It was found in a bedding area to far off the road to think it was road kill . Maybe shot in the guts or rear end . Rib cage had no signs of firearms damage . No 22 marks in the skull & doubt a neck shot would go far . It was definitely last year's kill . I personally don't know anything's about...

Agreed but the area I'm hunting the man want coyotes removed more than the cats . Cats are a plus or the fee I get for the removal of the coyotes . It's only 92 acres but his goal is a spot to deer & turkey hunt .1 of the 2 are hurting his goal im pretty sure it the coyotes after finding this it...

Some days I hunt for about 4 to 6 hours & the sun is high & playing the wind put ya in some no shade areas . Whitetails are a lot more forgiving than a coyote . Whitetail will stand around & stomp a foot at ya coyote is instant exit stage left or right . Young dogs will make a couple mistakes...

Pic from the field over cast day so just imagine on a sunny day

If I was going to go through all of that I would paint it first. It's a rifle they make rifles every day . Like I stated before . I purchased it to hunt with, I don't have safe queens & have no use for a safe queen . But thank for the info on refinishing a stock . I did think about it for a...

For a Browning low wall or for a high wall ? & How much were they ,?

Nice ! Yes I have a ARD that I swap between different rifle scopes . Now I am thinking about painting it just to give most of the people on here a anal aneurysm ... I know I asked for opinions ... Na I was digging in my old hunting clothes & came across a weapon cover that came with my ghillie...

Thanks for all the input . I have only laid hands on 2 guns that were brighter than this 1 .a old bottom ejection Remington pump riot shotgun & the other a M1 carbine both was chrome or nickel plated not sure what they used back then . I'm gonna give a camo weapon cover a try just cut out for...

Thanks seems like a wrap of some sort maybe the ticket. It's literally a mirror finish . I would retire the rifle to a wall hanger if I can get a cat under its belt . Then only take it out when I feel like it. Seems like my Ruger is about to loose its 4K for awhile . Cause Missouri won't allow...

See you get it ... I purchased the rifle as a lite carry rifle for running & gunning .it shot well but had the occasional flyer . So I had it reamed to eliminate the flyers knowing that if I ever sold it the value would be decreased. & All the people saying the 3 foot mirror flashing on a hill...

At least a few people understand ! I've been camo painting stuff since the late 70's early 80's started with compound bows .

Best point yet

I agree on that . But I found the best way take a 450BM out deer hunting & a cat will jump on a log & scratch look back at ya twitch his lil tail & then just take his good ole time walking away ...like he knew he had 2 days before the season came in .

Yes but multiple holes at 1 squeeze of the trigger so 2 (3/16" hole) or 6 (1/8 to 3/16" holes) taking in account for spread .either way lotta stitching

Was hoping someone with experience with the Bee bullet would chime in ... I understand the hollow point concern but it only doubled in size the Hornady Hornet SP exploded like a ballistic tip varmint bullets . If people would look at all the post the 2 bullets in question the HSP has a very thin...

From all the comments I take it most of them are from people who don't predator hunt . No I will not be painting it . Plus I don't think most of you understand the the finish of this rifle . I own several blued firearms & nothing compares to this rifle . Even my Browning A bolt that's blued & wood .

To each his own . If I get old enough that I lose my rifle then it's time to stop hunting . Or if I got to hide it then I am doing something wrong & deserve to lose it cause the Warden is gonna find it & take it any how

Do you use a mirror when predator calling? You can see your reflection in the blueing on this rifle . Imagine a gun metal blue mirror & that is the finish on this 1885 & then add the gloss stock . A 2 1/2 foot blue mirror. Flashing stuff kinda warns critters that you're there .

The wood is what's getting the scratches. But think of it as carrying a 2 foot mirror when packing in or out . I run & gun. Go in before the sun's up & get back to the truck mid to late day .call move , call , move ,call ,move try to cover as much ground as possible. Some morning I cover about...

I'm gonna leave her blued & wood . But would love a set of Winchester furniture on it matte not gloss like the Browning
