I hunted elk for 15 years with a bolt, 7mm mag.....until I got on this site. Now its a Marlin 45-70 and a Winchester 30-30.

She definitely wasn't undergunned !!!
Somehow I believe alcohol may be a factor - or just plain stupidity.

The Silverton Casino/Hotel is attached to a huge Bass Pro Shop. You can walk right into the casino from the store. They have a really nice fine gun collection, indoor archery range, as well as a large selection of firearms.

A buddy sent this to me: "We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States. On one side you have a gal who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, running against a lawyer who is married to a gal who is a lawyer. On the other side, you have a war...

I figure if it was Heston's, there would at least be a lever in there

Hopefully you can click on this site. It was sent around claiming to be Charlton Heston's gun vault but I believe that's been disproven. Still an impressive collection.
I had in in my email but I couldn't get the pictures to show up here. sorry.

Thanks for the great responses!! To be frank, I've hunted the same area for 15 years and only saw one black bear and he was puny. I know there are big guys out there but I'm usually packing out with my brother or a friend. I've been using my Model 29 in a cross draw. The shoulder rig won't work for ...

What would you recommend for a pistol while packin' elk quarters. I hunt in N/W Wyoming west of Jackson. I don't like carrying my rifle while packing the quarters. I used to carry my S&W Model 29 .44 in 6" barrel. I was thinking about a big bore single action. I suppose it's more "want...

Old Goat,

I saw a "new" revolver S&W put out. It's a .357 called the M&P TRR8. Basically it's a 8 shot .357 with a light rail and a rail for a small eotech or pistol scope. It has good reviews but I like my older S&W revolvers. Might make a good LE handgun. It carries as much as a Sig 22...

I don't think Irish Cop almost shot someone for playing cops and robbers or cowboys and indians. And yes, times have changed- alot. It is very common for gangs to use 9,10, 11 year old members to commit felonies and homicides. I had a 9 year old attempt to rob a 7-11 with a sawed off shotgun. He sai...

I sent it to Clements Custom Guns in VA on the advise of a forum member here. They cut it and recrowned it and added the extended mag tube and WWG lever. Turn around time was about 2-3 months. They were great to work with. I told him I needed it for my upcoming elk hunt and he made sure it was shipp...

Last year I towed my 5th wheel to the E. Sierra's about 6 times. This year I'll be lucky to do it twice with diesel prices. On another note, today I read where Chrysler/Dodge would guarantee $2.99 a gallon for three years with the purchase of certain vehicles including diesel trucks. I don't know wh...

Dixieboy, Here is my XLR in 45-70 that I had shortened to 20". Took a cow elk with it last year! Hope to get a bull this year.

Your post couldn't have come at a better time. I had to put down my Austrailian Shepherd this morning which was very difficult. We had her for 8 plus years. My youngest boy was devastated. He's had her since he was 4. I will print out the poem you posted and give it to him. Thank you.

jkbrea

HairyHook, Here's my XLR that I sent to Clements Custom Guns. They cut it to 20", crowned the barrel and replaced the lever. I added the XS sights and Leupold scout scope with the quick release. I have no complaints. Whatever you decide, good luck. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff76/jkbrea...

jkbrea

Malamute,
What town is your cabin near.

jkbrea

bhk, I have the quick release mounted on an XS rail with XS ghost ring sights. They work great for me and the scope is right back on zero when taken off and replaced. The scope is a Leupold scout scope, 2.5x.

Like kimwcook said, it's hard to stand by and not say anything. I too have been a LEO for about 22 years. I have seen some bad cops, but it's been rare. A small handful compared to the large number I have met and worked with. I am NOT making excuses for poor police work but I will say I have never s...

Kill it and grill it in one shot!

I've hunted elk for 15 years in Wyoming. My farthest shot was about 280 yards and another was about 200. All the rest were between 30-100 yards. That's why I switched from a 7mm Rem Mag to a Marlin 45-70. All my hunting is in the N/W area near Jackson and it's mostly heavily wooded. Like 86er said, ...

jkbrea

What I was taught was to load up the mags and then strip one or two off. The reason is if you do a magazine switch with the bolt closed and a round in the chamber, it is much harder to seat a full magazine because the spring is completely compressed and it's pushing against the bolt with no give. if...

I saw the 45-70 at Turner's in CA for over way over $700. Really surprised me. I paid about $200 less two years ago.

The article mentions the murder of two elderly hikers, I wonder what the outcome would have been had they been allowed to pack a gun while hiking. Maybe none, but at least they would have had a chance.

My friend is wanting to sell a Winchester Mod. 70 Featherweight 30-06. He bought it over 15 years ago and has fired maybe 10 rounds through it at a range. It's been sitting in a case and is in beautiful shape. No wear or scratches. Does anyone know what it's approximate worth would be. I saw some in...

LEO's can but the laws vary from state to state. Most can shoot a fleeing felon if he/she poses a serious and immediate threat to civilians. An example would be a murderer, rapist or violent armed suspect running towards an inhabited area where there is a liklehood of an innocent person being harmed...

Not to hijack your thread, but since you were talking about prices, I just got a box of old ammo turned in at work. It's a box of Remington 38 Special "Police Service Lead" 158 grain. The price tag on it reads, $4.34. I also got a box of "Western" 30-30 Silvertips. No price tag o...

Every year when I draw an elk tag, all I do every day is think about the hunt and look at pictures of past hunts. Hate the wait. Here are some pics of the areas I go to in Wyoming.(outside Jackson) Thought I'd share them with you all. I'm sorry if it came out too big. I tried to make them smaller bu...

jkbrea

I agree with Mr. Quinn. I have three levers without them but I really like the WWG on my Marlin. I don't like them on a straight stock but I kind of do like them on the pistol grip stock. I don't like the big loop and they do seem impractical. But the WWG is not that large and I do hunt with gloves ...

JMiller, A bull elk. It seems I only draw a general (any elk) tag about every 4-5 years. Cow tags are easy to get. Nothing wrong with a cow. Usually better eating. I would just like to get one nice 6x6 bull. Travis, I know what you mean about the cardio. I usually get there a couple days prior to ge...

I checked on line and found I drew a bull tag for Wyoming.

Now to start getting in shape.

I have a Leupold scout scope on my lever and it works great. At work I have a Leupold Mark 4 CQT. It's made for AR's but I believe it would hold up to a big bore. Problem is it's price - about $600. It magnifies up to 3x and has a circle/dot reticle that can illuminate to various brightness. Good lu...

Cocked & Locked, You're correct on the tent. I got it from Cabelas about 8 years ago because of the height, (9' center). It's nice to be able to stand up to get dressed rather than go outside at 5am! And one of those small buddy heaters heats it up in a few minutes.

Wes, I don't reload yet although I want to start someday. I've never had a 45-70 before so I don't have another to compare with but I've been amazed at the accuracy of this rifle. I had it cut down for packing in dense brush and game trails plus the larger loop fits better when I wear gloves. The 24...

Not really much of a story. I only got to hunt for 20 minutes. We were walking to our usual spot and about 15 minutes from reaching it I saw this cow feeding about 100 yards up on the side of a hill. I got into a short argument with my brother whether I should shoot it or not. I really enjoy hunting...
