Ted, hope all goes exceptionally well. My granddaughter came out last Saturday at 8 pounds, 2 ounces, continuing a family tradition.
Darryl, you mean to say that Dale was stealing your nutrients?

Bill in Oregon

I have a copy of that one, too.

Bill in Oregon

What a wonderful project! Nice that those parts fell into the hands of one dedicated to the history of that rifle.

Bill in Oregon

I'm curious, too, Scott. The accuracy potential of this ungainly-looking cartridge surprises.
Then there is the Beowulf, which I have yet to fool with.
Jason, good to see that affordable Patriot performing so nicely.

Bill in Oregon

I am exhausted mistrusting everyone. Just saying. I'm really tired of it.

There are gifted rifle shots that come along from time to time. One thinks of Miss Oakley.

Mr. milboltnut with your 11 posts in four years, what have you done for this forum? I suggest an anger management class before a judge forces you to take one.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks fellers, as Pitchy used to say.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks Jeep. Robert Duvall's first role. He's still with us, at 94, bless his heart.

Elmer Bernstein's unforgettably innocent theme for "To Kill a Mockingbird." This is probably my favorite film, and the book by Harper Lee was as enchanting. And last night, my only child gave me a granddaughter named Harper, on a snowy night in Iowa. Boy am I blessed! https://www.youtube.c...

Wow! A deer at age 8! Congratulations.

Bill in Oregon

Heh, Earl, this is probably the third one over the past 25 years.

I found this animation interesting. I knew the man who took that famous photo of the Shaw exploding. Frank Cordeiro was a high school kid whose teacher had loaned him a camera for the weekend and he thought he'd wander down toward the base that Sunday morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6cz9gt...

I haven't seen it either. I'll make sure to fix that however, as I am an admirer of the late Alan Rickman.

I can just hear that sickening crunch ...

This is a virtually new Ruger American Predator, Gen 1, 22-inch threaded barrel, with fewer than 50 shots through her. It's in as-new shape, very accurate and loves 29 grains of Re17 under the 120-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip, as the target suggests. Asking $400 plus $25 shipped from a non-licensee to...

Need to find a new home for this Marlin Model 336A in .35 Remington. Metal is in very good shape -- 80 percent or better blue. a couple of freckles here and there and some minor bluing wear at the muzzle. Ballard-rifled bore is just excellent -- mirror crisp. The butt stock was cracked at some point...

Bill in Oregon

Wow. Lawrence shoulder holsters, made in Portland before Oregon went way blue. Wow. Memory lane.

Bill in Oregon

Some of the Italian sixguns have pretty good bones.

My dream hunt ... 8) Not to spoil the festive mood, but the American buffalo is divided into two subspecies: Bison bison bison, the American plains buffalo, and Bison bison athabascae, the Canadian wood bison. And if you have ever been to the Plains/Panhandle Museum up in Canyon, they have skulls of...

Chatted with a customer at Tractor Supply yesterday who had a young pointer pup with him. He got to talking about his training method — just letting the birds train the dog. He said the biggest mistake many dog owners make is talking to the dog while it is on a bird. That dog is using his eyes, his ...

Bill in Oregon

Holy cats, Shasta! That's a mold library you have there!
Walt, I've got to try the water-drop method. Never have. I usually just squirt isopropyl on a new aluminum mold, scrub with an old toothbrush and let it evaporate.

Bill in Oregon

Bryan, you continue to inspire.

Bill in Oregon

Hard for me to fathom. Out West we have more mulies and blacktails, and the fish and wildlife departments do all they can to maximize hunter-days afield with the bare minimum of harvest success to sustain enough interest to sell tags. It is an entirely foreign scenario.

Bill in Oregon

Walt, nothing but good things to say about Accurate Molds -- and the two or three Arsenals have been very nice as well.

I got religion on the .223 for deer after reading the posts in this thread and some of the links.

Our dear USPS is very, very ill. I want it to recover and heal.

Bill in Oregon

That's a milestone memory!

Bill in Oregon

Earl, I can't stop eating the peanuts I got from Whitley's Peanut Factory. With all the garbage-grade peanuts on the market such as Hampton Farms, I had forgotten what a pleasure it was to sit down with a bowl and make a mess!

Bill in Oregon

Walked around town this morning and were blessed to catch the last part of a Thanksgiving Mass. Off to Palomas, Chihuahua, for dinner. Wish us an uneventful border crossing.

Well done. The Rossi is a handsome rifle in that classic Marlin configuration.

Bill in Oregon

That's great Scott. I have one of Fermin's sights for a Ruger Blackhawk in .41 that I once owned. Have yet to shoot the new sixgun to see if it needs it.

There is heartbreak and great joy awaiting many of those who agree to DNA testing. No big surprises for me yet, through 23andMe. After V-E ,Day, the 97th Infantry was shipped stateside and then on to occupy Yokohama. Could have a half-sibling there, but Dad didn't seem like the type, so to speak. My...

She's a dream bird dog, Will! She has obviously outgrown those muddy puppy paws!

Got my monthly pamphlet a few days ago, glanced at it and tossed it. My interests are pretty narrow as well. Once you take the product-shilling and cheerleading pages out of an issue, there's mighty little beef left.

Bill in Oregon

An incident like that was the beginning of the end of a fellow newspaper editor's left leg below the knee. Took a while for infection and re-infection to prompt the amputation. Just a yearling blacktail near Jacksonville, Oregon, one sunny afternoon. Mark liked to blame the accident on his being dum...

I dip in there for a leisurely and in-depth discussion of topics that interest me. It's a wonderful archive of knowledge and wisdom.

Bill in Oregon

Nice work Veeman. Were you tempted to do the same with one of your 1876s?

Bill in Oregon

4t5: Hope that back surgery went well. I have had four of them and a whole bunch of useless injections. No darned fun.

Bill in Oregon

Jim, thank you for those lyrics. I had not read them before. The sad sweetness of the melody makes me think of the combatants on both sides growing older and looking back on the horror they went through and trying to make sense of it and find peace in their lives and hearts when PTSD hadn't been inv...

Bill in Oregon

Nice tone from your cigar box guitar, Ray. I made one once using steel strings, but can't play so gave it away.

Bill in Oregon

You'll make plenty of joyful noise with H-110, Jim.

Nice group.

Bill in Oregon

I have always been touched by Jay Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell," a recent melody that made the 19th century and the soulful spirit of "The Civil War" of Ken Burns come alive. I ran across this version featuring Jay's daughter Molly on the violin, but with a larger suite of instrumen...

Earl, we Oregon folk have to look out for each other!

Bill in Oregon

Simply outstanding. He really will remember this all his life.

How embarrassing for Ruger to produce a special run of carbines for one of America’s most illustrious shooter groups only to have overlooked a significant flaw in their manufacture. Someone at Ruger surely has a red face over this incident.
