    Alaska

    I can't get the pic large enough to see the base, but it looks like the Marlin 450 magnum. That or the old 45/70 loaded to Marlin acceptable pressures is hard to beat in close quarters. I forget the guys name that converts these to 50 Alaskan. I have a single shot falling block highwall, and...

    Alaska

    It's interesting that the new Peterson's hunting just got here two days ago with an article on the top ten practical cartridges for North America. It's interesting that he rules out the very popular 308 Winchester. Although he admits it's a great cartridge there are cartridges that can do a...

    Alaska

    I was thinking about the same things as 2400. I read a few years ago that the number one rifle carried by guides is a 338 Win Mag. You don't need that for deer, but while your hunting deer something may try put you on the menu. Make it stainless for Alaska.

    Leica 1600-B problems

    I like some Nikon things, but I have had three Nikon rangefinders and they do about 60% of what they advertise. On the 3215 yd range no I was hand holding it. Sitting in my vehicle with the window down shooting across part of the Pipestem reservoir at a friends farm house. Both the Swarovski...

    Leica 1600-B problems

    There are better rangefinders, but I am just comparing dollar to dollar value. So far I have ranged buildings to 3215, and I don't know if I was ranging a deer, or the trees around the deer, but I ranged 2243 yd. Either way I got the yardage and it's way beyond shooting at unless a person has...

    Leica 1600-B problems

    I have had a couple of Leica and no problems. Then I went to a Swarovski, and had a medium priced Nikon for a backup. When the Sig Sauer came out I dumped the Nikon and bought it for backup. It's hard to decide which will be my primary. The Swarovski optics are much better, but it doesn't...

    Owning multiple vehicles

    We had the same problem. In 2012 we bought a new Chev Diesel pickup, and a new Buick LaCross. We would like a fun 4X4, but didn't know if we could justify it. The pickup gets about 20K a year and the car about 18k a year. We thought about a Jeep, but I told my wife a Toyota FJ Cruiser with...

    tent stove

    I had a Riley in my 12X17 wall tent. I think a good size fire needs a five or six inch chimney. Maybe a three inch will do it, but if you burn pine in the mountains you will need to check the spark arrester nearly every day. If you camp right at your truck there was a nice cast iron stove...

    $50 at Cabelas

    I think there are some guys in turbans looking for old vests like that. They don't need to float.

    Glacier National Park

    Ditto. I think most of the lodges are closed after school starts. I have been there just after school started and I was nearly alone on the Sun road. Only a couple cars in the Logan pass parking lot.

    From my gunsmith

    I don't think he is driving as many nails as the media wants us to think. Chin up.

    From my gunsmith

    I should have read that other post a little closer. A couple of nights ago I heard lying Hillary say she didn't want to take our guns away. She may not be able to yet, but there is no doubt she would like to. Even if she doesn't win I am sick that someone like her can even run for office.

    Burris Eliminator legal in ND?

    My nephew shoots the Burris on a Remote 300 ultra and has never complained about it. Kurt those Creedmoor are magic. Mine spotted a buck sniffing a doe at 758 yd and killed him. You have to keep the scope covers on them or they will kill anything that moves within 1200 yd. :;:muahaha R e...

    Ammo for 9mm

    I'm close to Bed Wetter's idea, but since I live in the country I will choose a round that does go through walls. If the sucker tries to hide behind a wall I want to drill him anyway. Sooooooo I will go with something like the 135 gr Critical Duty. I like the old 147 gr Black Talon too. Ya...

    Do not call list

    All kinds of calls. For two years every day I get a call that says "is this Bobby Korugian" if this is Bobby Korugian please call XXXXX. Then about once a month it's a call that the IRS is going to sue me. Ya ya go ahead. Then it's the guy that says he is working for Microsoft and there is...

    Road Rage

    Sometimes the road rage works out perfect. We were going to Phoenix to visit our son and passing through Wyoming. A green Ford explorer was riding my tail. He would back off, then run up on my bumper. I noticed he had pushed me to near 80mph in a 65 mph zone and I immediately slowed down. I...

    What would you have done?

    Glad your alive. Give it a day. Call and report it. Tell them you waited a day to make sure you were reporting out of concern and not anger. By that time there may be nothing they can do, but they will believe you and be watching. Who knows who's life you may save.
