RE: over analyzing caliber

Good post - I completely agree.

My only nit-pick - - make that about 100 year old and I wouldn't have anything at all to quibble over.[&:]

RE: accuracy of a gun

I don't know about 'built' - that depends on specific gun, but this action was designed more than 100 years ago - the 98 refers to 1898! Truely an amazing design!

Hi mrwake

It seems to me that you left out an important detail in your original question... what level of accuracy are you getting with the factory ammo you are using? If you are getting 1/2 moa...

Maybe doctors need to use "safer" tools - like dull scalpels, and diluted medications;)

RE: Is Poaching Okay???

As some others have said, I don't think the choice "poach or starve" is realistic situation. If, and it's a big IF, it ever really did come down to that choice - yes, I would poach. It would still...

RE: Anybody have any tips for shooting offhanded?

Just a little point - If you do a lot of practicing with a .22, make sure you are using a form that is approp. to high-power hunting (if that's your goal). For example: if you practice with a form...

A personal protection (by that I assume you mean carrying it) semi-auto, that is also appropriate for hunting. Hmmmm - that seems like a bit of a stretch for a single gun. My advise would be to not...

RE: Handload vs. Factury load.

Seems like you have 4 choices:

1) see if you can find some shop (do some searching on the net) that still has the discontinued ammo - if you find any, buy it all.

RE: Need advise on stock refinishing

I agree with the general opinion - probably better off re-finishing the whole thing.

The main thing with the checkered areas is to avoid getting too much finish in the grooves. If doing a...
