Has anyone ever had their bass reels professionally cleaned? I have quite a few that need a deep clean, but no time to do it myself. Thanks

Can anyone reccomend an appraiser for some ww2 era guns? Need a post-mortem appraisal after a house fire. Either Phoenix or Flagstaff area. Thanks in advance.

Wont work too well because of the spin the rifling puts on the load. I would imagine that unlike a bullet, the spin put on the shot will give you a uslessly large pattern at a very close range.

Cool! How did you mount them and to what? thx

You certainly do not need a scope to kill an elk. If your hunting in juniper country, shots could easily be under 100 yards. If you really want a scope and it needs to be tapped for one, dont do it. Do some research tho, the military did put scopes on some back in the day, I am not sure how they were attached. I know they put them to the side so that the en-block clip could still be taken in and out. It sure would be fun to hunt with such a historic rifle! my 2 cents

+1

it would taste better if you ate it

wow, beautiful photo!

I had a similar experience on a cow elk this year. I was using 30-06 180 grn rem core locks. She took three to the chest without flinching (thats why i kept shooting). All three were recovered under the hide on the opposite side. The elk did not bleed externally at all. It was a good learning experience for me.

wow, looks like a great day. And quite the variety as well....

Thats a good first duck! Back in the day, one of the most expensive meals you could order at a fancy East Coast resturant was roast canvasback.

"She is much more interested in a simple hunt that will give her a chance to put some meat in the freezer." That is the purpose of hunting. Nice buck

Thanks for the info guys; answered some of the questions I had about the merriams.

WOW! good finds! Is that a real skull you attached them to? And how did you attatch them?
