I have had two, both in .56-50. Just not interested in any other chambering. They ran just dandy.

Bill in Oregon

Agree. If they could reduce that $7,000 price tag 90 percent, I would be interested.

Reminds me of these guys. I have a couple of their shirts.

I'd love to see a vintage baseball game sometime.
The last two MLB games I saw in person were in August of 1969, Giants against the Cubs, at Candlestick Park. Willie Mays hit home run 597 in the first game and 598 in the second. Even then, the hokey stadium organ was annoying.

Mercer and Mancini with their Oscars for this song, 1962. They won again the following year for "Days of Wine and Roses." When Mercer wrote "my huckleberry friend" into the lyric, he was referring to his childhood memory of the Back River in Savannah, where he picked huckleberrie...

I had never even heard of Oakwood, an historically Black Seventh-day Adventist college in Alabama. Talk about a choral program!

Hmmm. Disney's Pistol Pete always carried revolvers. I'll let one of y'all correct him ...

I never realized just how huge his hands were -- and I though Jack Weaver had big hands!

Another iconoclast! How many pints would we need to drink for you to explain cricket to me, John? Guinness, room temperature of course.

Bill in Oregon

Will, you iconoclast, you! :lol: I don't know how many games of whiffle ball we played in the street as kids, with chalk-marked bases and somebody yelling "CAR" every minute or two. Never been much of a racing fan, although I like to watch the horses run -- and I will watch the TT motorcyc...

It's funny, but it's not so much that I love baseball as it is loving the idea of loving baseball. I usually don't pay much attention until the Series starts, but the world seems a better place when spring training is underway. A half century ago, a Saturday was incomplete without having a Giants ga...

Sorry Ted. I miss my Bulldog.

I'll take a stall, and prefer my grain fermented and filtered, with a drop of rainwater ...

Bill in Oregon

What a wonderful space you guys have created!

Bill in Oregon

Sorry you had to suffer that disappointment Darryl, but I hope the restored and properly oiled CZ gives you some nice memories in the field. I've been daydreaming about the Bobwhites myself.

Bill in Oregon

This is simply excellent guidance. I will forward to my "progressive" friends.

The reproduction of this very interesting British .442 revolver from the 1850s by Arsa in Spain is slowly proceeding. Initial pricing of 1,000 € puts it out of my league, but I sure would love to see and handle one. More in this thread over at Britishmilitaria ... https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/bri...

Jim, hand me a sign. I'll march.

Ray, my father would start laughing just thinking about "Golf Without Tears." Huge Wodehouse fan.

Will, when I first knew my ex she had a retriever pup from a kennel involved in Gerald Ford's dog. That puppy chewed up the hot tub edges and cover then went to work on dismantling the heat pump wiring. How that boy survived is beyond me.

I have bought their grips several times over the years and have been quite pleased for the price. There was some sort of change in the company a while back with the result that for a long time their grip selection contracted mightily -- and most of those shown were "temporarily unavailable,&quo...

Ted, you are giving this beauty away!

One thing the Turks have access to is some very nice walnut.

I think the SAAMI pressure standard for .357 is 45,000. SAAMI for the 5.56 NATO is 58,000, but of course the aluminum AR receiver is built around a far different locking design. I'll be curious how the Huckleberries in aluminum hold up.

Bill in Oregon

That came out just dandy!

Bill in Oregon

Wow. What a legacy. A born teacher and obviously a very good man. Glad you had him in your life, Doc.

Bill in Oregon

Doc, one of the other customers in the shop at the time said he was tempted to buy it as a collector's item.

I'd like to handle a current production Rossi side by side with the new GForce Huckleberry steel version. The Huckleberry is just a bit lower in price. I ordered one maybe 30 years ago in .44-40 when Interarms of Virginia was importing the Rossi brand. The gunshop owner in Medford and I were astonis...

There is a nine-page thread of prayers for a critically ill little girl named Olivia over on the Texas Hunting Forum. She had been admitted in early January, and died in a Houston hospital yesterday afternoon. One of the fellas put up this image of what it is like to come home to the Christ. I find ...

Losing a dog is a very hard thing, but you can have a horse for half your life.

Walt, I share your hopes for Michelle's future.
I was thrilled to see my first Peabody Martini target rifle -- in .44-100 -- this afternoon at our club's gun show at the Rattlesnake Roundup.

Bill in Oregon

Excellent! Darn, that Rossi looks nice. What is it capable of when benched?

Bill in Oregon

Liking that hammer double, Jay.

I am working the ticket booth from 3 to 6 today at our Sweetwater show, and will stick my nose in the door and look around before I start my shift.
Guessing there were good hauls of rattlesnakes for the roundup, thanks to those temps in the 80s last week.

Scott, it sounds like they needed to hire Mike Venturino to coach them on shooting single shots. He worked with Tom Selleck on "Quigley Down Under."

I can handle Sharps rifles and revolvers fine. But I stay well hidden when seated on a horse, as it is just too hilarious a show.

I looked closely at the Abbott stimulator the pain doc in Alamogordo was pushing. I did a fair amount of online research. But combined with my neurosurgeon's advice based on what he had seen, and statistics such as these from what I consider reliable sources, I decided against one. I did not appreci...

Ray, I had one I got from Buffalo Arms some years ago in .44 Russian. Possibly the most pleasant sixgun I have owned -- and accurate to boot.

Blackhawk, I have seen those three words attributed to a great Texas hero, Deaf Smith.

Ray, surely there's a photo of your 99!
Grizz, I had an uncle who lived in Black Canyon City, but I never got off road in that country.

Bill in Oregon

Ji, you are moving along at a good clip in that short! Beautiful waters you are fishing there.

Bill in Oregon

Grizz, my grandparents started a ranch under the Mogollon Rim in the Tonto Basin near present Young before World War I. I visited once ten years ago, and it is very interesting country, with human history that goes back probably to the last Ice Age.

Saw that as well. A fire victim has already fired the first lawsuit against EXCEL. This is what started the deadly fire that destroyed Paradise, California.
Ultimately it will be the ratepayers on the hook.

You'll love this one. Not trying to sell it for the guy, but wow what a beauty!

Will, you have wonderfully long seasons. Back in Oregon pheasant season was just a couple of months long, starting in October.

Ji, I watched a segment of that classic. Imagine being lowered with your dory, lines, hooks and baits to spend the next 12 hours alone on a heaving sea handlining cod, and doing it again day after day. I confess to getting motion sickness at the drop of a hat all my life, so just that alone -- the s...

For an in-depth look at the Portuguese dory fishermen off the Grand Banks, it is hard to beat Alan Villiers' "Quest of the Schooner Argus," and of course there is Rudyard Kipling's classic "Captains Courageous." By the way, the 1937 movie of the same name with Spencer Tracy and L...

The big one, the Smokehouse Creek Fire was still at 1,076,638 and 15 percent contained, with cause under investigation per the Texas A&M Forest Service this morning.

Lovely, and what a sweet-looking pup, too. Did you just take these Scott? Are they already blooming down your way?
