I just traded an old 4 screw Model 29 for a 1959 Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in 270. It comes with an original leather sling and an period correct Leupold variable scope. As soon as it hit the LGS the proprietor started trying to talk me out of it. He wants to swap it and a pair of expensive N frame grips for “a deluxe Winchester 94 AE in 45 Colt. The 270 is s great example of a gun that has been cared for but used as it was intended. It does have a rubber butt pad instead of the steel butt plate but it is still a neat old gun. I gave not gotten to see the 94 due to the ice storm but I’ll look at it on Monday is stuff thaws.
Any thoughts since I don’t deal with long guns much?

Great hunt Mr B.! A revolver cat is one of my dream hunts.

A little different today than on the day I went riding. Everything outside is covered in an inch or more of solid ice and even going down the driveway to feed Copper makes a guy look like Anton Apollo Ono! Luckily I have a good set of trekking poles with ice tips under the normal rubber boots so we could make it to the barn then over to the shop so I could finish up the last of the nativity orders. Luckily the shop had a big 125,000 btu propane heater and it worms that space up pretty quickly.

I took the little Kimber down to get a bunch of parts replaced yesterday and the shop is down in the southern part of the valley. That section is loaded with flocks of sheep and lambing has started which means the bald eagles are congregating to clean up still born lambs and such. I saw two of the big birds yesterday and about a zillion red tail hawks on the drive.

I had this little doe standing for a perfect shot two days ago and I simply enjoyed watching her figure stuff out then trot off. Today I snuck up on what I’m sure was the same little deer in her bed and darned if I did the same thing. Since I’m mainly looking for a summer sausage/ pepperoni stick animal I’m looking for a nature doe or a young buck but this little curry keeps me smiling and get tempting fate!😄

Ya, I won't be heading up the Columbia skating rink this weekend! Just stick around here and work in the shop. Those two short barrel guns are as nice a pair of old models as I have ever had. The New model l30 carbine is almost just as nice. I need to get good pictures of the 30 Carbine and get it on the Ruger Forum. No desire to load for another revolver cartridge at this stage of the game.

Totally subjective here but the 500s are gone and the 475 is still here. For some reason I shoot it better and enjoy it more. I have not tried 480 rounds in it yet.

I had a hard time turning that one loose! Malcolm did well when he had that bisley built.

RKMesa has the nicest collection of engraved S&W guns I have ever seen.
