    BLR for targets and deer?

    Joe my BAR has '04 Serial# and says made in Belgium assembled in Portugal on it, but my Jap A-bolts are all tack drivers including my A-bolt 22 with prettier stock then my Medallion. No it's never been to the woods either, but it will do 3/4" or tad less at 100 yards at the range.

    Anybody shoot my favorite caliber...the 257 Roberts?

    I have two in 257 Roberts and FN with Mauser action built in Belgium in '53 that has solid chrome vanadium steel barrel, glass bedded ebony tipped Cherry Wood Monty Carlo stock by the old Herter's company with Leupold 7.5 AO Varmint installed in '73 by me ($87 at the time) and Timney trigger...

    BLR for targets and deer?

    I've never owned or actually known a person with a Browning rifle from 22short up to 30 caliber center-fire rifles that were not tack drivers, be the take down guns, lever, bolt or semi-auto. My next Browning will be a BLR TD, but I'm told they didn't offer them this year. I hope it's not...

    Browning HP Capitan

    Well at 25 or 30 yards I have to aim about 10" low on the target, I will be at a place in country with 50 up to 200 yards.

    Browning HP Capitan

    I better restate something about the Capitan. I thing it looks strange with tanget rear sight, and you have to guess at sight picture if target 40 yards or less which is a PIA for me. But the gun is a natural pointer at close range of 15 feet or less just due to ergonomics I guess. I will...

    Browning HP Capitan

    mf-dif I'm in MO not IL or we might have swapped out. First HP I ever run across at a price I can't refuse and I end up not really liking it like my FNH DBc Officers model. This one is scary accurate and feels like it's part of my hand when shooting.

    Why I buy 1.5" Baer 1911's.

    I have a new Dan Wesson RZ10 that will do that at 50 yards, but for me to do it with the gun I'd need to be 30 to 40 years younger. :neener:

    Over 60 yrs old carry?

    Just 67 and I carry new model SS Colt DE 10mm, but have a Dan Wesson CBOB 10mm in the pipeline. I also carry a Sig 238 mouse gun (380) quite a bit, needless to say I like my 1911's and have since I shot the first one 50+ years ago.

    Will Buffalo Bore 340 gr +P+ Hurt my New Ruger Redhawk 44?

    I have never seen or heard of a cylinder blowing out on a DW an sometimes wonder if they are just built so so strong...or if we owners of DW's are more sensible with our Dan's. Over the last 40 years of my reloading and shooting I've seen S&W's with cylinders or barrels blown out, also Rugers...

    Will Buffalo Bore 340 gr +P+ Hurt my New Ruger Redhawk 44?

    I had a squib for first time in one of my DW 22 last spring and removed barrel at the range and took pistol cleaning rod and got it out. I put the barrel back on and trucked on shooting. Had one about a week later in my Mossberg 142A and pushed it out with cleaning rod, this time I tossed the...

    Will Buffalo Bore 340 gr +P+ Hurt my New Ruger Redhawk 44?

    I would think that the BB loads would be within max SAMII spec for 44 and if so yes. Remember these mfg's kind of watch pushing the limits for legal reasons. Or at least I would think so, but I am not sure as I don't buy factory ammo except for my 380 pocket gun and very little of that thanks to...
