    Old ? - buck vs. bird

    Bird shot would be a heck of a deterrent though. Not many people want to keep doing what they were doing when their chest gets turned into hamburger meat. As to the turkey loads, I would advise against that. I've always said that recoil is a non issue when the adrenaline is going, but this...

    German Chef Knives. Henckel made

    Globals are the mid to top level choice. Very good knives for the line, and very servicable for anyone. Anthony Bourdains choice, and he's a personal hero of mine. A lot of the chefs by me really like Mizuno knives. They are very nice as well. I love my Globals. For butchering, I plan on...

    ? on mossberg 835 choke. and steal shot.

    Large shot, including BB will pattern tighter in a given choke. Modified actually gives patterns that are near 'full' with the large shot sizes. So not only is it not safe, its not necessary to use the super tight chokes.

    remington model 11 F 12 ga made in 1911!

    Not to be critical....but theres those gun safety rules: always treat every gun as if its loaded, and always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. That second one would have saved you from a close call.... My view on safeties is the only one that works is between your ears. As to the...

    German Chef Knives. Henckel made

    Some Henckels are nice, others are cheap garbage. I personally have become more of a fan of Japenese knives and personally have started to use Global. Though my Forschner chef knife still goes on the hot line with me, where it gets banged around a lot. Thats a GREAT knife for the money!

    remington model 11 F 12 ga made in 1911!

    The safety in the trigger guard is the next handiest thing to a tang safety. What happened to that design? Beats the heck out of the safety on the trigger guard!

    Anyone wear steel-toed boots?

    Mmmm, raw fish is good, though! As to steel toes, I have 2 pairs, wear them on a very regular basis. I like my boots with steel toes...

    remington model 11 F 12 ga made in 1911!

    Where do you guys look up the serial numbers? I just bought a model 11 last may, would love to know how old it really is. Good gun, in pretty good shape. Its got that ugly poly choke on it, but its functional and its a nice gun for hunting, points naturally for me. And very well built. I'm...

    The Lyman Great Plains Hunter has a 1:32 barrel for conicals. That barrel is also available as an accessory barrel for Great Plains Rifle owners. As an FYI. Also, the max load recommended by Lyman for the Trade Rifle (which is what I shoot) is 100 grains of powder....

    Anyone have a Marlin 336?

    As to ammo not being cheap.... I can regularly find it for about 10 bucks a box on sale...thats about as cheap as centerfire ammo gets around here....

    Good choices for Primary Defensive Folders

    I carry a knife because its practical. If I want something a little more defensively minded in a folder, I have a CRKT Crawford folding Falcon that I carry. Its marketed as a tactical knife but also makes a good larger work knife. I also have the fixed version which is a small last ditcvh type...

    Anyone have a Marlin 336?

    My Dad has one (well, its a Glenfield, but same difference) and it will hit the bottom of a soda can at 100 yards pretty much every time. I'd like one of my own. I currentloy use (dont own, more of a long term borrow) its big brother, the 1895 in 45/70 and love that gun!

    use of shorter ammo, Biakal sxs .410 bore

    Loved my Baikal 20 gauge. Unfortunatly, it didnt fit me quite right and therefore I wasnt quite as effective with it as I was with other guns. It was the one I was willing to trade when I needed a muzzleloader. That said, I wouldnt hesitate to get another or reccomend them to someone. They are...

    use of shorter ammo, Biakal sxs .410 bore

    Never heard of shells shorter than the max chamber length being unsafe. My guess is that those warnings are the generic warning and referring to the 12 guage model...

    Mosin never get out of style even today

    I have 2. a 91/30 and an m38, both 1943 Izzy's. Good guns. My m38 has a mojo rear and will put all the rounds in the 7 ring at 50, semi rested, as fast as I can get them off aimed. Its a good gun and certainly does what I want it to, be a deer gun. I havent had the chance to shoot the 91/30...

    .35 Rem. Most hard hitting ammo available?

    You cant compare MV only. Ever. Not when debating the effectiveness of a round on game. So much more goes into play. Wow. Does it even pay? Yes, the .35 Rem is a great round. Maybe a bit less powerful than desired for really big critters, but certainly adequate for most situations, and more...
