    Giant ND moose taken today!

    That appears to be the XXXXL version of a ND moose. Wow.

    Ready for Action!

    Must be a LaCrosse player, though it figures the stereotype given it's named after a town in WI. I have 2 orange baseball caps. One for upland hunting a buddy gave me and the other for big game hunting that says "Winchester". I occasionally wear an orange vest, mostly because I like the vest...

    Scopes: Front Focal Plane or Second Focal Plane?

    I don't like the "paper-towel tube view" of FFP's @ low power. One only really needs to understand that w/SFP's subtensions are still there, it's just that the value had doubled or tripled. For instance, a 6.5-20 w/MLR reticle has 1/2 and 1 MIL hashes, but only @ 20x. @ 10x, those marks are...

    and.........

    I hold a similar view to Phil. An avid resident hunter will spend 3x-5x+ (some a lot more than that) than any NR can, and they'll do it quietly without a lot of pomp and circumstance.

    Scope base mounting ?

    There are short screws in the front base and longer screws in the rear. Call Leupold, tell them which one you need and they'll mail it out to you.

    What happened to the 16ga shotgun?

    Too much moisture under the bed and in the closet to matter much now. Just red lint and rust.

    2014 Kodiak Sitka Blacktail

    You should have a voice recorder to see how many people say (or whisper under their breath), "You mounted that itty-bitty thing?". You know, for giggles over beers later. The mount's gorgeous and will compliment the room well.

    What happened to the 16ga shotgun?

    Most cowboy action shooting requires that the shotgun has an exposed hammer. Given that, the '97 holds more shells than every twin-blower (SxS) and allows for far fewer reloads. That's why folks use the '97 in CAS, not because there's no disconnect.

    The learning channel. WTF

    You missed Airwolf, Knight Rider, Simon and Simon, and whatever show had Lee Van Cleef as a Ninja.

    What happened to the 16ga shotgun?

    Dunno. I've got '12's and '25's but I've never shot a '97 much less whatever was it's predecessor. I wouldn't have known '96 except that Grandpa had one that he'd won through some Standard Oil contest back in the 70's sometime. I've always kinda wanted it but I've shot it a few times and it's...

    What happened to the 16ga shotgun?

    Nope, you should have typed 1897 or '97.

    What happened to the 16ga shotgun?

    Twin-blowers don't care. Dad always explained that as an asset. I've a 20" Cyl choked '25 (non takedown '12) that I'm damned happy allows me to hold the trigger and pump. - - - Updated - - - Pard bestowed upon me a 5gal ice-cream pail 3/4 full of misc 16a ammo. Might have to drag the M12...

    Which electronics mounts on new boat.

    My 'Bird 898 came mounted on a Cisco and I like it. Previous Crestliner had LCX 26's on Johnny Ray's and every now and then in the waves the one @ the helm would pop out and hang by the cables. That never impressed me much.

    Chili, one of my many favorites

    The range I belong to has a "Chili Shoot" the Sunday after the Super Bowl every year. One gentleman brings a pot of chili that contains a fair amount of Cinnamon and I really look forward to it every year. I used to make chili quite a bit, but, I like Kidney beans and momma doesn't, that ended...

    What happened to the 16ga shotgun?

    Winchester '96 is a plain-jane version of the 101 O/U shotgun made in Japan in the 1970's and I'm pretty sure no 16's. If you're referring to the take-down pump with the exposed hammer that was a '97. - - - Updated - - - Any reason not to just shoot 2.5" shells and leave it original...

    Mossy, is there a little cream or milk in with the 'Sprouts to start with?

    12 or 20 gauge for pheasants?

    All I get is a steel eye-patch 6" removed from my dominant eye when I try to gun the humpty hump.

    Anyone fishing/cruising I-29 and Main this week??

    T'were my 1st thunk.

    12 or 20 gauge for pheasants?

    It doesn't balance or point well for me nor do I shoot it well. I don't like double triggers. It's choked F/M and in general I don't like anything more than IC. It's heavy compared to my Beretta and a 26" SKB 100 20ga I've got as well. FIL likes it so it sits @ his house. Someday when FIL...
