You REALLY get after it. Laughing................ Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

A couple of pictures of my youngest with a 45 year old rifle. There's something to be said for getting good with one rifle ... God Bless America!

Not really B, remember this is the Haybale and CROCKETT tales. Since you hail from the Milford I'll excuse your youth and in-experience when it comes to hoginating. I do get to shoot a lot, but don't have to shoot a lot if you follow my drift........ Jes' take some corn in a 5 gallon bucket. Pour in enough diesel to cover. Let soak for a day or two. When ya know you're a the right spot,spread it out in a line about 6" wide an 10' long. If'n yore up in a tree that don't work. Gotta be on the ground on a level. Can't use one of those puny A-Maxes. Gotta have somethin' with a little more "polenta". Anyway, with your corn in a strait line and with 10' foot of grub, they line up just like hogs at a trough (this is the Petting Zoo ya' know, where imagination and pretend abound) Jes' like ol' Davy, just one bullet. hardest part about it is totin' em all. heck, it can even be done at nite with a pig pipe but that's a tale for a different time.......

Just some cedar pickets (not posts) with some stands of barbed wire strung across a low water gap on the Dry Frio River. Gets washed away a couple times a year when there is a flash flood. Mainly keeps cows and honest folk honest. JAFO, GWB A Kill Artist. When I draw, I draw blood.

They had just opened it a couple hours before I crossed. Would have had to turn around and go back to Uvalde or head north and cut across on SH-337 at Leakey. Best, GWB PS: SH-337, one of the three twisted sisters. Hunted ranches north of Camp Wood and also north of Vanderpool on 187. Fine country. Prolly made this drive 100 times since 2001. Truck, car, and motorcycle. The scenery never ceases to amaze. Last edited by geedubya; 08/25/14. A Kill Artist. When I draw, I draw blood.

Still got the orig 2 stage mil trigger but got a little fancy an put the milled steel 03 bottom metal on it. Bedded by time with sweat and patience,picked up a slightly used Pachmayer pad for it which tuned my LOP just fine. Was drilled and tapped for high grade Weaver bases( the shiny ones) and has med height Weaver rings which hold a old B & L Balvar 8B 2.5 X 8 scope. Still has the original parkerized finish on all the metal which seems to hold up real well. Shoot ? hell yeah better'n most people can and everthing I point it at tends to get right dead damn quick. Now for ammo this will get most a you real trick shooters laughing for sure but I got a lot of GI brass just worked up some plinking loads for it with SL 43 brass and a mix of 165's with 4350 and CCI 200's. Going to get a little more serious in a week or to and use my LC 63 Match brass and some 180 gr Herters semi spitzer's for deer loads. Yep, retro works whether you all like it or not. Newest part of the outfit is Uncle Mike's sling swivel studs and swivels with slick 1" leather sling off'n a mid 70's 700 BDL. Have near to $225 dollars in the whole outfit. Sits in a padded case behind the frt seat in the Tacoma with 5 boxes a shells I keep ball handy as well as a box of LC AP. Rest is simple 150-165 gr loads with ordinary cup and core bullets. No I don't use it to shoot 1000yds I got a 30-338 for that but it isn't a simple hunting rifle like Rick mentioned up frt. Magnum Man
