Ever consider working on it yourself? You can find all the info you need on the web, save a lot of money, and there is a certain satisfaction on recieves from fixing it yourself.

Aside from chopping firewood, do you really do these other activities?

Do you guys find a lot of use for a tomahawk?

Depends on if I'm buyin' or sellin'.

I've heard there are some really nice sporting clays ranges in Tunica Mississippi. I haven't been there personally, however.

COLT!!!!

That;s different....I like it! Thanks for sharing.

I really like Phil Valentine. He is on at a bad time, however: 4-8 in the evening. I used to listen to him more when he was on in the mornings. He's mainly a political show, but he's actually funny. No end of the world crap every day. Steve Gill isn't funny at all.

Those are the things she'll look back on and remember about you...not what you bought her or how much time you spent at work. Keep up the good work. I wish there were more responsible fathers around.

Thanks WD-40. That's what I was looking for.

So.....I've still yet to hear of a failure to retrieve a deer properly hit with a 223. Anyone? Anyone??? Bueller?????

I've always wanted a Marlin, but to date haven't owned one. One day I need to correct that.

My feelings exactly. I could probably work 40 hours a week reloading ammo. However, I do not want to take on the liablilty, or insure against the liability that would entail, so only I shoot my reloads. I know guys who reload for the public, or at least their friends, and have had no problems to date. I feel the profit is too small and the risk is to great to reload for others.

Winchester did.

I usually agree with Steve Gill, but I'd rather hear someone clawing a chalkboard than to listen to him.

When did being made in the sixties make something old??!!?

No and no. The Marlin lever is one of the strongest 22s I know of. I believe high velocity ammunition was popular in the 60s anyway. Some of the very early Colt pre Woodsmans are set up to shoot standard velocity ammo. Most others handle high velocity fine. It's a good thing, because they are about all you can find. Age, for the most part, doesn't hurt ammunition. Shoot it and go on about your business.

I do. Why would you make that statement?

I like this attitude better than this one: Everyone is welcome to their opinion, but guess which store is more likely to get my business.

Aren't the antlers, tarsal glands, etc. also evidence of sex? I have checked in close to 100 deer, do not keep the genitals, and have never had a problem. Several have been checked by TWRA agents, and so far, no problems. As far as the field dressing, the warm guts feel pretty good to frozen fingers on a cold morning.

I've never shot a deer with a 223, but I'm sure it is far superior to a bow and arrow. It also has more muzzle energy than a 44 magnum. I've yet to hear anyone make the arguement that a 44 mag was inadequate for deer. Really? How tough are they? You'd think with all the new magnums being introduced that they keep getting tougher. Seriously, has anyone hear made a good shot on a deer with a 223 and lost the deer?

I don't know Joe from Adam and have never been in his store. I don't intend on spreading any rumors about anyone. I was trying to point out the fact that his posts in this thread seemed a bit arrogant and rude. I doubt he meant to come off that way, and I was hoping he'd think before appearing that way in front of his customers. I tried, unsuccessfully it would appear, to help him. I often sound like a jerk when not trying to, and appreciate it when someone points it out in a courteous way. I wish Joe the best and hope his business booms.

Fair enough!

I have always assumed this. I hope that you respond to such offers with a polite "thanks but no thanks" instead of the spill you gave earlier in this thread.

SO you're saying that if I am in your shop and see a gun I like but think is a bit overpriced, you'd rather me leave your store and not come back than to make you a cash offer on the gun? You do realize that I will likely tell all my hunting buddies about the bad experience in your shop as well??!!?? It is your business, but I sure don't understand the mentality. If I go in a gun store once and recieve attitude from the guy behind the counter, I never go back. I also relay the experience to many other potential customers.
