One of our Forum Members is having surgery at 8:30 Tuesday morning June 3. Please keep our fellow Levergunner, his surgical team, and his family in your prayers.

Heartfelt thanks.

But for sure, I'd use my Remington 700 in Triple Deuce (.222 Rem). Here's a 5-shot group at 100 yards:

Tight groups!

Very nice shooting, 7!!!

mod71alaska

I'd use any one of several Sako rifles from the 1960s. Then I'd call rjohns94 to do the shooting and collect that $1000 in 3 shots!

mod71alaska

Great news, Griff! Next time don't wait so long!!!!

Happy Birthday, Jay! I hope you're having a great day celebrating with your family.

My LGS in northern NH says this on his website, and told me the same in person the other day when I bought some ammo for a NYC friend, who can't either buy or have ammo sent to him I'm NYC! LGS: "We now have about 90% of our normal centerfire ammo back, but still can't get any .45LC or 22/250. ...

UPDATE: 5/11/14 My beautiful English Lab "Daily" isn't going to make it. The cancer she had surgery for in February suddenly is spreading fast. Yesterday my vet said she "probably has 2-3 months, but it could be 2-3 weeks." Today, Daily still is her happy and playful self. We wil...

Nice shooting! Beautiful fox and rifle! The Rem. 100 gr. Core-lokt PSP is my favorite round in my .243 Sako, too.

What variable Leupold scope does your rifle wear? What power do you use for 100 yds.?

Thanks for posting your range report and photos!

mod71alaska

Happy Birthday, Y2K! Good shooting!

Thanks for the help, Guys. Keep your photos and ideas coming. Some good ones already.
Thanks. Mod71

Welcome!

Re: your 1952 94 shoot it all summer and hunt with it in the fall. Then, if you decide to have it re-blued, send it to a quality shop over the winter.

Look forward to your pics.

Good hunting and good shooting! Congrats!

What state are you in, Brent?

mod71alaska

Easter Blessings, fellow Levergunners!

I'm glad you're all right. But I want to know about the fish you caught that bent your rod and put you in the bilge! Forget the broken seat...let's hear about the fish!

Oh yeah, for a boat seat check out Todd.

Safari or foxfire, but I don't know if Safari is available for your windows based PC. It's killer stable and very user friendly on an iMac, as is Foxfire.

Let's share the prices we're paying for FED/REM/Win bulk .22 LR at your LGSs and Walmarts around the country. Wonder if it varies much? Right now, seems $24.67 is the best price for Winchester bulk 555 ct. right here in southern NH. I haven't seen any 22 bulk in northern NH Walmarts, yet. I check ev...

Mr. Bickish isa fanatical bowhunter in Alaska, but brings along a rifle for protection from the big bears. He considered a .338 WinMag the minimum, and I believe replaced it with something larger. Stretch I want to clarify that there is a difference between a firearm for "bear protection"...

mod71alaska

Since you threw in the "large bear" definitely not a .270! Year to year in Alaskan hunter surveys the # 1 consensus choice for a single (moose/bear) rifle is a .338 Win Mag. I would recommend the Winchester Model 70 "Classic" or a Ruger 77, both with full length extractors for yo...

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences and opinions of Mueller or Vortex high power rifle scopes. PM me if you prefer.

I'll bet a box of ammo that the next direct assault on our ability to shoot and our enjoyment of shooting will be attempts this spring and summer to close down local shooting ranges. After the 2014 election I'll bet another box of ammo there will be renewed, aggressive attempts to regulate guns and ...

Very nice rifles. I esp. like the Texan cuz of the fluted comb and the smooth oiled stock.
