    I saw this one. but the guns are flat instead of upright. Upright is what I want, not flat.

    Pistol case - harbor freight

    If you don't mind, what did you pay for it? What brand is it? I looked on HF website and couldn't find that exact case.

    458 Socom

    I finally had to give up shooting the Quigley and the 1000 yard matches because my eyes just couldn't handle the sights.

    458 Socom

    I shot a Sharps in 45-70 with black powder in 1000 yard matches. In my experience, recoil is totally related to bullet weight, the heavier the bullet, then heavier the recoil.

    Where would you move to if you had your choice of any western State to live in?

    This post was started almost 3 years ago. I read all the posts again and they were really interesting and the ones I posted are still true today. BUT the big change here in sw Colorado is the price of property. I bought my property ( 6.3 acres) in 1994 for $50,000 including 5 shares of...

    Knives

    I love old knives. They are mostly high carbon steel and take and hold an edge really well. They do rust tho. I have a couple too as my uncle was a butcher too.

    Burger, breakfast sausage & brats.

    I used to use pork shoulder roast for fat and added meat. A buddy in Alaska told me about the bacon ends & pieces. We have a local smaller grocery store and the butcher ordered my a case of ends & pieces. 30# in 2# frozen packages. I paid $90.00 or $3.00/pound. You are right about the different...

    Knives

    I like at least 2 or 3 different blades for butchering. I have a big chefs knife that I use for cutting steaks and I use a smaller filet style to debone. The picture with this post has the knife I like for steaking and cutting up large chunks of meat. The picture was where I was cutting up...

    Ultimate sheep or backcountry rifle set up.

    I shoot deer with a Ruger M77, Leupold VXIII 4x14, in 25-06. I have shot it since 1970 when I bought it new, and have taken over 100 deer and probably 75 antelope with it. I have never hunted sheep, but wouldn't hesitate using it for them. I only shoot my own handloads with 117 gr Sierra BT...

    Long range rifle build advice

    Assuming you will be using it for elk and larger animals, .30 cal is great. I use a .300 Wby for elk & larger, 25-06 for everything smaller. I have taken probably 100 + deer and 75 or so antelope with the 25, I love it. My Weatherby is really great too.
