Probably my '44 Izhevsk 91/30 PU cuz it hits stuff pretty darn good. Although I'll be taking my M39 to the range soon so I'll see what it can really do. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160829/4012ec9e8112e2b73bb6ddfa6429943c.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160829/c88fc0f186406abf43c007888ded...

JYD, you must have been reading some H.P. Lovecraft stories. However, it was a little eerie. I had this feeling something was behind me several times.

Sonny, I'll try not to get old, but fortunately it's not a mountainous land here. I only wish we had elk on this side of the country.

South Carolina 26 August 2016 6:00pm - 8:00pm Mixed deciduous forest, semi-clear Clear skies, 88 degrees, waning crescent moon, occasional light breeze from the south. 7:15pm: 3x deer were observed moving southbound approximately 50 yards east of primary stand (a common deer trail).

The first milsurp rifle I ever saw was the first rifle I ever owned, and was a gift. One day when I was at my Papa's house (papa means granddad here) at the age of 14 he said to me, "here I want to show you something" and presented me with this rifle. I was fascinated by it and he gave it ...

Just picked up a new lightweight rip stop shirt and pants in RealTree extra green for the warm foliage full spring and late summer/early fall hunting months for $35. What a deal. I hope they end up lasting a good few years. If not, then oh well I didn't invest too much.

Brake Weight is that your buffet spread? It sounds tasty. We have all you have minus the Big cats and wolves here in SC. Just the other day I was loading some sacks of concrete mix into my truck from a covered pallet in my yard. When I picked up the last bag from the bottom of the stack I encountere...

Well not really, not for two more weeks at least. Although I did kill 5 monsters today, 5 monster arachnids. Yesterday I went to service my trail cam out in the woods in my favorite hunting spot and was surprised to find my way blocked by an enormous web with a very large exotic looking spider. We s...

This was my fugliest gun up to a few hours ago. It just sold. I send it off to a new home tomorrow. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160711/9a7c0d9282529bc9db50cada6cf9ba22.png http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160711/50457a56650e15ae965fc9e5ae155742.png http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160711/a73...

Just have one:

(1897 Sestroryetsk receiver)

Given your record of, what I would consider exotic dining, I figured you might have dressed it and cooked it. :BBQ2: :chain: He cooked me the best venison backstrap dinner I have ever had when I went to Georgia a couple years ago. Although I didn't see any antlers around, he said it was fresh venis...

I have a Mosin rat hunting story.

What did that taste like?

Didn't eat it. I found it snoozing behind my laundry appliances so I skewered it with a Mosin spike and disposed of it. It really was the only practical way of getting to it without scaring it off.

I have a Marlin Model 60 Special Edition that my uncle found at the bottom of the Edisto River while scuba diving. I was able to clean it up and it still works. This was about 12-13 years ago.

Well dang. That was a tough evil looking beast. I wonder if the 54r would even be able to handle one that big.

Yeah, I almost grabbed my 1911A1 but said "naaah". I'll probably bring it next time....just in case.

Turkey season opened last Sunday, and my dad and I had been planning for the last couple of weeks to go turkey hunting today. I had been scouting the property and wasn't feeling too confident we'd have success with turkeys, but I was positive we'd see some wild hogs, so I planned to bring a backup g...

I recently sold a carry handle scope mount that was issued to me. (It's surprising the things they let you keep). I was issued a CCO red-dot for my M16. Made it top-heavy in my opinion. Sure was a lot of material for a red dot and no magnification. Good luck with your scope. May it bring joy to you ...

Still got the ones you gave me, Chuck. I hadn't thought about making copies for use. I think I'll try that.

You poor poor soul.
