A friend convinced me to give high power a try in the early 90's (I was around 33) and I was hooked. He was kind enough to loan me an extra M1A and some ammo to practice a little and shoot my first match. Afterwards, he told me unless I had barrels of money laying around I needed to start...
I got talked into highpower in the early 90's. The enabler, um, friend also "encouraged" me to start hand loading. It really has been a great hobby I didn't know I needed. Bought an RCBS Rockchucker kit and added to it through the years. I now load for 20+ rifle cartridges and maybe a dozen...
It's on my bucket list also. Unfortunately, the fall show falls on opening weekend of firearms deer season in MO. I'll be in the woods.Maybe in the spring.
My Dad bought me a Mossberg 283-TB .410 bolt action as a Christmas gift in 1973. I was 12. I literally could have filled the bed of our old International pickup with the squirrels I killed by the time I graduated from high school. We ate a lot of squirrel. And yes, I still have it. I carried it...
The wife gets American Hunter and I get the Rifleman, we're both lifers. I also get Guns and Ammo, Whitetails and a few other hunting mags. Mostly for my Optical shop for people to read while they're waiting.
When my oldest granddaughter was 5-6 years old she would save the brass shavings when I trimmed cases. She thought it looked like gold (today it is). She still has a Sierra box full of shavings, at 18.
I have a Hamilton Model 27 my Grandpa got by selling salve when he was around 7 years old (1914). Years later he owned a garage in the small town our family settled in. He kept a Savage-Stevens bolt action single shot .22 there for people to use if the needed something to shoot a hog or beef for...
I had RSO duty this morning. I had some time before anybody showed up so I put around 50 rounds through a 10-22. Also a magazine through one of the AR's. I brought along the model 99 in 250-3000 but only had a few rounds for it. Guess its time to assemble some more.
My wife and I filled out our ballots. Didn't vote for anyone that was an incumbent or nominated by the "nominating committee". One person was nominated by member petition. That person got our only vote. Read the resumes.
I don't have a photo right now (I'm at work), but my Model 70 Classic Laredo 7mm Rem. Mag. in an H&S precision stock. Closeout for $399. The distributor had 300 Win. Mag. also at the same price. Should have bought one of each. The rifle is heavy but with my hand loads it will shoot 1" groups at...
