Rifle in .260 Remington, another older Marlin 336 in .35 Remington, a TC Renegade .50 caliber and an Ameristep Doghouse TSC ground blind I have on the way? Nope nuttin much. But what the heck it ain't time for season to open yet so who knows I might get something new. :eek:

My son ,"High Brass" , bought me a Rem. 7600 7mm-08 with laminated stocks. I put a Leupold VX2 1x4 on it. It's a dandy. :grin:

Yep, a couple of Sako rifles. One in 308 and another in 280. I dont make a lot of money, but the prices were too good to pass on. And gratefully my wife understands my love of rifles and hunting.

This year (in order) I've added a No1 MkIII SMLE sporter in .303, a BAR 1 in .308, an Excalibur Exomag 200 lb crossbow and a Winchester 94 AE in .356 Winchester.

All but the SMLE (being a boring old bolt action :twisted: ) have an excellent chance of finding their way into the deer woods this year.

Just a set of laminated stocks and a 209 x 50 barrel for my encore. Oct 1 ain't here yet, so plenty of time for more "necessities".

Venison probably costs me $250/lb once you figure in all the essential "tools of the trade".

Would like to have added more but as it was I was able to add a:
Savage 110 30-06
Remington 870 Express w/slug bbl
Savage 12FV 223 (what a nice tack driver!)

Lawdog · « **Reply #9 on:** August 24, 2004, 10:37:25 AM »

Just a new Savage M10 in .270 WSM. Was looking forward to having my custom .35 Whelen ready but work has interfered with it's progress. Lawdog

Lemme see: The T/C Encore .30/06

(used) CVA Mountain rifle (which Im working a few bugs out of.)

And possibly a new Lyman Deerstalker muzzel loader (in case the problems with the CVA dont clear up.)

But heck, deer season is still 2 months away.........too much time to spend money if you ask me :-D .

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #14 on:** August 25, 2004, 02:22:24 PM »

Willis, your comment is hilarious

:-D . But on a topic note, my only new toy is a Traditions Hawken that should be arriving at my local gunshop within 2 weeks.

Graybeard · « **Reply #15 on:** August 25, 2004, 05:37:18 PM »

I've already thought of a half dozen or more items left out above in my reply including a couple guns. But as of today I can also add a Horton Crossbow since Bama is letting us use them in bow season this year for the first time. I can now again go bow hunting even with my bum shoulders. Well I can if I can cock the rascal.

I've got loads worked up for 180Grn Sierra Game Kings and 180Grn Nosler Ballistic Tips. Working up loads now for 165Grn Nosler Partitions and 180Grn Sierra ProHunters (flat based).

Here is a couple of 100Yd 3 shot groups with the GK's & BT's

If the ProHunters & Partitions shoot as well as these two, I'll be tickeled.

I bought a Tikka t3 lite stainless in .30-06 and put a weaver grand slam 3-10x40 on it (shooting great). A few new grunt calls and one of those can calls oh a squirrel call too. A ton of ammo in different calibers. I just bought a 2002 chevy trailblazer. Wow, now I need to win the lottery and try to pay for this stuff.

Have fun and be safe

Rick Teal · « **Reply #24 on:** August 28, 2004, 05:25:41 PM »

Since we're getting away from 'shootin' irons" I guess I could add a few more myself.

I bought a 2002 S10 ext. cab 4X4 short box, a Bushnell Rangefinder, some bigger bino's and some new ATV toys as well. I also picked up a battery operated reciprocating saw that I hope to use for chunking up a moose this fall.
