Nooooooo I'm too old, tired, fat and lazy to get out there at -18 degrees! I was thinking this morning though, there will be hungry canids out that that would respond well to a call right now�.. I'd say the woofs and coyotes will respond very well in this balmy weather.. It was -40something this morning. It's warmed up to about -10 or so now. I tried one stand earlier(hence the Sako pic), but didn't see anything but a few deer.. I'll probably try again after a while.

FrankenMausers rock..... mtcurman; I trust this finds you well so far this year and your coyote calling has led to some shooting and hitting too. Way, way back when the local mountains were still pointy - maybe 2 decades I guess it must be now, I built this thing to shoot Okanagan coyotes. It's an old school wartime 98 with a Wolff Blitzschnell mainspring, Timney trigger, Ruger 77 follower and spring, somebodies after market safety, a reworked $20 stock from a S&W rifle and a No. 4 contour 26" Douglas Premium Air Gauged 1 in 14" twist chambered in .22-.250AI. I would heartily recommend not building a short AI on a 98 action - to anyone whether I liked them or not..... Anyway, it's old school alright, but a lot of coyotes died out in front of it over the years. All the best to you and yours mtcurman. Dwayne

I wanted to make my Mauser either a Swift or a .22-250 when I first got, but now that I have the Sako, I'm glad I left the Mauser 8x57.. I haven't been calling as much as usual, I've been trying to get some traps out, but the snow's awful deep and the coyotes are mainly hanging around the ranches, or running the rivers and roads.. I'll git 'em, one way or another.. Hope you and your's have a great 2014! Ben

Here's a dreadful cellphone picture of a new M70 Fwt 7x57 and an even newer (i.e., stiff!) Montana sling. I'll post a better one using a real camera next time. Just didn't want the thread to die. By the way, no fence posts in the Florida sand ridge piney woods, but if you'll take a look at that slash pine you'll see where the hogs have been using it as a rub.
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
