Speaking of the Hamburg store, I just found this thread on a another forum I frequent.

Bridger158

I looked at one in the gunshop the other day. You guys say what you want, but I thought it was pretty sweet, and I thought the 275 Rigby marking added some cool factor to it. And, I liked the fact that it had iron sights...those seem to be tought to come by on a bolt these days. Also, the one in the...

Is it just me or does the fore end look suspiciously like it is off of a model 12? I'm no Winchester expert, but that just doesn't look right and the seller didn't fess up to it either....

Bridger158

Thanks for the input, guys. If I were to ever make the move, western Oregon or Washington is where I would want to be, so it sounds like that may be best left a day dream. I know north Idaho does have some mills and logging activity, but it just doesn't quite have the appeal to me that the coastal r...

Bridger158

Does anybody here live in Oregon or Washington? I'm a forester by trade. So far I have worked at a couple of paper mills in the south and at times I think I would really enjoy a change of pace and finding a job with a mill in the PNW and moving out there. I'm single, so moving isn't really a hard th...

Bridger158

Well, after looking again at my finances I have decided walking by was the right thing for me to do. Unfortunately, I was hoping you guys would confirm my thoughts and make that easier for me. That did not, in fact, happen.

It looked very similar to this, except as I said it was in 40-82.

Bridger158

I passed up a Winchester 86 in 40-82 today. It was a straight grip, full octagon barrel and full length magazine. No finish left, but did have rust spots. No pitting, however. Wood was in good shape, and it does not appear to have been bubba'd in any way. The problem in my mind was that the barrel w...

Bridger158

I'd been looking periodically to see if they decided to bring back the 25-35 like they did in '06. They've offered the 38-55 for a while now. Thanks for the heads up, may have to get one. Say what you will, but that Winchester has one thing the Uberti never will.....a Winchester roll mark! Which to ...

Bridger158

Well, there's another chapter to this story lol I shot a magazine full through the 740. It functioned fine, but I was in a hurry and just wanted to check function so I don't know about it's accuracy. But on the way home yesterday, I saw a sign advertising a gun show was in town.....so I went today. ...

Bridger158

I traded the mossberg nearly straight accross for a Remington 740 30-06. A model which I know has it's own issues, but the frame rails appear to be in good shape, so we'll see when I get to shoot it. BUT, it does have open sights at least lol. And even if the rifle turns out to be a turd, it came wi...

Bridger158

Thank you for all the advice guys.....I knew yall would have an answer. Grizz, you make it sound so easy, but I just don't have the nerve to try lol. I think I am going to give the folks at Williams a call as was suggested. I'm hoping that at most I only have to either have a dovetail cut for the fr...

Bridger158

I've got a Mossberg ATR 30-06 that doesn't have iron sights on it, and I much prefer them over a scope. Has anybody ever had them added to a rifle? I'm assuming it should be a fairly easy/inexpensive task for a gunsmith, right?

Bridger158

I went in a local toy store today and spotted a big bore 94 in .375 that looked to be in pretty good shape overall, except that it had a side mount scope. It didn't appear to be an xtr. Tag said $699. I didn't handle it or anything, but if any of y'all are interested I'll get you the shop's contact ...

Bridger158

I'm glad you guys noticed the 336s on Big Valley. I get MeTv also and have been noticing them and wondered if y'all had.

Bridger158

You'll never get them all with a rifle. Snares were my ace in the hole back when I was trapping as a contractor for the local utilities board.

Bridger158

Thanks for the replies, yall. I always enjoy everyone's input.

http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008807210314 I live in Alabama, so it doesn't surprise me that overall guns are well accepted, but I cannot understand why 77% of people favor banning the private ownership of fully auto weapons. Even in my short 16 years I have gotten i...

Bridger158

What is all this short throat business? I had always been led to believe that the reason the modern Browning could be rechambered to things like 50-110 and the Marlin couldn't is that the Browning 86 has a longer chamber than other 45-70s? Maybe I got confused or something.

Bridger158

I admit, I had the same first thought.

Bridger158

That'd be cool for me to get the chance to do beaver control work in a foreign country. When they inevitably start flooding out the houses give me a call and I'll come on over.

Bridger158

I would love for a similar measure to be introduced here in Alabama.

Bridger158

Exactly my thoughts OI

Bridger158

It sure is ashame Britain is going to hell in a hand basket. The history of that country has for some reason always fascinated me.

It seems the opinion among many here is that they think the site is no longer as good as it once was because of all the politics being discussed. Well, as ridiculous as some of yall may think this is, I have started coming to this site MORE often because of the politics being discussed. Used to, I'd...

Bridger158

, LEGALLY, that the only feature that i agree with banning, is "full auto" capability and to some degree, limited capacity for detachable magazines. i personnally believe the 10 rounders are fine but i seldom ever put more than five in any that i personally own/operate and most game and f...

Bridger158

Probably a coon. I personally would use either a 220 conibear or the hava hart as mentioned. A third possibiliy would be a small foothold trap. However, if you choose to go any of these routes set the foothold and coni's so they aren't a threat to domestic animals.

Bridger158

I am surprised SHARPS wasn't the first on the list.

Bridger158

I'd like to see a 444 model better.

Bridger158

When will they make their ruling? I am anxiously awaiting.

Bridger158

Glad its all back, but it will definitely take some getting used to.

Bridger158

Here's an interesting but long thread about this from the trapperman forums (hope yall don't mind me posting links to threads there occasionally)

Bridger158

Thanks, yall. Extremely interesting thread.

Bridger158

Thanks. Next question-can just the average joe buy himself some gold as an investment? Literally, just buy a pound or two of gold and keep it in a safe at his house? I know the price for even a pound would be around I'm guessing $1000 an ounce, but could it be done? And where?

Bridger158

Thanks guys. So, is there any kind of system that would keep the Dollar from going down in value? Keep the discussion going, please. I am trying to get a better grasp on all this stuff.

Bridger158

Could someone please explain to me the benefits of the gold standard vs. our system now? If I am not mistaken, as of now our money is simply paper and has no real value whereas on the gold standard cash represents gold. Correct? Also, would gas prices go down if we were back on the standard? Will we...

Bridger158

No, I didn't see one but I remember when the issue came out, and still have it as a matter of fact- and it was I believe 2001.
