One rifle that sticks in my mind was a 1911c 1894 Winchester that had been completely restored and completely engraved. Receiver..barrel.. the works by a master engraver... Coulda.. woulda..shoulda..

Since the question was what three rifles??, not calibers here's mine... Mod 700 Remington in 338 RUM, Mod 70 Winchester in 264 Win Mag, and Mod 700 Rem in 223 Rem. And I own all three...plus many others,,,

Ditto on the 264 win mag w/140 corelock. One shot...one kill..

Not familiar with Middle Thompson Lake so had to look it up. Never been west of K on 2 but being only a 45 minute drive away I'm sure it much the same. I'd move there in a heart beat if we wern't so entrenched in California...

Beautiful country, but Zortman's a little remote for me. My brother lives in Kalispell with a pop. of around 23.5K. and has a few more amenities.. There's a Home Depot and Montana Rifle. Even Whitefish would be agreeable to me. I used to rep Track Knives made there in another lifetime. And...

I would think that any ammo manufacturer that labels their ammo BR that it would be loaded with care and consistency. Price is the big factor in finding any on dealers shelves. I was lucky enough to pick up a lot of 6 boxes of Rem 6mmBR in an auction a couple of years ago. The whole lot went...

I can identify with several replies to this thread. Not much of a shooter or loader any longer, but boy do I have a few guns. Getting close to a 'hunded.. last count. My go-to hunting rifle I've had for over 50 years. A custom 264wm that was cobbled together by several 'friends' when I...

Been buying stuff out of auctions for years. I'm a collector and have a ton of ammo, but don't shoot much. I don't reload, but have a bunch of components and tools, and could if I ever ran out of the factory stuff... I also picked up a bunch of that Wise 25 year prepper food when I found it...

OK Here's my spin on this light weight sheep rifle... If you're really worried about the weight you'll be carrying on your sheep hunt, go on a diet. Loose 15-20 pounds and run laps... Preferably at high altitudes. Then your can carry anything you want.. It doesn't need to weight 5 pounds...

Yep I'm from the Sac area myself. Just a lot older... LOL Those first few days are a killer..

Nice buck. If you're from a lower elevation in California I gotta give you a lot of credit for back road hoofing it at those elevations. I'm guessing, but 8-10,000 feet. A group of us hunted the Douglas Pass area between Rangely and Grand Junction Co. back in another life time, and at 8,000+...

I use the Primos Trigger Stick bi-pod which will double as a walking stick... They also have a tripod that will work the same way... They also have different attachment plates for gun rests, cameras, etc. What I like about it is it's lite weight, packable, and adjusts to any terrain when...

Where 'bouts in Norcal. When I could still get around we hunted that area a lot back in the day... Nice buck BTW...

I have a ton of guns, but the one I always take with me is my 264WinMag. FN Supreme action, Hart barrel, Canjar Trigger, Leupold 3-9. Originally got the gun in a trade with my bro-in-law, for some fishing equipment, that he had won in a school drawing. Nothing special, but restocked with Koa...

I wish I had more 6mm's in my collection, but I already have 120 rounds of BR and only one rifle. I don't pull the trigger much any longer, otherwise I'd be talking to you. $80 bucks for 200 rounds seems like a heck of a deal during this ammo-demic. Anyway good luck on finding the rest a...
