It's legal here in MT, or it was a couple years ago anyway, I think it still is.

Prefer FtF, so if you're in N. Idaho or MT and have something like a Ruger Alaskan, or a S&W 629 in stainless with a barrel around 4" long or so, let me know. Thanks.

Nothing. All the guns sold for more than I thought they were worth, except maybe a .22 Colt Woodsman that went for $400, I wasn't sure if it was a collector gun or not. A S&W mod. 29-2 Nickel went for $600, I would have paid $550 for it because it had cylinder marks on it and a 6" barrel. I was...

Well, it sold for $4600 + 10% buyers fee, so 5K. I dropped out when I realized that I wasn't going to steal it. It was a shooters dream auction, thousands of bullets, huge boxes of primers, dies, tons of reloading stuff. There were some awesome deals and I wish I had looked over some of the...

So I am going to an auction this week, there are a couple of things there that I am thinking about bidding on, one of them is this: They're calling it a McMillan .50. It's got a NF NSX 5.5-22X56 on it. I don't know if McMillan made it, or it's just sitting in a McMillan stock. It will...

Hope to draw a Missouri River Breaks bull elk tag since I have a fair amount of bonus points. Also throwing my name in for bighorn sheep but with all the disease effecting the herds this year I don't know what kind of opportunities will be out there. The rest will be over the counter deer/elk...

Sweet rig

Bump for you, unfortunately after it's all said and done I owe the state of Idaho $10. Gubment always tryin' to keep the white man down.

Man I miss Mica Peak. I bet you can just toast that metal sheep cutout. I am going to step up to the edge shortly, glad to hear another favorable report on it.

I am pretty sure that everyone on this forum swore off Cooper arms, some even promised they were going to burn theirs or throw them away. It had something to do with Cooper donating money to Obama. I always got the impression that they are good guns, never owned one.

Quit tempting me by bumping this thing! Sweet rig. I can't believe no one has snapped it up.

If you can't see a .30 hole in the target through your scope at 100 yards I think you should try some different targets, or better optics.

I went on my first coyote specific mission today. Didn't see any, though I usually see many in this particular area. We called with a rabbit squeal and waited over some vast terrain. Moved spots four times. Couple of questions. How close it too close to be to the truck? We tried to get a...

I watched an episode of Future Weapons from season 2 that features the CheyTac 408 (thank you Roku- if you have netflix you have to get yourself a Roku). Anyway, they were making a 2K yd+ shot with the CheyTac and they were using what looked like a dedicated ballistics calculator/computer. It...

I shoot about 2 cases a year at ducks and geese. I don't think the benefits of heavi-steel justify the cost. I bought a case of it this year, only because I got it at Joe's in Spokane in the final days of their going out of business sale (for $7 a box!!). It pummels birds, but not much more so...
