Still waiting for my 2 children, in their early 40's, to get their heads out of their backsides. Don't think it's gonna happen. I see no interest in family history or the guns in either of them. Though they were both raised shooting and hunting with me, my brother and our Dad.
20 plus years...
I've sold a couple over the years and still miss them. But now it's to the point that thinning the herd should probably start and someday I will do just that. Been telling myself that for a couple of years now. :)
I shoot a 12 pound prairie dog rifle in 17 Fireball pushing 20 grain Nosler tipped bullets. Most of my shots are under 300 and I don't believe the wind bothers it much. Flight time is incredible. Maybe other 4k shooters can confirm this but I swear you can see the bullet impact before you hear...
I've got a 60 or 70 year old Savage Hornet that still shoots little groups. You're not gonna hurt your CZ's but reloading for them is sure the way to go. PPU does sell their brass and it's not too expensive. Powder Valley and Graf's both sell it when they can get it. I bought 6 or 8 bags of it...
Kinda the spookiest thing I've called in. I don't hear well so rely on sight so I sat down against the end of a fallen tree and had a great view left, right and out in front of me. An inch or 2 of fresh snow on the ground. Thought or felt like I heard something during the set but never saw a...
I don't remember how I stumbled in to Green Mountain barrels but I am always amazed by how well they shoot. So far I've used 5 Green Mountain barrel blanks. I have a 6th one laying here waiting for me to put it on the lathe now. Their prices and service are both amazing as well.
I just retired in August having only been on that job 21/2 years. Was the oldest one in the group. The rest were 20 to 40 years old. Holy crap they missed a lot of work. Hangovers, sick, didn't feel good, whatever excuse they could come up with. And they were nice people but REALLY? I didn't...
I'm gearing up to build a .221 because I can. I built a 17 Fireball and it's incredible on pasture poodles in MT. FPS per grain of powder is very efficient. Not a huge difference between .221 FB and 222. I shoot a custom 222 in MT also, spitting Speer TNT 50 at .13 - .15 cents per bullet and...
They are expensive but they have all gone up. Line of sight is your friend for distance and just in general. I want to see my call because I've had yotes tackle it. I've shot several either standing at or near the call especially at night. Me and a buddy were out yesterday morning and had a yote...
I've been happy with my Lucky Duck Revolt performance. Takes a lot of batteries but doesn't seem to eat them too fast. Running Energizer recharge batteries has saved me a small fortune and they will last several trips. The remote works well but the button size and layout is tough with gloves on...
