No doubt that you guys cut a lot more wood than I do and you'll probably think this is another fancy gimmick but it works well and quickly for me. A flat file is built in to lower the depth gauges and there are two round files facing opposite directions so that you can cut the second set of teeth by...

Walt

Yep, there are even occasional moose in the northernmost parts of New Mexico.

Walt

Scott, I wish you success. Best of luck too.

Walt

I have an acquaintance who had a SAA that was verified to have belonged to famed NM cowboy/sheriff/magistrate Elfego Baca. The sale of that paid for a three week African safari for himself and his family.

Walt

Thanks, all. I hope to see him in a few days. I will relay all the congratulations to him. He's in a remote area well away from any cell signal but he texted me a few lines when the signal drifted in. He said it was a 350 yard shot, the elk didn't take even one step but dropped where he stood. The s...

Walt

I'm very sorry to hear that, Vall. I have watched years of your participation there and I know you've had some awfully good times as well as good friends there. I know you'll miss them all but maybe there's a chance your group will find another location to shoot. I wish you the best of luck.

Walt

This is the first video that came up when I clicked on You Tube just now. Super fine shooting, Vall!

Walt

Thanks, Guide89. Very nice, great hunt, great pictures!

Walt

I'm glad to see you're back in good old New Mexico, Bill. I wish you the best.

BTW, High Desert Hunter lives in the Las Cruces area.

Walt

I wait until I have 8 or 10 gallons of waste oil, then I take it to a repair shop down the road which has a waste oil heater. They're always happy to get it; they accumulate the oil throughout the warmer months in a 250 gallon storage vat and use it all winter.

Walt

That .300 Win Mag has a muzzle brake. I'll bet his ears are still ringing.

Walt

Levergunner, it's a 300 Win Mag he built on a m700 action firing 215gr Berger Hybrids on top of H1000 powder. That gun will lay them into an MOA all day long.

Walt

Nope, I certainly wouldn't advocate closing roads like that; I'll leave those to the youngsters. I'm way past that.

Walt

Our son, Victor; northern New Mexico elk today

Walt

I definitely agree with you, Six. I wouldn't take my truck out on a trail where damage was a probability rather than a possibility. Just stupid, in my opinion. I have watched videos and heard stories about Black Bear Pass in Colorado where people are sick to their stomachs, puking because they're so...

Walt

Thank you, Jim. Great to hear it.

Walt

My shooting partner bought a Henry Long Ranger in .243 a few years back. It never did shoot well despite our best efforts and he eventually sold it. That's saying a lot because he's a Henry aficionado, even has a Henry levergun in 410.

Walt

I have both and in sickness and in health I will never part with any of them.

Walt

Yep, synthetics creep more than petroleum based oils so older engines in particular tend to leak more. I read years ago that GM, wanting to determine whether to recommend synthetics for their products, ran side by side 50K mile tests between conventional oils and synthetics. Then they tore down thei...

Walt

You certainly had a special relationship with Wind and his sister.. What wonderful memories!

Walt

I don't shoot semi-autos often but my loudest groans are probably when I bend over to pick up my brass.

Walt

Beautiful pictures....thanks, Jay!

Walt

Looks a mite chilly.

Walt

What a collector's piece, Vall....very nice!

Walt

I have several red dots that I've tried on various guns. I took a Ruger MKIV Competition out last week and was shaking so much there was no way I could hit the gongs I set out. I give up..... I shot a Marlin Guide Gun with a red dot this morning and did very well with it. No more red dots on handgun...

Walt

Good eye, 4t5!

One is longer than the other because I didn't have an empty .375 case so I ran a .30-30 through the .375 sizer to make a dummy round.

Walt

Six, the saw is a Jonsered, made in Sweden. I've been very happy with it for the amount I use it. I have it on my quad to clear the logging roads and trails where I ride. The plateaus where I ride have a lot of old Indian ruins on them and sometimes the Indians cut down dozens of trees to block the ...

Walt

This is how I keep track of my chain saw.

Walt

In my experience, fixed sight Ruger single actions seldom need windage adjustment. I have a friend who has a handful of Uberti and Pietta single actions that definitely needed windage adjustments so I put them into a barrel vise and turned them slightly. A barrel vise from Midway came with wooden bl...

Walt

I don't believe I'll get rid of any of my guns although I've thought about it too. If I told the feds (or whoever) that I sold them, they'd probably be like, "Oh yeah, everybody says that" and start digging up my yard. The value of guns in the future is twofold. One is to protect you when ...

Walt

The hardest kicking long gun I ever fired was a friend's Mossberg 7 lb 12 ga turkey gun firing 3 1/2" magnum rounds. One shot did it for me....done.

Walt

I don't think there can be another explanation other than Marble's wants that sight to fit other lever actions as well as the model 92 or maybe the screw spacing is different on the Miroku than other model 92s.

Yes, that is a nice-looking setup.

Walt

I have two .375" bullet molds, an RCBS 37-250-FN which weighs 268 gr with my mix and an Accurate 38-265L which weighs 262 grains. I finally shot up a box of my reloads from several years ago and had to re-learn my loading technique. When I took my Winchester Big Bore out last week it didn't wan...

Walt

I really think most people are enslaved by their TVs and they believe every word they hear on the "news". "If you can't trust news anchors then who can you trust?" I don't own a TV and never will. When I have time to kill I reload or read a book.

Walt

Yeah, I'm surprised that in cities like Detroit and Philly they don't already have tail gunners on beer trucks.....it's coming.

Walt

Very nice, Jim....thanks!

Walt

Yep, I'm with you on that. I wouldn't believe them even if they told me they were lying.

Walt

When I'm feeling rambunctious I still shoot my .41 mags, .44 mags and 454 Casull but these days those bursts of foolishness are coming less frequently. Like you, when I want to enjoy my time shooting I always return to my good old .44 specials and .45 Colts.

Walt

I used to drive 2wd Toyota pickups for work and drove about 800 miles per week. I bought my next to last work truck new in 2000 and decided to try for 500K miles. I sold it in 2013 with 501K miles; original engine, trans, clutch, hoses and belts. It had no rust whatsoever but I'll admit it was prett...

Walt

Jim, is that a five-shooter? BTW, nice scrimshaw work!

Walt

Yeah, I can't imagine Mr Trump would allow Secret Service agents to run across the putting green while he's playing.

Walt

Yeah, I have a number of gas engines that need to be run or winterized; 2 motorcycles, 2 generators including a 13K watt electric start, 2 ATVs, some weed whackers, a snow blower and a pressure washer, chainsaw, etc. I'm going shooting first thing tomorrow. Taking a Smith 624, a Smith Mountain Gun i...

Walt

I used wheel weights exclusively for decades and used to just dump the weights into my furnace and then clean out the dross but I quit that when I must have gotten one or more zinc weights into the mix. The bullets I cast from that mix crumbled in many cases and were generally unusable. I wasted the...

Walt

The number one potion around here is a sip or two of a good tequila.

Walt

Johnny, it depends on the velocity you intend to shoot them. Softer bullets seal the bore better at low velocities but as the velocity increases the rifling strips lead from the bullets and it is deposited in the barrel. Higher velocities require harder bullets to avoid leading the barrel. There are...

Walt

My go-to powder for .357 also. However, H110/296 is still available, AA7, AA9, HS-6, CFE Pistol and Enforcer are all good choicees at the moment.

Walt

Time is getting short....good luck1

Walt

"Leever action"? He's never gonna be a cowboy...

Walt

A sure sign of recovery, Jay! Beer and marshmallows....what could be better?!
