    Savage 110 build

    Thanks for all the advice folks.... So, no savage for me, at least not right now. The guy just fell off the face of well, facebook haha... I am betting he did not write down my phone number and got banned for posting the ad since he hasn't replied to any messages or even seen the messages I...

    Savage 110 build

    well, poo, haven't heard from him yet and it's nearly 7 pm, not going out this evening for it even if he hasn't changed his mind on the deal.... I hope it is just a case of having to work late and not a case of dodging my phone calls.

    Savage 110 build

    Not sure, supposed to pick it up today, still haven't heard from the fella. I was curious about that internal mag feeding and what would be required to make it jive with some other round. I'm a skilled mechanic and somewhat skilled fabricator, so I'm not too worried about figuring it out. I...

    new 243 ruger american predator

    I hope I'm not out of line, but you should look into getting a new stock for it. I understand your intent with this gun to be a little "beater" truck gun, but..... I just put a boyd's on my RAR .223 and man oh man, it's a whole new rifle now. I was VERY dismayed with my rifle until I chucked...

    Savage 110 build

    Hey folks, it has been many moons since I have signed on here, so long in fact, I'm probably not even the same person I was the last time I signed on. Anyhow, my interests have changed a bit and while I am still a "hunter" (i use that term loosely since most of my hunting is just eradicating...

    first hand experience with Blazer ammunition...

    well, I must defend myself now... I carry a pistol on my farm for depredation permit use because it is the only option. I would like to see you run a weedeater, chainsaw, tractor, etc. with a rifle. These are varmints that literally eat my livelihood and do not feel bad for carrying a pistol...

    Caliber vs. meat yield

    I'm with frankenstein here... just don't shoot a high meat area. Neck shot or a vital shot, or if you are presented with a good enough chance, head shot. however, we all slip from time to time and if you shoot enough deer, you'll eventually make a bad shot whether its operator error or a...

    first hand experience with Blazer ammunition...

    good to know, I'm new to the world of pigs haha... I was thoroughly unimpressed with the damage inflicted from these rounds though and that's what I was mainly stating. Shocked that they didn't come out the other side of the head, and even more shocked at the minimal amount of damage inside...

    How much gets thrown away?

    you are correct sir, we are taking that animal's life and we should respect it by using as much of the meat as possible. All those little bits are great for grinding, however using a hand grinder is RIDICULOUS... I own one, more of a prepper supply than a real usable thing though. My electric...

    first hand experience with Blazer ammunition...

    I was given a 150 pound pig this week, pretty good gift as the meat will be a nice addition to the freezer this winter. It was a large vietnamese potbelly pig, not sure if that matters... He looked just like a wild boar, tusks and all. ok, on to the ammo statement. I have some blazer brass...

    processing a boar... need some expertise here please

    well, mr. piggy is on ice now, too worn out to butcher it the rest of the way this evening, besides I have a butcher coming to help me do the nitpicky stuff. He's quartered into hams and shoulders with an intact carcass all on ice, didn't remove the backstraps yet. Lessons learned...

    processing a boar... need some expertise here please

    haha, well, guess I'm gonna go skin porky today... it got put off, but I can't put it off any longer. we'll see how this goes... and regards to the protective equipment, some may call me a weenie, but I always wear exam gloves and whatever else I feel I need when I skin any critter...

    Regarding entering private land.

    I wonder how many people from the non-posted camp actually own land? whether it be deep woods or your back yard you should always be courteous and 1. ask the person why they are there and inform them that it is private land. 2. after they have been informed and possibly asked to leave, that's...

    Largest game taken with a .30-30?

    I don't think there is an animal alive, including a blue whale, that could take a fairly close shot to the brain with a non-expanding bullet... I would not be surprised if the inuit have done this from time to time.

    $1.3 Million

    I can't believe I am sullying myself by belonging to a forum where ownership of this fine piece isn't mandatory. I suppose slumming it up a bit with you cheeky fellows can be my bit of charity for the month. :rolleyes:

    What does your basic hunting EDC consist of?

    lately I just carry a gun, whichever one I deem appropriate at the time, and whatever I've got in my pockets, usually a spyderco folder and a leatherman along with a bic lighter and my cigs :-) can't go anywhere without those babies. I don't exactly "hunt" though, I just walk around the farm...

    processing a boar... need some expertise here please

    this bean looking gland you refer to being between the hams, are you talking in the same general area as the testicles or is it somewhere else?

    processing a boar... need some expertise here please

    haha, they don't have an issue with me shooting him onsite, and probably ok to butcher there as well, but I'd rather butcher here. I had thought about giving him a treat to occupy himself with while I do the deed. He's not too big to load after dead, so no worries there, I know the...

    processing a boar... need some expertise here please

    I would keep him around, but the trouble is if he sets foot on this farm alive, the better half will turn him into a pet :uhoh: if he shows up here dead, no issue :D I'm mainly curious if I need to do anything "special" since it's a mature male pig as opposed to a deer, the farm he's...

    Lefty with a levergun...cartridge storage

    all the elastic and neoprene ones I have had were not worth having, I kept losing cartridges out of them. when I buy federal ammunition it comes with pretty decent plastic shell holders that hold 10 at a time without letting them jingle or jangle around. Not a perfect solution, but you can...
