Nice!

Hey Mule1 I have a twin to that encore. I don't see too many stainless/walnut stocks. Mine is full time muzzle loader now, I sold my only centerfire rifle barrel and fore end a while back.

Tom, tell Jack I said good job on the home run!

Way to go Jack. My grandsons basketball season starts this Saturday.

Mule1, I liket that front stuffer. Stainless/walnut looks great almost always. Congrats on the coyote.

Wisconsin DNR is adept at introducing animals. What is your address and how many wolves do you want? Does a ship date of February 15th work?

How many can ya round up?

I can send him a mated pair of Wisconsin's "kinder, gentler" wolves.



If he wants some real bad ass wolves, as shown below, he would have to contact fish and game in ID, MT or WY.

that first woof is pretty tame, i see he's a fenced in kind!
great job on the home run Tom, congrats to jr.

Thanks Stan and Dave when I bought the gun T/C only offered the SS in Black or Realtree synthetic stock and forend I made a commit about I wished I could get it with wood the store owner told his helper to get him a screwdriver and he swiped it off another muzzle loader . I later bought a blued 7mm08 T/C barrel but it never grouped like I wanted so this year I bought a 7mm08 Pro Hunter barrel which I used to "bang flop" the coyote. This barrel shoots much better that the standard contour barrel.

I also added the Redfield Accu Range 4x12 this year which seems to be a very good scope for the money and I like the made in USA part .

Thanks Tzone

Hey don't make the mistake of telling your son 20.00 a homer he might break ya !

Yeah I could trade you some bred female feral hogs!

I'm not doin that. I'd rather give him $20 for good grades...but they're required so no money for that either.

I'm adding another rifle to the deer hunting rifles I own.Several months ago I purchased a Stevens model 325 at a gun show.The model 325 is a light weight bolt action magazine fed in 30-30.This is the second one of these I have found this year after a four year search.And incidentally I bought both of them.The last one I bought was really pretty.Like new.Both of them are very very accurate but being a late 1940's manufacture they are not drilled and tapped for a scope.I did my research and found the mount I wanted,ordered it and when it arrived I took scope and the newest best condition rifle to my gunsmith to get it drilled and tapped.Having no receiver rear bridge,you are forced to use a side mount which also allows you to see the iron sights with the scope mounted.
I had a nice 3X9X40 Cabela's Redhead scope which I mounted and yesterday I went to the gun range.
A bolt action 30-30 allows you to use 30 caliber pointed bullets unlike a lever action in which you have to use flat point bullets.Add to that you have a great variety of bullet weights from which to choose.Heck I could load a 225 grain bullet if I wanted provided I do not exceed certain chamber pressures.
A friend of mine who has the same model rifle had given me the load info for some 110 grain bullets with which his son has already killed two very large bucks this year.This little bullet is really zipping along at about 2700FPS.I had already ordered some of the bullets and gotten them loaded.
It only took me about eight shots after bore sighting to get the scope zeroed the way I wanted it.I them proceeded to absolutely eat the very center out of the 8" shoot'n see target.I have had very few rifles in my life that shoot as consistent a point of impact as this rifle does.I'm very happy with the final results.
So now I have two bolt 30-30's.One has irons and one wears glasses.Both are really good shooters.

Looks like you found a winner Stan.

Is your deer season still open?

Great find Stan. MY ex-wife's uncle has one of those and it shoots lights out. He uses it for his still hunting rifle. He, like yours, if VERY accurate. I've been in camp when he's killed about 8-10 deer with it. None have been more than one shot. One in particular I can remember was an old beat up 7pt that was nearly #200 dressed weight.

Whoa,

Good to see you guys back at it !!

I was missin my daily read !

Paul.

That sounds pretty cool Stan! Can you put up some pics of them?

last weekend of black powder... last weekend of deer hunting all together really (since I don't bow hunt)
