My crud comment is my opinion of the aesthetics laminate stocks have on lever rifles especially considering the cost of the 1895’s. I own a few laminate stocked rifles. They are a tick better than a...

Just watched a video from Ruger that stated we will see 336’s very soon and 1894’s by spring. Both in walnut not the laminate crud they offered in 1895’s.

I had super deal on a 550 with 5 full conversions offered to me. I had always been patient waiting for something like this. I like you just used the ol rock chucker and a Summit I added a few years...

I purchased my RL550 used and it doesn’t have a serial number that I know of. I just emailed the part number I needed and a few days later they responded that it’s been shipped no charge of course.

My chargemaster performs fine with Unique. The last time I used it was for unique charges under a 95 grain boolit in 243.

I ran a trapline in high school. I decided to make jerky out of a yearling and darn if it didn’t come out excellent. My friend was the one with the dehydrator so we partnered peddling it. Long story...

Buy alloys from Rotometals. If your insistence on doing some of the alloying yourself buy hardball, pure and tin. Reason being it’s difficult to alloy antimony as someone already mentioned.

Hot plates are typically just used to pre heat moulds. Unless you introduced additional heat from a propane torch to get things melting on the top it would take awhile if ever to melt. I recommend...
I called Redding Monday to purchase a set screw, brass plug, wave washer and the recessed handle screw. No retail sales the kind gentleman said, we’ll get it mailed out. He did say some of the...

I’m in the camp that doesn’t think it’s relevant. Unless you tied an algorithm to the posts and top rated rose up I see no point. I’m not a social media person though. I do regularly thumbs up yt...
I have a 4.5–14 vari x 3 on one of my 25-06’s. It’s perfect for hunting and a fine optic at dusk when aiming towards the setting sun. It has an adjustable objective so I can count fly legs at 400...

I’ve seen a many fox over the years. I bet 90% of them were in town or the outskirts with minimal acreage. We had one when I lived in Illinois that just strolled the street in our country subdivision...

I have a mark II. That’s the only ruger under my roof. I’d consider a 1894 ruglin once they hit the market if it matches the quality that made jms desirable. If not I’ll happily pay the premium jms...

I recommend an onX subscription for a smartphone. You do not have to have service for it to work if you download the map and save it. I was the first one to get it in our elk hunting group several...
