![[Linked Image]](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/cole_smith/DSCN6102.jpg) This is one of my nicest. But the idiot I bought it from "touched up" the bedding and I can't get it apart. So until I figure out how to separate the stock from the action, its a fair weather rifle. Don't want to get it wet in the rain and snow and have it rust. Soak it in your freezer then give it a sharpish tap under the barrel...remove screws first. BSA recommended this to me also a while back but I've gotta find a freezer around that it will fit in. I wanted to put it out on the deck this winter while it was below zero but I forgot to. I've pounded it over the arm of the couch a coup,e dozen times and didnt get it to budge in the slightest. So,I guess we will see....

OK, we've seen the doe rifles. Now how about some buck rifles.
And it even rained all morning...and the wood stock didn't melt. ![[Linked Image]](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/pronghornmudhunt2010030.jpg)

Chinese pliers at work. Except they are blued, not stainless... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/IMG_15044.JPG)

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

That was a great day!
I might put in this year just for the helluva it. Still a rare sight to see one but it would be nice just to take a walk in the hills.
Apps due June 1?

SHRAPNEL, What IS that poor creature in your first photo? A muud covered cow elk is my first guess, but a guess is all it is. Looks bloody awful....
As always, love the rifles you post up here. You have great taste and a terrific collection. Yup, a mud covered elk that followed me some 7 miles of muddy terrain behind a 4 wheeler. Boy am inglad you answered that. I thoughtbmaybe you were shooting the neighbors sheep
The government plans these shootings by targeting kids from kindergarten that the government thinks they can control with drugs until the appropriate time--DerbyDude

I'm thinking Shrap just coined another Campfire phrase. Shooting a chinese pliered sucks.

This one is the only one I have a pic of at the moment. It's ALSO one of my FAV rifles. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l591/kleingunther/Elk%20%20%20HUNTING/Favorite%20Guns/photo-84.jpg) I fell in love with these stocks when Win brought them out in '81. I haven't had this rifle a long time but I bloodied it last season. We are getting RAIN so often now I can only wait till a sunny day to take a few more pics.
