Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters How did we ever....

If anyone has uber gloves that keep your fingers warm(without balling them up) when it's below zero...

And still allow you to easily squeeze the trigger...

I'm all ears.

Hats are easy, boots are fairly easy but frikken gloves are a pain in the ass!

Because after all these years we've finally figgered out they are really all we need. And they are damn fun!!

And what did we do before monogamous, er homogeneous, boolits?

Starved.

I guess technically lead balls were homogeneous...

I just wear light leather gloves and usually keep my hands alternating in my parka pockets ( containing hand warmers) while hunting bunnies and other COLD weather activities. Gloves or worse ,mittens are always to bulky if warm enough alone.

You have them on wrong.

I can't believe you fuggers expect me to be the Grand Poobah, A grammar and spelling Nazi AND proof-read my own posts!

Its a 'phase' Scott...I went thru it, and single shots....


And of course classic cartridges...


Now with older eyes and bones, pragmatism comes into play...stainless rubber guns with telescopic sights. I don't care if I scratch them, and it seems nothing gets out from in front of them alive. Most of the time my hunting is now focused on turning charismatic mega-fauna into biomass for my freezer...


In the most efficient way possible.

I'm pretty impressed you do as good as you do at your age.

Like this?

Getting touchy in your (much,very much) advanced age.

Give Ragwool a try, they were better when they were made in America, but of course that's not the case any longer, but they are still warm as hell!

I have a Steyr Mannlicher L full stock carbine in 308 Winchester. It's a delight to carry, but for several reasons it's the least group shooting oriented rifle I own. I topped it with a little 1.5-4x20 Leupold that has short turrets marked in .1 mil increments.

After zeroing it at 100 yards, adjusting the turret scales to zero, and firing a few confirmation shots I had four rounds left so I moved to 300 yards. I tacked up a folded over sheet from a canary pad as a target, went back to the firing line, put on 1.4 mils of up, and shot those last four rounds into a well centered group just a hair over moa.

Not bad for an "A-cup" scope.

Ingwe-
Assuming the blue tape was being used on the muzzle to keep crud out of the barrel, have you really seen it on a Bubbavision show? Has Cabela's ever run a special on blue tape?

A rifle with blue muzzle tape may signal that the taper-upper is a 24HrCampfire regular.

Nothing wrong with those A-cup scopes mathman. That is all I use around here in the brush!

Would 34mm tubes be termed cankles, regardless of cup size?

we don't have TV, what are you guys talking about?
