mine is an 05. They have been abused ,beat, all the plastic nearly busted off and not a straight piece anywhere. But none have ever had a mechanical problem. They just keep on ticking. When it's time to get a new one I will be buying another Honda.

Very cool little rifle. I really like the American line of Ruger rifles.

For practice ammo check out Georgia Arms. Fmj rounds are usually around $22 per 50. I usually hit there booth at the gun shows but you can also order from there website. If something shows out of stock on the website, give them a call. Sometimes they dont have enough in stock to list online. Ive done that several times when ordering there Canned Heat(500rds).   For full power loads Underwood ammo is the top choice. I carry there 180gr XTPs during deer season and 155gr XTPs the rest of the time.     http://www.georgia-arms.com/new-canned-heat-10mm-180gr-full-metal-jacket/     http://www.georgia-arms.com/10-mm/?fullSite=1

All my climbers are Summit. Ive owned others but keep coming back to Summit.    If I could only use 1 stand from now on it would be a Summit Goliath.

After killing 2 deer on Saturday I almost decided to take off Sunday but decided to go. About 730 a 4 point comes out the ridge to about 30 while I managed to drill the only branch around him with a 300gr XTP. He hung around like nothing happened till I got reloaded then wandered into the brush. About an hour later this six came down the same trail and gave me a shot at redemption. The three of us took 6 deer and saw around 40, was a great weekend to be in the woods. I got quite a few looks when I headed home from the lease. Had this bobcat under me for a few minutes, very cool, never been that close to a live one. My boy was on cloud nine, already requested deer meat tacos for supper one night this week.

#3 is down 6 point, I thought he was a little bigger rack when I shot but Im happy with him. We will eat well this winter. Looks like I will be shooting does from now on out, unless I see a big 'un.

The Savage smokeless claimed two more this morning. Shot the spike and drug it to the 4 wheeler trail. Propped up on the bank to rest and 3 does come walking down the 4 wheeler trail. Only 2 got to leave. Had to shoot both left handed, which was something Ive never practiced before.

The only ones Im really looking to add at this point are an AR10, probaly a M&P 10 or DPMS G2, and a upper end 1911.

I just bought my son a new model Seven 7mm-08 that was affected by the recall. I ordered a Timney instead of sending it in. I wish Remington would design an accu-trigger style trigger. I have 3 accu-trigger Savages, would be wonderful if Remington could make as good a trigger.
