I've had this 1977 R100S BMW for 32 years now and it's my 16th and best bike I've owned - it was the first 1000ccc Beemer, the first Beemer to do the 1/4 mile in under 13 seconds and top 120 MPH on the level (I ran out of courage at 110 but wasn't out of throttle). It was also the last Beemer withou...

Not from Winchester but, I started a thread on the "recreation" of the Winchester 94 30-30 - the Mosssberg 464 reported on in the current "Shooting Times". Mine was supposed to have come in last week but didn't make it. It has a 20" barrel, reported to look like and shoot li...

I used to take this dog (?dogess - "B" word not allowed) with me everywhere - even to the movies. She usually slept under my seat through the movie and we wwould leave together and no one ever noticed. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/kmastf/DOGS/BOOTSBOOTSJACK.jpg http://i2.photobucke...

OJ, What's "need" got to do with it? I'll bet 99.99% of us have everything we "need". I haven't seen one yet. There are way to few genuine gun stores around here and their rifle stock is mostly black guns. Joe That was what my wife asked also - about what "need" had to...

OJ

I looked one over and shoulder one at the local shop. Nice and light and points well. The sights are terrible, I'd add a ghost ring if they make one for it yet. The pics in Shooting Times look like you describe it and I would just plan on replacing the sights - probably with something like i have o...

OJ

Current issue of Shooting Times reviews Mossberg's reincarnation of what basically looks like the Winchester 94 30-30 with some "upgrades". Has anyone here seen one? Just when I thought I didn't have any need for another gun ! Fortunately, my 82nd birthday is coming up in August and my wif...

I agree - AJMD429 sounds like the kind of doctor we need more of. He describes primary care physicians leaving the practice which is very unfortunate - no other field of practice is as qualified to provide the good medical care across the board that the general practitioner does - no matter what the...

OJ

Maybe this pic of my BL22 with the Williams FPGR sight on it will be helpful. (I have subsequently leveled it). I like it very much but it did require a taller front sight - which is relatively easy to replace. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/kmastf/RIFLES/ABL222.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/a...

And the 30-06 is pretty much a ballistic twin to the 308.

Miroku was licensed to make 10,000 Winchester 95 rifles in 30-06 (3,000 in Hi Grade) in 1995 - That's how I got mine as a 25th anniversary gift from my wife three years ago - (OK, so I did locate it for her on GA - husbands gotta do all they can to help their wives). http://i2.photobucket.com/albums...

Thanks, guys - sounds like there are a number of us who are luky enough to have totally selfless wives - even though we may joke about women, our wives sacrifice thenselves always for the rest of us and take what's left for themselves.

Everyone makes fun if this issue but if men were honest they could not deny that women are the single most self-interested creatures God ever created.

Those are English Mastiffs right? As I recall the Brits used those during WWI to clear trenches. Yes, they are.

The BL-22 is NOT a knock-off of the 9422. Different actions and both are fine guns.

Those Browning high grades are stunning guns. Did it come D&T out of the box for a receiver sight or did you have to D&T it for the Williams? I had to have it D/T for the Williams 71 receiver sight and the gunsmith that did it was the same one who mounted the Williams 94/36 on my 94 (which ...

I'm sure they're all good - hard to find a 22 rimfire that isn't.
