Numrich gun parts, they specialize in older obsolete parts. Sarco gun parts is another place you might try.

Same here, this is as late as I’ve ever seen the majority hold onto their antlers.

It has been less than 15, guessing 10 or 12. All 3 of those he had are holy grail type rifles.

I remember reading some about Mr Porter, if I remember correctly he found serial number 1 and 2, they are listed for sale on GB for 1.75 million dollars. Little out of my reach. The rarest configuration I own is a super grade carbine in 22 hornet. Several pre war super grades and a couple post...

I should have stated every bolt action, you are correct. I agree with the, what grandpa would want statement, my guess is with him not shooting it and leaving the tags on it, that’s how he would want the rifle to stay.

Every centerfire I own is a variant of a Winchester 70. I may know just a little more than the average guy about them. Have a good day

Wow doubling down, I can most definitely tell if a gun is NIB or like new from several high definition photos vs a used firearm, very easy to tell once you know what to look for. One more time for possible penetration, he did not ask about shooting one round out of it, he asked about using the...

What would be the use of going outside and shooting it once in the ground? Again he asked about taking it out and USING it. Not shoot once to see if it works. Im thinking if Gramps wanted to own a used rifle he would have used it, not take care of it for years and years in that condition for the...

I’m quite familiar with Rule’s book, it’s only a virgin once. I’ll be happy to compare prices on used vs unfired pre 64 rifles. I’ll show you several examples if you like. The op was asking about taking it out an USING it, not firing one round, big difference.

If it’s truly unfired LEAVE IT THAT WAY. Go buy a new one and shoot the heck out of it if you want to shoot a 30-06. You will decrease the value by a lot if you start shooting an original unfired pre 64. It has survived at least 61 years in its current condition why destroy it now. You can buy...

You need to train your eyes to look for sheds, sounds simple but most of the time movement will catch your eye first. If you have access to a shed toss in a pile of bushes, then study looking at how the tines lay. Toss it tines up tines down facing towards you then away, so on and so on. Glass...

Why did Wyoming’s sell for so much less than everywhere else?

Everyone has to start somewhere, Labs are a good start, someday you’ll work your way up to pointing breed, JK. Benelli SBE are fantastic guns if you plan on running hots loads, on occasion you can find one to run a lighter oz load but most will not. Look at the M2, a 3 inch shell has plenty of...

What are you planning on doing with your new shotgun? You looking for a clays gun, a turkey gun? Walk all day behind pointing dogs?

Another vote for Shawn Ryan, he’s had some awesome guest speakers.

The US military stopped using corrosive primers by the early 50’s. Lots of Russian and Chinese stuff still being made that’s corrosive. It will junk a gun right now if you’re not careful in the clean up.

Also, they are loaded in en bloc clips, that what you load the M1 garand with, one of the few guns that use a clip and not a magazine. see if he still has the rifle, some of them are crazy expensive.

It’s 30-06 made in the St. Louis Army ammo plant, appears to be 1957. That’s, the case I have no idea if it has been reloaded or original factory loads.

Are you looking for a hunting cartridge or target shooting? 7mm PRC is plenty of horse power for anything in the lower 48. 7mm has considerably less recoil than the 300.

Prepare to sweat a lot in a blind on a water hole, or don’t get discouraged on lots and lots of unsuccessful stalks. Stick with it and it will eventually happen.

Wood and stainless rifles are awesome looking! I always liked those browning rifles. Congrats on your buck

They may have figured it out, but the Q rifles had quite a reputation for failure to extract. Seen quite a few of the Sig rifles and they have not had any problems that I’ve seen.

Be cautious on the savage, they are great rifles, very accurate, BUT the actions are very long. You will need to put a rail on it and for a smaller framed person it can be difficult to get the proper eye relief. Weatherby rifles are the same.

That’s not an original 94, someone spent a considerable amount on coin on fixing that up, look real hard for a work order, or a bill of sale. If someone like Doug Turnbull did the work it’s going to be valuable. From the serial number it looks to be a late 1920’s manufacture. Be cautious on...

If you have to think about shooting one, then don’t. I’ve not shot a buck in years, not because i couldn’t just because I’m looking for a true trophy class buck. i video them and consider that a “kill” if I wanted to take them I could. Tag a 150 you can’t tag a 180 later that year.

Awesome bull, congratulation. For you guys just starting to shoot iron sights, FOCUS ON THE FRONT SIGHT. It is impossible for your eyes to focus on more than one thing at a time. Your target, wether it is paper or an animal should always be fuzzy. Your brain will automatically center your sight...

who protects the horses? Are they under state control or federal control? Are these horses ones that the Indians left or ones that people get tired of feeding and housing and dump them off ?

Is that a old unertl scope?

Wow, an almost 10 year old post, the kids the original poster was talking about are all married with kids, the dads are now grandpa’s. And flat brims still look stupid.

You should check with the Cody museum and see if you can get a letter on that 1895, some of the info on those letters is amazing!

I just ordered a magview, supposed to get it Thursday. All the YouTube videos i watched it seemed that one was pretty simple to use.

Blasphemy, putting Remington thunder bolts through a Cooper. That’s like putting $99 dollar pep boy tires on a Ferrari. Appears that’s a case colored 57M. Beautiful rifle.

A few more. I may have an addiction

I’ll play, 90 percent of the time, yes.

Armageddon gear, top notch stuff.

Nice rifle, is appears to be a super grade model, 6.5?

As Pickett mentioned, if everything is correct on the rest, knock, arrow etc, you could have a miss matched limb set. It’s rare but I’ve seen it happen before, it can also be a stabilizer issue. Also don’t get too hung up on “tuning” shoot some groups and see how well you are doing at distance...

Another vote for crow killer, about liver eating Johnson, Alaska wolf man, about Frank Glaser, great book also.

Had my first one exactly one month ago today,after it’s all over you will literally think, that was way better than I was thinking it was going to be. you won’t remember a thing from the procedure. The worst thing about the whole thing, the “lube” leaking back out for the ride home.

WY nonresident arrived today in the mail. I’m in KY.
