Gun Porn Wednesday - the Classics edition
Classics Well I have a few of those, I was given a 1951 Savage Model 99EG in 300 Savage about 18 years ago, it still puts 3 into 1-1/8" and 5 into 2". I have a 1974 Winchester Model 94 in 30-30 Win and a 1980 Marlin Model 375 (336) in 375 Winchester. My pump gun is an early 70's Savage Model... -

Which single stage kit?
I have always had good luck with Lee (over 20 years with no problems), one of my buddies has used a Rock Chucker for at least 10 years. Just don't buy a "no name", I did that once. I sent it back the next day.- tahoe2

Gun Porn Wednesday
Happy New Year Haven't been here in a while, (computer issues) but I managed to save all my Gun Porn! Yay! Just a taste! :D I really like short, fast handling, woods carbines; :hump: Spanish 7mm mauser, Model 94 in 30-30 Win, and a Marlin in 375 Win -

Larger caliber rifle
Stock it! haven't been here in quite some time, (computer issues) but here goes. Realizing I'm late to the show, take a look at Boyd's Stocks "Prairie Hunter" , it directs recoil very well for me (6' & 200 lbs) in my 8mm Mauser which I hand load to 06 levels. :D I also have one on a Spanish... -

What's your favorite rifle?

antelope hunt
"mtlion" is right, the ears can be used for a quick judge process, if the prongs come off at the top of the ears or above he's a good one ! If the horns are taller than twice the ear height he's a good one ! If mass is as wide or wider than an ear he's a good one ! If he has all of the above... -

PETA drone plans discussed
If they are dumb enough to fly into a shooting zone, so be it. That was legitimate hunting on private property, they are trespassing. It sure seems like a great waste of time & money on their part, Why don't they look for poachers instead?:confused:- tahoe2

Custom vs. Manufacture Rifle
nice targets I had a Savage 110 in 270 (pre Accu-Trigger) that would do that @ 100 yards with any 150grn ammo I put through it. The 130's not so much, of course I was 25 years younger and could actually see 100 yards( LMAO). True some rifles will need some tinkering, but I have a couple that... -

Winter Project
idnative I haven't bedded either one, the walnut one (large ring), was free floated from the receiver ring forward, I'm getting 1-1/4" @ 100 yds with 180 grn Nosler Ballistic Tips (8x57 mauser). It also has a Timney trigger & Pentax scope. That's a 60+ yr old action & barrel, I have taken two... -

Winter Project

375 Winchester/ Odd Calibers?
Not the big "H&H" cannon (although nothing wrong with it), I was at the range a few days ago testing some hand-loads, when I noticed a few younger guys ( 20- something year old AR / M4 fans) checking me out. Nothing spectacular 2"-3" @ 100 with peep sights, but it launches a 200 grn FP @ 2400... -

Wild West Custom 7mm-08 ?
Savage 99 in 300 Savage This is my version, dated from 1951 and still puts three into 3/4" with 165 grn Grand Slams, five opens up to 1-1/2", I can live with it! :hump: I have used this in the rain and snow, no problems, just a thorough cleaning when done, nothing against synthetics (I even own... -
