I knew him enough to shake hands with him, but I can’t say that we were close. Most folks don’t know about the tragedy that occurred forcing him out of the Border Patrol.

Re: Cowboy Assault Rifle

These days I’m leaning toward a .357 carbine over the .30-30 simply because I load .38 and.357 progressively and the power difference in full house .357 loads is not as much as you might think.

Re: Cowboy Assault Rifle

No issue with folks putting whatever they want on their levergun. But how do you put it in the saddle scabbard? This Skinner sight slides into and out of the scabbard easily without snagging and after I put a dab or thread locker on the adjustment screw’s it maintains zero.
