We can have a peter shoot off too...what wins 1st to shoot or last?

Gordon I think you did a great job with the rifle shoot don't know that I'd change anything it seems great as is...except may not let Kingston enter next year

I stayed out of it to give the FNG a chance. Maybe next year I'll bring the Tikka with basic 3x9 scope and humiliate him.....

I was feeling benevolent this year, and besides, I couldn't see out of my "good" eye.....


Thats my story, and I'm sticking to it...

I believe the couldn't see out of the eye part

I think the Quemado Gathering had a rule that the one shot shootoff rifles had to be normal big game or varmint rifles.

Of course "normal" is subject to bribery, and the whims of judges

Could make it any rifle 10 lbs or under, including scope, to keep it objective.

There was also a "Safari Rifle Shoot" 3 fastest shots to a 6" circle at 50 yards, offhand, iron sights only. Must be a African caliber, I think .375 H&H was considered the minimum.

OK the FNG did hunt with the rifle he won the contest with.
I think, You hunt with that little 308 Brian? I think he did.
I liked the rules, we had 17 signed up for the contest I believe out of 25. Some didn't want to play.
Second place went to an used 30/06 using old ammo at $14.95 (used to be) walmart.
So any of us could of done the deed.
I personally don't want to get too involved with a hard shoot. No time for that and it rains. Still have the ranch in the floor board of my new Jeep.

Keep talking guys.

Next year I'm thinking about switching it up a bit.

Nice Brian .338-06 is one of my favorites!

I need to take better pictures and start a thread for this beauty. It's mint, amazing, considering Iver left us 30 years ago.

BTW Brian did you get the new pup yet?

The litter was born March 17th. 2 Males, 5 Females. I think I'm third in line, so it might be a female or wait for another litter. I'm not sure I won't take a female. :-)

I prefer females,always had males till my Cabela best dog ever and my Raven is a female and on her way to high standings

Gordon---I wouldn't change a thing on the rifle shoot.

Pistols------25 yards closest to the bull's eye. Iron/open sites, revolvers or pistols, single action or double action. Must be center fire cartridge. One shot.

Cool beans rifle Mister. Maybe a Mauser get together for next year.

I've been hanging on to an FN Imperial Grade 30-06 My father in-law purchased in 1961, my birth year. He must of had a cash infusion that year-I've got a Ruger Single Six 22Mag and a S&W mod 19 from the same year from him.

At some point someone talked him into a rechamber into a .300 Win Mag. He was a little guy in stature only and the .300 was to much of a good thing so he had it re-barreled by Chet Brown in 1979 back to 30-06. Chet added a Sako trigger and changed the scope mount from Buellers to Conetrols.

I met with Mark Brown last week to finish off what his father had started. It's going in a Brown Pounder with graphite and everything getting their teflon treatment.

Hopefully in about for months-with any luck before Antelope season I'll have her back.



Her she is as present a week and a half ago.

If anybody's interested in the stock or the scope-it's a Lyman All-American Permacenter and I have the original box and instructions please let me know.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. That one sure is pretty as is!

Great looking rifle, nice history, too

Is that a Savage? I haven't met one that doesn't shoot. Congratulations!

Dumbazz Ed will bring along a new toy. An old M610.

Love that burnt muzzle.

Yup, the new one.

That thing is cool. I'm hoping to have an opportunity to shoot it. hint
