Thanks. The gun was built to my specs and I made the stock. Springfield 03 action, Shilen match SS barrel & Timney trigger. It is heavy, but it does shoot!

2016?

Stocking and transplanting are 2 different things IMO. Does Wyoming plant Chukar or Huns in areas they are not in now? My point is 30 or 40 years ago G & F depts. were looking for habitat that they could introduce species that would increase hunters and fisherman opportunities that were not...

My point was that they are not doing much if any transplanting today, just the opposite. If the todays philosophy was in effect back in the day, there are a lot of species of fish & game that would not be where they are today.

The thing that gets me is the change in philosophy by game & fish departments and biologists all across the country. Back in the 50's, 60's & 70's they were all about enhancing the wildlife and fish opportunities for the sportsman, They experimented with planting different kinds of upland game...

Lookin for a handout?

Every state's point system is different. Some are pretty straight forward, others are pretty complex. Basically in Colorado you can buy a point for a species or receive one if you apply and do not draw a tag for a species. There are variations like "weighted" points for certain species. My...

Shoots well too! It is a Prairie Dog eliminator.

Leupold on my Swift.

I have the 6.5-20x on my .220 AI Swift and it's awesome!

Welcome!

Well we are going back! Just booked our airline tickets and fishing trips. Staying a week with Catch-A-King Charters in SE Alaska at Craig on Prince of Wales Island.. Fish for 4 days. Going the first week of August, the Coho run should be full bore. Kings, Halibut & lings also. They have the...

I've hunted mule deer since I was 12 ( I'm 78 now, do the math!) and have learned a lot about their habits. I only killed a couple over 180" because early on I was only interested in filling the freezer. If I found a large buck, so be it, but I never let a smaller 3 or 4 point go. I firmly...

How is the winter up there? More like normal?

I also use APP in my ML. The powder charge for APP is the same as Goex. When I go to a big 2 or 3 day match, the cleaning sessions after the match are usually used as a social gathering. We sit around some communal tables cleaning our guns, drinking a few brewskis and BSing with everybody...

All "black powder" is not created equal. I've been shooting BP class in Cowboy Action for 15 years. I have used real BP and lots of substitute BP and have found that the certain subs are much easier to clean. For the last 10 years or so, I have only used APP as it is really easy to deal with...

My .220 AI Swift shoots 2" to 3" high the first shot after it is cleaned, always has. Just a habit I got into many years ago. I generally clean my hunting guns after the season and shoot a fouling shot before I sight in before my next shooting session.

A lot of rifles will not shoot the same zero when they are cleaned. Shooting a fouling shot returns them to your zero. All of mine get a fouling shot after cleaning, except my cowboy action guns.

I shoot cowboy action with BP at least once a month and practice some between matches. I shoot 4 guns (2 pistols, a lever action rifle & a double bbl shotgun) that have to be cleaned after EVERY shooting session. Gets to be habitual. I also do like JIm, clean everything that I don't use for...

I'm in the same situation as JimP.
