    Street Rods you own

    Growing up in southern California, I was into cars. I used to drag race at Lions Drag strip in Long Beach, won lots of trophies in stock & gas classes. My first real hot rod was a 56 Ford PU that I put a 57 Olds J2 engine in it. 3 carbs, cam and headers and everyday driver. I also did some boat...

    The Rabbit Hole of Guns & Cartridges...

    I started shooting big game rifles when I was 12 (I am 77 now). My Dad owned a gun shop and he and all of his friends reloaded. My first deer rifle was a military surplus 03 Springfield (30-06). Back in the early 50's you could by one for about 12 to 15 dollars from the NRA. Everyone sporterized...

    What Is Your Favorite All Around Caliber...And Why????

    Even tho it might be considered "overbore", with todays powders you should be able to get a lot more barrel life out of the gun. I shoot a .220 Ackley Improved Swift that a built about 10 years ago. I don't know for sure how many rounds have gone thru the barrel (Shilen Match SS), probably...

    Cabela's...is this the beginning of the end?

    Just got a new Fishing Catalog from Cabelas/BassPro. It has a large Bass Pro logo on the top half of the cover and a really small Cabelas lower on the cover. Won't be too long and the Cabelas name will disappear. Bet there is a plan on Johnnie's desk on how to rebadge all the Cabelas stores! LOL...
