This makes me warm and toasty in side.

Guys I have not slept at all tonight. I was hunting in Perry county yesterday and around 2 o'clock I had a large buck run in on me. He stopped about 35 yards from me  and began to look around and sniff. I have seen a few nice bucks over the last few years but never had one come close to this size. When he stopped all I could see was his back half. I had got a good look at him coming in so I knew he was a shooter. He stepped around the tree and started to turn and run. I hate to say I took the shot. At first he ran maybe 40 or 50 yards and stopped and just stood their, and then just walked off. I thought I missed and after telling a hunting buddy what happened I went to check where he was standing and found one spot of blood on a small tree a few feet away. I looked till dark and then some. We are making the hour and half drive back at sun rise to look some  more.  I hate this feeling

dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't we all just get along. Before they take it all away from us. Or start hunting us (now that would be one hell of a season)

Colt!!!!!!! All the others that have been brought up are good guns. Yes you can a flasher more tricked out 1911 for the money. But the 1991 is a great firearm. Do you want ambi safety, night sights, checkering. You can buy a Kimber and these most likely will have these already installed. The same goes for a Spring Field. The 1991 will have a smooth front strap and three dot sights and a right hand safety. All of can be changed later if find out you would like them. The 1991 will be able to do anything you want to do and like already said above it will hold its value. Look at some models with the extras and see what you think. They all will be sweet guns and you will like shooting them. Good luck

Just buy it you will love it.    W.W.J.M.B.D. 

I will eat a bowl after every meal if it is in my neighbor's house. Sorry the old me would! cookies and cream :surrender:

Hello every one my name is Andy and I have a problem with Ice cream!! Bud I am in the same boat with you I hurt my back in Feb 2014, I was around 295 and 6' at the time. After being off of work most of the year in early August I went to doctor for a bad cough and when I step on the scale it read 322'. I almost cried right there I had been seeing the weight come up slowly but it never got over 315 I went a few months with out getting on a scale and was shocked that day. I made up my mind that I was going to change my life. I have only been drinking water. And eating a small pack of tuna for lunch, and two pieces of toast for breakfast and small dinner. I have only drank two 12 oz cokes since. As of right now I am 272 pounds. I started walking some at first but I have not since I started back to work in late Sept. I am not wanting to be a skinny guy but I am sick of hurting every dam day and I made my mind up that since the doctors cant help I would. And I have almost gave up ice cream. O.P. I hope you get to the point that you feel like you need to be at. If you need to talk or some help let me know. Keep up the good work.        Andy 

Smoke them if you got them boys!!!!!   I think I might be sharing the dog house Saturday night but I am still going!!!!! code red!!!!!!!

From what I gather some of the newer ones have had issue with the sights, and actions being less the par. I seen post stating that the newer 45/70 models would have the front sight not centered up on the barrel they where between 1 and 2 o'clock. And some post where the action was very gritty. These where on 45/70s because that was what I have been looking for I do not know if this is true for others. Also I think that these where some rifles that Remington was making after buying out Marlin. The older ones seem to be topnotch from what I seen. Good luck       If you get a chance look up Hickok 45 on youtube he has some good videos on lever guns.

I ran across a friend yesterday and while talking to him he showed me a picture that blew my mind and the story that went with it was even better.   Two seasons ago him and his dad was hunting on a piece land around 80 acres. My friend was watching a few does in a field when he notice a monster buck in the corner watching the does. He said before he could get his scope up it was gone. His dad was hunting a logging road not to far from him. Well you might all ready know what happens next ( BANG) yep dad dropped the hammer on him. My friend got out of his  stand and rushed over too see if was the buck he had seen, and found his dad saying boy you wont believe what I shot!!!! They looked for hours and the next day also but could not find the deer not even any blood or fur. So they just thought bad shot placement, extra strong deer, or a miss. Well over this past weekend my friend took his son to the same piece of land and set up a pop up blind in that area. As the sun came up they saw a few does and small bucks but nothing worth shooting. When my buddy saw what he thought was a deer bedded down in some thick brush. After a few hours and this deer had not moved at all he got and walked down to see what was up. And that's when he found the remains of the monster from two years ago complete! Only thing missing was half of one of the horns he said it looked like a coon had been chewing on it. So they took the skull and rack to his father and asked if he still thought he had missed the shot. I will be honest I did not believe the story two years ago or yesterday till he showed me the picture. I am glad that his dad got his deer even knowing it is damage, and glad that my buddy and his sun could be the ones to bring it to him.       Picture is coming Thanks to Luke E. thanks again bud

Stop posting pics like these please my heart can't take it!! Just kidding keep it up guys they are looking good. On a side note if any of these had walked out in front of me they would have been thinking to them self (what the hell was that, that fat guy just passed out!!!!)

You can have any I get also bud.

That's nice

I was not going to do that either one of the fawns was maybe knee high maybe.

I got to get out this morning and saw three does with fawns. Nothing after 8:30 tho.

Boy I love that one!!!!!!!!

Did you post a picture a few years ago with a few less in it, maybe on a table?

Also Luke I would love to help you with your plans. Let me know how I can help.

Luke if you want to try out a crossbow to see how your houses will work let me know you can borrow my Horton 150, it aint the best but I am still eating a doe from last year that I took with it.

Thanks for the offer I will be taken you up on this after Christmas the wife wont approve of this for my gift.

Is their a club that I can join locally so I can buy from them? I tried to look some of the clubs they had posted and they seemed out dated. Any help would be greatly accepted Thanks. Andy      And if a TGO trip comes up I am in.

I have been thinking of buying a set of sticks so my son could use my cross bow.

Thanks Luke E. I will let you know bud.

He worked on a Para 1911  for me had me in and out in 10 minutes and I have never had a issue after that. I am glad I ran across this post I need to take my Dan Wesson by and have him do a look over and talk to him about some work.
