And a kind gift from a friend.

But after thinking about it, I gave it back. I don’t need to add more to my clutter.

And a few more

We are here again. Wearing the same old sixgun.

Thanks for visiting with us! We always enjoy meeting people who we only know from the forum.

I’m kind of amazed that he is even handling my revolver at this point.

As of this morning my Redhawk is ready except for bluing the front sight. I thought it might take a year to get it back.

Levergunners in Amarillo.

Scott Tschirhart

We stopped in Plainview for the night. Plan on meeting with a leverguns forum member in Amarillo and we will be in Raton this afternoon.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks, I’ll call them tomorrow.

My last visit to the St. James hotel with a rowdy crew.

I’m so sorry to hear this! So much history in that place.

Seems like everyone in the territories stayed there at one time or another.

Scott Tschirhart

Looking forward to good times with good friends and cooler weather.

Strapped on my old SAA and I have a .50 caliber ammo can full of shells. I’m well equipped.

I tried to post the video of this dog as I approached his prize. He is my wife’s dog, but he absolutely loves me and he was torn over whether he should growl at me. Great fun.

Scott Tschirhart

I have shot them in my Single Six as well as in the Ruger American rifle with no issues. They are hard enough to get that you could probably trade them for Magnums to someone who has a WRF. Unless you just want some lower power loads. Someone gave me a box of 250 or so of these and I don’t know of ...

Scott Tschirhart

Seems to fit the chambers perfectly.

Scott Tschirhart

I think that’s what happened here. Hogs have displaced the Javelina.

I’ve owned a couple of these rifles in.45-70 and they were no fun to shoot.

Unfortunately it was a quick trip. So I’m back in San Antonio and getting ready to hit the road to Raton.

Scott Tschirhart

Javelina are rough on dogs. My grandpa and his friends hunted coyotes at night with hounds. I loved listening to the music of the dogs voices and trying to identify them. One coyote would run through a group of javelinas and get them really stirred up and when the hounds got there it was not pretty....

This is one of my favorite things to do in my profession. Oral argument is a pure exploration of the law between three judges and talented (not counting me) lawyers over important and difficult issues.

Scott Tschirhart

I feel at home in this place. It’s the only place where I come every day. It’s also the only place that I have joined and posted under my real name.

Thank you for everyone who makes this work.

Scott Tschirhart

You know that I would load anything you wanted and I’d bring it along.

Oral argument tomorrow at the Fifth Circuit.

I always enjoy being here.

Scott Tschirhart

He looks serious! Definitely not willing to share the squirrel with me.

Scott Tschirhart

Y'all are making me antsy to get up north and take a gander at these rifles. Have yet to hear of an issue with any of them. Have wanted a 45 Colt rifle for a few decades now, looks like this will be one well worth having. Thanks for sharing your process with us. Send a couple downrange for me out a...

Scott Tschirhart

This is the only forum I hang out at. Some of my good friends are here and I haven’t seen the unpleasant behavior that I have seen elsewhere.

Scott Tschirhart

I think the spacing is right so that I can mount this rear sight where it is now or I can move it forward to the next set of holes if the front sight is not tall enough.

Scott Tschirhart

What a kind and appropriate send off. God bless.

Scott Tschirhart

Final adjustment before the Holiday.

If I have not said it, I’m really impressed with this rifle.

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t think Winchester was thinking about cost cutting. They probably wanted something lighter and handier for the low recoil smokeless cartridges they were developing.

Scott Tschirhart

My parts box produced a new Skinner sight to fit this rifle.

Men also weren’t as big as they are today. That might explain it better.

Scott Tschirhart

You could also attach a pigging string from your billet keeper and tie the slip it through the saddle ring. Then you could just pull the loose end to release the rifle and pull it free. You really don’t want to leave a leather thong hanging loose from the rifle if you need to use it. Might get it ca...

Scott Tschirhart

I also always used a leather thong attached to the saddle ring that I looped through the forward cinch ring.

I’ve seen it looped around a lariat or tie out rope as well. Usually with a slip knot. If you look close it may be done that way in this photo.

Very familiar!

Scott Tschirhart

That’s how I have always carried mine.

Scott Tschirhart

Here you ride with the butt up near the saddle horn. Otherwise the brush will strip it from the scabbard.

We have been in a terrible drought for several years here in Texas. But this week we have had almost four inches of rain. (Thank you Father!). I’m sitting out on the porch listening to the music of the rain coming down on this steel roof. My coffee is warm and my dog is on the alert. Hard to beat th...

Scott Tschirhart

It’s a great shooter. More comfortable with the .44 Special Skeeter load to be sure.

But even a 250 grain Keith over 22 grains of 2400 isn’t too brutal. At 18.5 grains it ought to be more better.

Scott Tschirhart

It’s funny that you don’t really see people using a saddle ring in the western movies. But I think they are extremely useful on a horse.

Scott Tschirhart

The only No.3s that I have owned were .45-70 and quite a handful.

Walt wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 7:10 pm Scott, how do you like your RCBS Summit press?

I don’t use it much but it’s really well constructed.

Scott Tschirhart

This is so nice. I’m loading rounds for the Holiday and I can’t remember having a better setup.

Scott Tschirhart

It just had to have a saddle ring!

Scott Tschirhart

It looks like a magazine spring only costs $10 or so for a Winchester 94. Might make sense to replace mine.

Scott Tschirhart

Might want to consider a BOG Pod Deathgrip tripod.

Palmetto State Armory has them on sale today at an incredible low price.
