    FS: 357 wheel gun

    You are out of your mind! 675 for this wheel gun! I saw one 18 years ago at BPS for $100. With tax, allowing for inflation and the $32 public safety fee, it's not worth more than 674.99, go gouge elsewhere! Bump for a sweet revolver. I would love it, but my revolver game is already too strong.

    Ruger american predator price drop 400

    As the Judge, Jury and Executioner, I declare the rifle must be cut in half and you both get a piece. If a firm price was set, and agreed upon then imo, the deal is done. However if there isn't a "I will take it" declared, it is still up for sale.

    I would love to see what is built with it. It doesn't have any real family history but I had thought of building it up myself, but had too many other projects.

    Any beekeepers out there?

    Up north you will deal with freezing, less honey and bears.

    Any beekeepers out there?

    Be ready for tons of hot hours in a suit. Assume all bees you catch are Africanized. Always wear your gear. Tape your cuffs and zipper openings down. Wear leather boots, they will sting you through your shoes. Its cheaper to buy honey.

    There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch

  14. Lee Marvin went on a guided elk hunt back in 1963 on my grandfather's ranch in South Western Colorado. Here is a picture of him and my dad and granddad and the elk that he shot. There is an article, supposedly written by Lee Marvin in Gun World Magazine May of 9164. My grandfather is right behind Lee and my dad, 18 at the time, is sporting the tactical plaid shirt and glasses. Just lost my dad last week, but photos like these keep him alive. https://culturepulp.typepad.com/culturepulp/2008/08/elk-hunting-with-lee-marvin.html

    Advice wanted - crazy gun sale

    Tough situation. Good luck. I will wait and see how this plays out. Keep us informed. What is with all the jawing and fighting? This was a great site where hunters supported each other. Now I see why so many people have left.

    Elk hunting with Lee Marvin

    I lowered the Browning custom model and turned the Redfield variable back down to four-power. My dad told me that Browning made him that rifle just for this hunt. In 1963 most people had fixed power scopes and the Redfield Variable 3-9 was new and cost $100.00, about 2 times as much as a fixed power. How it is specifically mentioned in the article goes along with my dad's version of what really happened, imo.

    Savage model 24 sold.

    I have the same gun in 30/30 over 12ga and several older ones 22 over 410 and 22mag over 20. I'd love this one but have too much going on right now to break away and get it.

    Elk hunting with Lee Marvin

    Muledeer, ask your friend if he still has that 30-06. My dad told me it has a white streak on the stock where a horse rubbed against an aspen tree. The white dust was pushed into the grain. Another part to the story, that is kind of mentioned in the story, is it was a elk and mule deer hunt in early fall. My dad told me they were hunting during deer season, elk wasn't open. Lee's schedule didn't work for the elk season. The guides were a game warden and a sheriff's deputy. There was a Sony camera crew there to get the story. The whole "let the biggest one live" was a marketing ploy. They wanted to get hunters into the area. And the one he shot had just shot his load in a cow, he waited until he finished, was the gentleman thing to do. My granddad was told what booze to have on hand for Lee, but when Lee found out my grandpa didn't drink, he put it all away and didn't drink on the ranch. He did smoke some big cigars, the one that my dad put a cigar load into, got a big laugh around the fire. My granddad was in the army and was in the Battle of the Bulge, Lee Marvin was a Marine and was wounded in the Pacific. They had fun swapping military tales at night. This is all per my dad, who from that time on, was a huge Lee Marvin fan. He raised me watching all his movies.
  21. I think he is a real seller. People pay huge cash for the craziest stuff. Scarcity drives people to pay way over retail. Go to a Az Elk dinner and see what is auctioned off.
  22. I wish someone would have steered me away from custom/collectable knives. Dawson knives take up a big part of my knife section in my safe. Too pretty to use.
  23. Collectors are crazy. No matter what it is. You either get it or you don't. IE Pre-64 Winchester, Colt Pythons, registered M16s and MP5s....... That being said, not a great first post, especially if he isn't local.
