Vortex customer service and lifetime, no questions asked, any owner warranty can't be beat. I bought an AR with a Vortex Crossfire mounted on it, figuring I'd have to throw it away and buy something else. Sure enough, the scope was broken. It had a loose inner tube. I called Vortex after...

They were holding partial shipments waiting for all items in the order to ship together, but after the speech and other nonsense they all decided to ship whatever they had in stock as a partial order so they don't get stuck with a bunch of illegal to sell inventory.

States rights? According to the provisions of the 10th Amendment, the county sheriff has the supreme authority for law enforcement in his county in all states. Municipal and federal LEOs derive their authority from him. Here is a letter several county sheriffs in Oregon have sent to Joe Biden...

A half dozen Oregon county sheriffs have sent the following letter to Vice-President Biden: Many people don't understand that under the 10th Amendment county sheriffs in every state are the supreme law enforcement authority in their counties. Municipal law enforcement and federal law...

I carry a stainless S&W M66-2, in .357 mag whenever I'm in the woods or on the ranch. The lions are thick around here. The habitat is perfect for them:

One shot, off-hand, standing shot at 100 yds. He and his twin brother were headed back to this canyon, where they bed down every day:

I don't go anywhere on the ranch around Maupin, OR without my Model 66 S&W .357. Since they stopped hound hunting for cougar here about 15 years ago the cougar population has doubled, and there's not enough range for all the cats. They have gotten to be a pretty common sight around the ranch...

I keep a double action S&W .357 Mag in an electronic safe where I can easily reach it in my headboard when I'm in bed. The combination is arranged so that I can open it in the dark, by feel, without looking. I can get a shot off within 4 seconds starting with the safe locked and in the dark...

Here's a pretty informative thread on the TJ's liner we used.

Oh, and the replacement stocks came 90% inletted from Treebone Carving in New Mexico. They're quarter sawn American walnut. George Peterson is also a pleasure to work with, and he has stock patterns for lever guns, highwalls, and even the oddball sporter rolling blocks.

This is a genuine #1 Remington rolling block sporter. Most people sort out a #1 from a #1-1/2 by measuring the thickness of the receiver. I was given the two thicknesses by some RRB experts (Roy Marcot among them) and found that my rifle fell between the two numbers. When I enquired further...

Jim Dubell at Delta Gun Shop in Colville, WA did the bulk of the work. He's a custom rifle maker who has done some amazing projects. He loves old rolling blocks. They can do barrels from scratch, rebore to larger caliber, or re-line an old barrel that has seen better days. Jim went over the...

I have a Remington rolling block No. 1 sporter that is chambered for .357 Mag. It probably develops some impressive pressures with cartridges containing fast burning pistol powder. The 28" barrel produces 1785 fps with standard .357 Mag pistol loads of 158 gr. hollow point. The gunsmith who...

It is a dream to shoot with .357 Mag or .38 Spc ammo. I chrono'd it at 1785 fps with .357 Mag ammo. The Marble's folding leaf rear sight makes it very accurate at longer ranges. Thanks for the compliments. I think great granddad would be proud.

I raise sheep. If my neighbors hear a shot in the night they mutter, "Coyote...", rollover and go back to sleep.
