Thank you!

I am also a Mainer with a 71. Anywhere close to Denmark??? If so we should get together for some shooting....

I use both sourdough and bead front sights. On beads I file the top and sides flat. Works the best for me....

Happy New Year to all!

A red dot and dry fire has taught me the most. I can see exactly how different ways I grip the pistol affect shots. Trigger finger placement has a big effect for me too. For me focusing my grip on the little and ring finger and pushing my trigger finger first knuckle far forward is the latest thing ...

Very much enjoyed thread. Thank you!

Some things that really helped me are Wim Hof guided breathing and the McGill big 3 exercises. Both on youtube. After adding these in to my excercise program I am pretty much pain free with full functionality.

Woodsloafer2

Doing kind of the same thing but still carry a rifle with rounds in the magazine and nothing in the chamber. Still hunt them hard via still hunting and tracking. When I see one I take the shot just like I would if there was a round in the chamber. Click but no bang. Get to hunt all season this way.

Love the sneaking to 52 yards. That must have so fun. Well done and thanks for the story an photos!

No better offhand practice rifle than the marlin 39!

Woodsloafer2

From Levergunner "I think you mean off bench, and not off hand, you won't be able to tell any difference in accuracy when shooting offhand between a 1" gun and a 2" gun. Unless you're one of the rare few that can hold better than 2" off hand. I cannot. I often plink with my Winch...

Have Winchester 94's, 95's and 71's. Two marlin 336's in 35 Rem. To shoot I use the Marlins mostly. They will shoot with bolt guns accuracy wise. The Winchesters are less accurate in my samples. They will shoot 2- 3 inch groups at 100. The Marlin 35's 1 - 1/2 inch groups. Also for me I can easily ad...

The 95 is 405 and the other is a international stocked Winchester 54 in 30-06. Sorry for the late reply. Been away a couple days.

Grouse, rifle, snow...awesome picture!

I firmly believe all things happen for reason. Hope this turns out to be a much better situation for you. Best wishes and karma will catch up to the person who made that awful statement to you.

Prayers and well wishes to John and family...thanks for the update Jim

Woodsloafer2

Very cool gun. Have never shot a tang sight like that but bet it works very well!

Woodsloafer2

Very cool and i bet it will be a great shooter!

Woodsloafer2

Good tip on covering the bags. I was shooting off the hood of truck over bags and walked down to check the target. Turned around to walk back to see the small flames of the bag on fire.

Woodsloafer2

We use cedar oil and garlic oil here in Maine where the mosquito is the state bird. I use it mostly to keep the ticks off. Cedar oil for the dog as they do not do well on garlic. Seems to work as good as anything.

Old Marlin 39 and a High Standard Trophy

Woodsloafer2

Shrapnel, that 76 is a very cool rifle!

Woodsloafer2

Somehow posted this earlier under the wrong thread...sorry for that!

I hunt mostly adventure in the western Maine mountains but also deer with one or the other of these 35 Rem Marlins.

When woodsloafing the most natural gun to carry for me is some form of 22 rifle. Would like to find a nice Winchester 61. A 22 mag would be nice too. Had a Remington 121 that was nice and an older Marlin 39 is my main 22 rifle. I think the 22 rifle is the most important rifle to maintain and improve...

Woodsloafer2

Lots of my favorites mentioned...I will through in Once Upon a Time in the West. The opening scene is one of the best ever....

Woodsloafer2

Odd man out here. I have an old 44 mag flattop that someone cut to 4 5/8. I like the Pachmayer grips and shoot much better with them than standard grips. Seeing the sights became an issue and I was not accurate enough to hunt with it. Really breaking tradition and it now has a red dot. A gun I reall...

You did a wonderful thing saving him....he in turn recognized it and did wonderful things for you. A type of bond that is very rare indeed. I believe we will see our lost family members again....both human and non-human who give us unconditional love......

Woodsloafer2

Enjoyed the article greatly...thank you!

Woodsloafer2

Thank you all for your input....greatly appreciated. A Remington 14 seems like a good idea in 25 Remington. I have been wanting a takedown that I can put in a pack out of sight until I get back into the mountains. A carbine would be good but I can cut a rifle down for a lot less than the carbines go...

Contemplating a new old rifle. A 25-20 in a Winchester 43 would be fun. Also like the Remington 25 in 25-20 or a 14 in 25 Remington. Have never had either or any 25-20 or 25 Remington. i have brass and dies for the 25 Remington but nothing for the 25-20. Anyone have any experience with these. I see ...

Woodsloafer2

Brings back memories ...thank you! I grew up just like this in Maine traveling the woods with my 22 rifle. Brooks, streams, swamps and bogs. Lots of huge tracts of land with thousands of acres to play in. At the time it was SD Warren paper company land but not logged for many years. A paradise for u...

Woodsloafer2

enjoyed it greatly....always have 2 or sometimes 3 when I am out woodsloafing or hunting....

Woodsloafer2

One thing I do more now than before is dry fire training. I take guns out for a walk and pick targets at various distances. Doing this with pistols with red dots has taught me lots about how I grip affects my holding and follow thru. Seeing what happens when the trigger breaks has made me a better s...

Ooop's typo on the HS-6. That should be 13.0 not 10.0....

Woodsloafer2

I have toned down my loads too. I am 64 next month and still hunting with handguns, In the 45 Bowen Redhawk 10.0 of HS-6 and a 250 xtp work nicely for me. It is a heavy gun and the grips spread the recoil nicely. The Bowen 41 mag I now use 210 xtp's instead of the 265 grain cast I used to use. While...

Great story! Love Hamilton Bowen's work. Years ago after reading his book I had min build me a 41 magnum. It was a duplicate of one in the book in the lightweight gun chapter. Built on a 357 frame with an extra long cylinder, 4 inch barrel, scalloped and his custom rear and front express sights. Als...

When I was very young i bought my Dad a 3 bladed Case for Christmas. He carried it every day for many years When he passed I took it over. Very worn and one broken blade but it is the one I want to carry. Work just fine....
