Scott Tschirhart

Scott Tschirhart

Anything you suggest I do wile I’m there?

I don’t blame you a bit! These have been so hard to find for the past few years.

Scott Tschirhart

158 grain Federal red box soft point factory ammo.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve been shooting a Ruger SBH Bisley chambered in .454 quite a bit lately and the smaller chambers are certainly easier on my brass. Just a consistent observation.

Scott Tschirhart

Yesterday it was plentiful. I’m not exactly sure why I care as I don’t own a .22 Hornet, but I notice these things.

.480 Ruger ammo is plentiful as well.

But prices do not seem to be going anywhere.

Scott, here's my '59 Apache. 283 with 3 on the tree.
My Dad bought this before I was old enough to drive.

Absolutely gorgeous

Scott Tschirhart

That was a fun article Jim. Thank you.

I always thought that I did a lot of shooting….but nothing like that!!

Scott Tschirhart

My dad’s old Chevy Apache (I think a 1960 model) with three on the tree was what I learned to drive with.

I actually like the modern features……until they don’t work.

I want a foreign market Toyota Hi-Lux small diesel. But I apparently can’t have one.

Scott Tschirhart

I changed my own oil, my own transmission fluid, transfer case fluid and differential fluid in my Jeep. There’s not even a drain plug on the differentials in this truck. Everything is electronic. Including a system that shuts the engine off when you are at a stop light. When it works, it works fine....

Scott Tschirhart

This is how I feel.

Scott Tschirhart

I was a member for a while. They sent me so much stuff that I told them it was just too much trouble.

I think it’s a good idea to have some coverage but I’m not sure who does this right.

Scott Tschirhart

This is what got me to shooting lighter loads in my .45 Colt.

Hell I know about Little Egypt and Tempest Storm. You would think that everyone would know who Lauren Bacall was.

Scott Tschirhart

I took Kathy to lunch today.

Our server is Lauren and I asked if she was named after Lauren Bacall. She said that she didn’t know who that was. OUCH!!

Scott Tschirhart

My habit goes back to my Houston PD days. I had very corrosive sweat in those days (not so much these days). So I would shoot the course at our police range under the bridge on my last night on duty. 50 rounds through my Gold Cup of ammo they loaded on well used Star machines. When I got home, I wou...

Scott Tschirhart

Trooper,

That’s four different gunsmiths that have told you that this is a bad idea, including the one who did mine.

Probably best to abandon this project. Use the Henry for .327.

Scott Tschirhart

Very good!

Scott Tschirhart

A patch soaked with Hoppes No.9 goes down the bore and cylinder chambers. That patch is then used to wipe the carbon off the recoil plate and bolt face. Clean patches go through the bore and cylinder until clean. Then I soak a patch in Ballistal. I put the patch through the bore and cylinder and wip...

Scott Tschirhart

I’m not concerned in the least about this gun or shooting the hottest .327 ammo in it.

I’ve seen how this action takes smoking hot .357 and .44 Magnum without any difficulty and the.327 has a smaller head than those catridges.

Scott Tschirhart

Photos of mine.

Scott Tschirhart

The .44 Henry Flat was a general purpose cartridge for a lot of folks as it was what was available prior to 1873. It lasted for quite a while as some folks (probably most) simply didn’t have a lot of money.

Scott Tschirhart

I have a Marlin that has been converted and I paid about what you would pay for any other Marlin 94 these days.

Feeds .32 Long, .32 H&R Mag and.327 Federal interchangeably.

Scott Tschirhart

Looks like a nice gun and a great way to honor John Taffin.

If I didn’t already own the perfect packing pistol, I would snatch one up.

Scott Tschirhart

I like a brass bead and a Skinner rear sight. It’s very familiar to my eye and I use the bead for elevation at different distances. Typically, I use the tip of the bead at 25 yards and use more of the bead as the distance increases. I put the bead right on what I want to hit at 100 yards and it seem...

Scott Tschirhart

Seems like I always have some new dead cow coming from Simply Rugged.

Scott Tschirhart

That’s very nice!!!

Scott Tschirhart

I’m always on the lookout for the older Rossi rifles that had the huge saddle ring and no bolt mounted safety.

But in answer to your original question, shoot the heck out of it and sit and work the action during a good western like Winchester 73 or The Searchers.

Scott Tschirhart

I guess it’s always been this way.

I watched Vera Cruz the other night and that 92 Winchester that Burt Lancaster brought to Mexico had an enormous magazine capacity for a 20 inch carbine.

Later his Single Acton Arme shot 8 times without reloading!

Plus, when you kill the bad guys and get their pistol, why not pick his pockets for cash and matches.

Bob

Or an extra magazine, or all kinds of interesting things.

ALWAYS steal the cell phone! He won’t need it.

Scott Tschirhart

There are people who are very good shots. For example: A 40 yard shot is pretty much my limit with a sixgun, but Jim Taylor can stretch that out to 100 yards. Is either of us more or less “ethical”? By whose standards? That’s why hesitate to judge what another man does and apply my own concept of et...

He was arrested for it.

Seems like part of this has to be a test to see what the general population will tolerate.

Scott Tschirhart

Tombstone had a good scene where they were cleaning their guns AFTER the fight in the river. That makes sense to me as in that era they would have been using black powder.

But what I see in movies of a more contemporary style is a different kind of thing.

Scott Tschirhart

It’s a common scene for a team to be sitting around a table cleaning their guns before their mission. It’s also common to see them jack the slide on their pistols for no apparent reason. I’m not sure what message they are trying to convey, but I’ve been around professionals with guns my whole life a...

Scott Tschirhart

Boys, this has been a really tough year. I walked away from an equity partnership in a medium sized firm because of an ethical conflict that I couldn’t resolve. It was a test of my integrity and my courage. It cost me dearly. But this wonderful wife of mine stood by me and encouraged me. I can’t eve...

Oh it runs fine dirtier than that.

I did clean it this morning though.

When you put it that way, I agree either way you.

Scott Tschirhart

Merry Christmas!

Scott Tschirhart

I think I’m pretty good with a rifle. But I would not personally take a shot beyond 250 yards and I much prefer to be under 150 yards.

That being said, I’m not in the business of judging others who don’t share my self imposed limitations.

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice!

Mummy’s in Hondo, Texas. Not sure what that was next to it.

Scott Tschirhart

I’m really not so sure that different handles make that much difference.

I shot these groups this morning and I’ve gotten to where I shoot a 1911 or a single action about the same.

The .22 shooting is really paying off.

Scott Tschirhart

I like the idea of randomly walking about shooting also, if you can do so. I recall reading WDM bell who shot elephant with 6.5mm. What is less remarked is he used to shoot birds on the wing...also with his rifle. lots of practice, lots of rounds down range. I believe he said it takes about 10,000 ...

Scott Tschirhart

Well, I would love to get that mickey mouse safety off the top of mine, but it isn't worth it to me to pay shipping cost to get it done and I sure could not do it myself. Very simple to do. On my first Rossi I just removed it, ground off the safety part and filed the top down. From the article at h...

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve been told that the repair that is often employed involves replacing the barrel with a new one with the sight installed.

I suppose I could get lucky but it has been my experience that these guns do not always line up like they should.
