Those are great, Jay! Are you printing directly on the boxes, or are those labels?
I would love to have some 38-40 boxes like that. I have a good printer, just not the knowledge.

Today, I picked up this Winchester 92 to partner with my Colt SAA. Both 38 W.C.F. It's a decent old rifle without a single Bubba'd screw head, wood still proud of the metal, and a bore that looks like it did 100 years ago. The right side of the wrist, for some reason, wears 2 small brass tacks. I pr...

Am I missing something, or is this completely insane?

I have been using "imgBB". It works pretty good for a free image hosting site.

They are out there on the auction sites. I just bought one off Gunbroker, and am impatiently waiting for the United States Postal service to deliver it. They must still be transporting some packages on horseback because it's been 8 days and still isn't here from 5 states away.

TedH

That last one is spot on!

TedH

Sorry to hear this. He will be missed.

No, unfortunately he stepped on a rainbow back on the 12th of September. I sure do miss him.

Thanks, Blaine!

One of my favorites as well.

It certainly can be an issue. Look at the eye relief specs before you buy a scope. Of all my couple dozen scopes the longest eye relief is in my Leupold 1-4x20. I mounted it on my No.3 375 Winchester but still had to stretch to get a full field of view. Offset rings would have got it about right, bu...

TedH

That's a beauty.

TedH

Happy Birthday!

TedH

No I haven't seen any around there. They say they are further West now.

TedH

Ummm..... No hunting pic is complete without the gun in the photo as well!!!!!! I have yet to reload for the Grendel even though I have all the components. I will have it If I want to shoot bigger game since all my factory ammo is A-Max or SST. Haha, don't have a deer pic with the rifle, but here's...

TedH

Absolutely.

TedH

They are thick as whitetails down where we hunted them. If I lived down there I'd shoot them year round. I much prefer them over whitetail. They taste more like beef to me. Far less "gamey" than whitetail venison.

TedH

I am totally ignorant to these deer...are they considered pests? ....or invasive? The Axis deer are Native to India, and were brought to the Texas hill country in the early 30's as a game species. They have flourished in that rugged territory. Apparently able to thrive on cactus and rocks, because ...

I have to go down there from Missouri. I'm lucky that a friend of mine here has a buddy that owns some good Texas real estate and invites us down occasionally.

TedH

I've had good luck with Unique in those kinds of loads, but your Bullseye should work just as well.
I have the Ranch Dog mold he designed for the 35 Remington if you'd like to try some of those too I'll send you some.

TedH

I was recently invited by a buddy to take part in a trophy/population control hunt near Sonora, Texas, for free range Axis and Whitetail. 5 of us harvested 25 animals in 5 days. I was also allowed to harvest a nice Blackbuck. My little brother found a dandy Axis buck too. I was hunting with my 6.5 G...

TedH

I have heard wonderful things about the quality of Axis venison. Have looked into doe cull hunts in West Texas/the Hill Country just for meat. I just returned from such a hunt. 5 of us harvested 25 animals in 5 days. The freezer is full! I have video from my Sightmark Wraith digital scope I was hun...

TedH

They do make some excellent table fare. If I lived in Texas I could do without any other kind of red meat.

TedH

I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. They monitor gun forums, social media, etc. If you think it's bad now, it's much worse than you know.

TedH

That's a beauty, Bill! Great cartridge, too.

TedH

Classic rifle and classic cartridge, no surprise it makes meat.

TedH

🤣🤣🤣 Ted, Did you fire that baby up yet? Actually just did put a few rounds through it this afternoon. First few rounds were fired off a rest. It puts 5 rounds in a grapefruit at 20 yards, albeit about 6 inches below point of aim. When I get a better supply of brass I'll play with some different loa...

TedH

Sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.

TedH

Too long. The problem these days is there's no one to sit with around the fire.

TedH

Pick just about any name brand optical sight or scope on the market, and you can find a Chinese copy of it being sold for about 10% of the real deal. Some are hard to tell that they are fakes, some not so much. Buy from reputable retailers to be sure you're getting what you want.

I was just knocking over some steel with the old 357 Cowboy last weekend. One of my favorites.

Is that a Remington Core-Lokt?

I did scratch his brain before laying out the Benjamins!

Old Savage wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 6:03 am Nice, didn’t know you were into those old Colt’s. I certainly would not know what to look for.

Well, I don't really know what to look for either. I had some guidance, though. I just knew the price was at a point where I knew I wouldn't get hurt.

TedH

That's perfection! Great deer, congratulations!

TedH

It's been many years of wanting and waiting for the right deal to come along, but I'm finally the proud owner of a First Generation Colt SAA. This one is a 1902 built 38-40. While it shows a lifetime of use on the outside, mechanically, it is as tight as the day it left the Hartford factory. The bor...

If anyone has Sixguns contact info, would you mind asking him to check his PMs here.

Thanks

Do you say this one is bigger than the one in your avatar foto ?

If it is then double wow !

Yes, this buck has heavier bases and longer G2s. Will probably beat that buck in my avatar by 10 points or so.

No, it's a standard Leopold 1-4×20, VXII.

No, I did not get to weigh him, I do the processing myself. And we don't have check stations anymore, that's all done online now.

Ruger No.3 that I restocked.

The 2021 firearms deer season was very good to me. I harvested this bruiser on the afternoon of opening day, after passing several small bucks throughout the day. I was watching a couple does milling through the woods and could hear another deer coming before I could see him. I was ready when he sho...

I'm partial to a 180 gr hardcast WFN with a full load of LilGun. Mine run right at 1800 fps. Solid deer killer.

TedH

I live right near the Centralia battlefield, and visit the memorial on occasion. It's a eerie feeling when you relive the events that took place there in your mind.
