AH get together to meet and greet @Bob Nelson

Oops, meant Timney trigger. But then the experts on this site already knew what I meant
We just figured it was "spell check" Spell check doesn't know anything about gun/hunting related matters.
 
Hey Bob @Bob Nelson 35Whelen, what costume are you wearing to the Halloween party tonight? If you haven’t picked out one yet, maybe you could go as a bottle of Bundy or a tall tub of Vegemite? LOL
 
Winchester Model 70 416 Rem mag with Leupold 2-12 fire dot that Mark had upgraded with a Timken trigger, glass bedded and added a mercury recoil reducer. Shoots great!
@Katy Darren
It sure was pertty with nice wood.
Glad you came to your senses and got it.
Bob

@CoElkHunter
Last time we had children knock on our door for trick or treat the got scared silly. They asked me to take my mask off. When I told them I didn't have one on. They told me to go and put one one as it was to scary a sight.
Bob
 
@Bob Nelson 35Whelen & @BeeMaa - Bob it was great meeting you and fun shooting with you and BeeMaa yesterday…really enjoyed the afternoon !!
@HankBuck
Mate it was a pleasure to meet you and have fun missing clays.
When ever you want that BLR fixed I will give you the number for JES. Im sure they can remedy the minor problem you have.
If'n you get the chance try some 100gn round nose in that 243. They will open your eyes and kill rate will go up. Just saying they actually work well in the 243.
Bob
 
@BeeMaa and @ HankBuck had a wonderful time shooting clays. I had a wonderful time missing clays but it was great fun thank you gentlemen.
It was great to finally meet you both.
Bob
Did you miss Bob?

It’s nice to know that you are in the company of gentlemen. I hope it has a positive impact on you but I reckon I once heard a saying that you can take Bob out of Australia but you can’t take the Aussie out of Bob. Well something like that.

Maybe the Blaser shorty was out of you league and you’d have done better with an old SxS like we use in Oz.

I hope their beer is alright and they treat you well.

Bob, I haven’t hunted with that BLR .243 in 10 years and when I did - used 100gr Remington Corelok - good results on 5 whitetail, a bit of a mess on a NY Black Bear (4 hits - nothing touched a vital…so that was on ME). Past few years used Rem 760 pump in .30-06 Rem PSP Corelok 165 gr..and lately .45-70 w/325 gr Hornedy LeverEvolution. But if I ever decide to rebarrel the BLR into a more “manly” caliber - will ship it to Australia and You can “surprise me” with something Substantial.

@CBH Australia - Bob did better once he switched to my 20ga Caesar, shot it well enough that I had to keep an eye on him to make sure that gun didn’t end up in Australia !

Well, I won’t be surprised when he says .358winchester.
 
A photo after our brunch at Cracker Barrel in Kodak, TN then we headed over to the Bass Pro Shops across the road for Bob and Judy to look around.

Of course Bob instantly found the Shooting Range sign. Since the change machine was out of order Bob couldn’t test his skills. No quarters and No front sights on the laser rifles.

Wow!
Is @Bob Nelson 35Whelen softening to the .243 for use other than a tomato stake?
Or have I missed previous threads from Bob providing helpful information on using the .243 as an actual hunting rifle?

LOL
 
This is for Mr. Bob. My new .35 Whelen African under my .338 WM African!

I’m know Bob has been in the company of gentlemen these last few days but I’m not sure that is reason enough to bestow the title of “Mr Bob” on him. He may think his status has changed.

That little Caesar is in sweet little gun and pretty to go with it.
