His kind will not come this way again no time soon. God bless Union Pacific.

Worked for me more than once. And helped others more than a time or two.

Your worst fear is that one of them gives you a "White Elephant". Think of the term as applied to ancient Siam.

A Golf Story Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony...

What we need is Justice For America!

Yeah I know it's past my bedtime, but I've been waiting to see this. Congrats my friend.

He's right. Shooting something ALWAYS makes me feel better. Glad to see you're running on the surface Charlie. It's hard to keep a good man down.

Get well soon Charlie. Best wishes and prayers for your recovery.

The only cow in a small town in Northern Italy stopped giving milk. So the town folk found they could buy a cow in Sicily quite cheaply. So, they brought the cow over from Sicily. It was absolutely wonderful. it produced lots of milk every day and everyone was happy. They bought a bull to mate...

Multi-purpose. You can also use them to wipe down your .470s!

OK, not only a Dangerous Game situation, but in the event a poor Whitetail needs a second shot we owe it to him to deliver it as quickly as possible. It is our responsibility. My CRF experiences has been around various M98 Mausers, 1903A3 Springfields, one 1917 Eddystone, several FN Brownings...

The man presents a compelling argument. For a serious Bolt Action Rifle the M98 is still an ideal platform. From that comes the Pre-64 Win M70. Yes I know, I'm an addict when it comes to them. Sure one gun or another may need a little attention, but in good condition they're worth it. Just my...

No expert here, but have a lot of experience working up loads like you're doing. Both @tarbe & @Hogpatrol are correct in their comments. Just from the photo, I can see no signs of excess pressure. Case head expansion is a good first sign to watch for. However it can be misleading sometimes. Once...

The venerable .30/06 is the classic example of greatness. You know you're there when so many others start taking pot shots at you. Rifle cartridges are a lot like fishing lures, a new year needs a new selection of baits. Yet the old '06 is still here doing what it's always done. Confess that I...

"...I wonder if Mausers were designed that way for a reason?" Yes, reliability is the reason. Keep in mind these were designed for the Military and function is far more important than looks. That built in tolerance allows that rifle to be operated in unreal conditions. Funny that the next...

They will do that. Never saw one that didn't. Also never had one "jamb" up. Not to say it can't happen though.

Congrats to you both. Always worth while reads.

Thanks. I'll never be "all back" but what's left of me is good to be here. I'm operating under my own steam and am told I'm doing terrific. God's been good to me. I was glad to see you're still working on this one.

Quality takes time. No need to rush now and regret later.

Good plan. You can always take off a little, but you can't put it back on. You ought to have a nice rig when you finish. Wish I could hang in the shop with you. You could teach me a lot. Made a lot of machine drawings for the shop over the years, but the only tool I ever put a hand to was a new...

AH! If you're NOT fitting a new barrel, that small amount shouldn't be a problem. You should still be well covered for the case web. If you are fitting a new barrel you will need to pay attention to this dimension. You do not want the web exposed back there. I can't find anything but SAAMI...

Can't give you an answer right now. But it's going to have some variables to take into account: Cone Breach? Caliber? Belted or not? Glad you posted this one, I'm going to get to learn something from it.

HUMPH. I'd think they both would have the same dream.

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those...

MS your buddy must have thought highly of the friendship. Charlotte used to say: "A friend is someone that knows all about you and still likes you". You are fortunate to have had such a friend. He will be honored and remembered with every round you put down the barrel. And that's what he wanted...

In all probability the factory bedding won't need any work. The forward recoil lug pretty much insures that. Don't know if your rifle has it, but Winchester was even bedding the lug on the under side of the barrel on Alaskans. A really good idea. You may however, want to consider something I've...

You do know your way around a semi-auto.

Both will serve you well. Hopefully neither of you will ever have to put one to the test.

One driving factor was that most Military & Law Enforcement "ranking" officers do not carry full size side arms. The .32 ACP was considered small for the job so a short 9mm fit the bill perfectly. And yes, the PP & PPK were and still are excellent little weapons for these rounds.

If you can find a Leupold VX-II 3-9x33mm A/O, Rimfire EFR you will not regret it.

Good luck to you all heading off. No matter how soon or long.

Best of luck to you. Wish I were going with you.

Sorry I didn't even think of this one. @Hogpatrol is right. I've got a small fortune tied up in quite a few of these T-Handled units. They are worth the cost. Especially on very accurate Bench & Varmint Rifles.

Properly bedded, I can't see where it would have any adverse effects. Should be no different than simply removing and replacing the barreled action for a cleaning. Others here with more experience may have better advice to offer.

You did a good job. But then you don't need me to tell you that, it's evident all by itself.

You have a really nice looking stock there with a good job finishing it. Now's NOT the time to cause problems. I really cant guarantee this from personal experience, but it's said no finish will react or set up properly when applied over wax. Like you, I've used Tru-Oil numerous times over the...

This Lady has my vote. You hang in there Lisa. Good Hunting.

Where are we going? Why are we in this hand basket?

A man I never met and yet I still miss him.

I have the APO Televid 82 25x-50x and can tell you it is incredible!

Might want to start making plans to export some moose.

Welcome to AH Sir. WOW you do bring a lot to the forum. Look forward to your contributions.

I didn't know you can get used toilet paper in a roll.

Never met anyone that said: "Gee I miss the Dinosaurs". Doubt things would be much different if the snakes were all gone too.

This has gone off the rails. At this pace we'll get the attention of the Anti-Strippers and that will be followed by lawyers and a negative media blitz.

Congratulations. The 721 will probably prove to be a great find.

Like Royal, I never took more than 3 weeks and that was only four times. Enjoy your month hunting and spending time with "The Blonde".

Lots of wisdom there!

I've heard "The best things in life are free". Problem is this one would come riddled with hidden costs that wouldn't show up for some time after the event.
