Thanks

I'm heading out to the gunshow. It's a 75 mile trip each way. Hopefully it will be worth the ride. I give a short price and availability report later.

Is it the Lipseys Ruger Redhawk 45ACP/45LC model 5050 that you desire?

I'll take it. PM inbound.

Moi.

"Case Bowie Kodiak Hunter 6" Mirror Polished Fixed Blade (KODIAK STAG) Gift Box - 356"



Bowie, in modern parlance, refers to a general pattern of characteristics. The Kodiak is on the small side for the designation, but most recognize it as a Bowie in general type, to include The Knife Center.

Yep, for sure.

the magazine in his picture isn't worth $0.10 to anyone who's tried one.

Both scopes are sold.

Dang nice.

I believe most countries require a 375 or larger. I hope to hunt one in '26 and have a 416 Rigby sitting here waiting for some work

Almost forgot. My .45-70 makes me angry. Purchased a scope for it, but it had a tang sight already, so went to the range like that.

Plain ol' cast bullets.


Best I could do at 100 yds with black powder and an elbow rest. Where in heck is the famous one hole group to be found?

Could you elaborate on this sentence? I've never killed anything with the 129 LRX but my 270 really likes them. The 150 Partition is a good elk bullet for sure but the 129 shoots flatter.

I don't think he ever said that .

I did hear an nearly identical version from a conversation with a crusty old hunting guide up in N.W. Montana in the late 1980's.

His saying was . -"There ain't too much that can't be fixed with 180 grains from a 30-06 ".

That fellow pretty much thought anyone who hunted Elk with less was either a Queer or a Communist.

I did not agree with his logic on that , but he was not wrong about the 'O6.

He also liked his 180 grainers to be Nosler Partitions

I've owned more than few Talley LW and never saw arrows before.

As of last night, Russia has established complete control of Berdychi, Semonivka, Novokaninava and has cut Krasnohorivka in two.

Russia is pummeling supply roads, bridges, ammo dumps, warehouses and bases of foreign advisors.

The Ukrainians have concentrated a large force of Marines at Krynki (Kherson),S. Donetsk, fully equipped and NATO trained along the Dnipro which is now shallow enough to cross on foot and are planning a counter but the Russians see everything and will soon smash the concentration.

The Kiev regime is trying to get Europe to deny passport renewals of those Ukrainians who have fled the cauldron and force them to return, we'll see how that goes !

The globalist neocon Blinken failed to sway China to stop supporting Russia. Also, the German defense minister reported that Russia has now created a SURPLUS OF WEAPONS and are actually stockpiling! This from the Kyiv Independent.

The Russians are pummeling Kharkov and have amassed a large force on the border indicating a large scale offensive possible after their May 9 Victory Day celebrations.

No one knows where the Russian Summer offensive will happen. There are four or five possible axis of advance with sure to be diversions at some point.

MAGA!

Yet here you are as the one who brought this front and center.

We are predicting tornados for the next few days. One hit in Fredonia, Ks just 40 miles from us. We had a bad one here in 2000 and it made a wide path through our town. we do not have a basement either and I sleep fine. Spring is always a bad time for tornados.

If you have the need to buy a new home... will you:

A) Buy one built exclusively with Union employees?

B) Buy one built with regular craftsmen/tradesmen?

Jews comprised only a small portion of the Hebrew Tribes. Judah, Benjamin and half the Levites left the Tribes of Abraham, the Hebrews and formed the Southern Empire and they referred to themselves as Jews. The remaining Tribes of the Hebrews became the Northern Empire called Israel.

The Jews were taken over by Ancient Babylon and later the Tribes of Israel were taken over by the Assyrians and transported North East. Think, Aryan nations. After ages they worked their way to freedom and moved northward and over the Caucasus Mts and from there to the great western shore and compromised (?New) Iberia (Spain), Netherlands, Denmark (Mark of Dan), Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Great Britain (contraction of Great Birth Nation). They became the Lost Tribes of Israel. They were lost to modern history, not lost to GOD.

The veil is being lifted and will reveal the Great Deception. There are two Israel's. One who GOD referred to when HE said "All of Israel will be saved" and the other Israel built by the Balfore Accords and Rothschilds.

Who was GOD referring to all those hundreds of years that existed before the nation state of Israel? Who was HE referring to in Gen 12:3 800, 500, 300, 100 years ago when there was no Nation of Israel? He was referring to HIS Believers. We Believers are HIS ISRAEL.

Tenderloins, didja get the Tenderloins?

This!

I've been wanting a small stainless action like stick just spelled out for a while. I did snag 1 stainless mini grendel and it shoots well but I'm not sure the action itself is actually stainless it appears to be coated.

Someone needs to make a small body stainless mini action consistent enough for shouldered prefits. I'm thinking I'd like maybe a flat bottom with integral lug like a howa mini. A 3 lug 60 degree bolt similar to my cz 600 lux, the 2.5- 2.6" mag box room, compatible with rem 700 triggers, a flat ejection angle so you can mount a scope low and not bounce cases off the windage turrets. Stainless action body but a 1 piece 4140 dlc coated bolt. There were a few other ideas a few months back when some of us were posting about it.

It'd probably easier not to build the feed rails into the action but let them be part of the mag box so they could be tuned or have different mag boxes for different rounds. I need to get a Jefferson bdl box to see how he does it for the minis but I always miss them when he gets more made up.

I don't think it needs to have a bunch of extra cuts to lighten it to keep the cost down. There's a big cnc shop in Idaho Falls that does a lot of production for a bunch of different industries. They had several 4 and 5 axis machines all running making airsoft gun parts last time I was in there. I didn't count but there were at least 20 machines each the size of a small suv all cranking stuff out in just 1 of their rooms.

They said most of the cost is the prototype and set up costs but that once the design is dialed in if designed for efficient machining they could be cranked out fairly quickly and substantial cheaper than I might guess. They said over the last few years the precision and speed of their newer machines have increased dramatically.

Unfortunately whenever I mention the idea to anyone in the gun industry they don't think that such an action would sell. Legacy guys recently told me they only brought in a few stainless minis from their sister company this 1 time because there's no demand for stainless rifles in the US. They said they sell way more blued guns than they do stainless. I said maybe thats because you don't make any stainless ones. Defiance told me that they don't need a smaller action because the anti was already available and it's light enough. I told them it could be shorter with a shorter smaller footprint for a smaller round. The others like kelbly and zermat I've spoke with have basically said there's enough Remington clones already and the only real market is with the competition shooters who want sturdy actions etc etc.

I really think the time is right for a good stainless mini action especially with the 6mm and 22 arc out now. I guess we'll just have to wait long enough and pound the industry with requests for long enough that one morning one of them will finally wake up and go hey, I just had a great idea.

Dang John, that’s too bad! I would have wanted to go to the event myself had I known about it sooner. I would like to take a look at the camera…

Congrats on having what sounds like a smart and motivated grand daughter

Pretty incredible I think I’m the first to say that on this thread? I dunno, I started skimming pretty quick when people started saying she could skip college and make enough money to have a great life anyway

Despite all of its flaws, a degree from a school like Michigan or USC is going to be worth it for anyone who applies themselves and wants to go into a field with good earning potential. My sister in law is an architect and does quite well
