JUST part of it!!??

slagmaker · January 19, 2011, 11:26:57 AM

I will try and stop by there this weekend and check on the price for ya HaMeR.

HaMeR · January 19, 2011, 12:36:53 PM

Thanks slag. If it's a decent price I may ask for your assistance in getting some if that's OK with you. We can either settle up at the LBL or I'll send you the funds if you like.

Thanks!!

If you want, send it out here and I'll carve Diane's name on it. Maybe even a groundhog to commemorate her first one she'll dispatch with it.

Do it Glen Do it!

Glen can't do that Jim. Heck, all his guns would have Diane's name on them and probably the camera too.

Finally got to throw some lead downrange with the ol 5MM today!! I took some nasty pics of the targets so I'm not gonna post them. I'll get the tripod out tomorrow & take some gooder ones.

What the ........?

Get er done!
We've been waiting to see what this oldie, but goldie can do!

HaMeR · February 17, 2011, 07:02:33 PM

Yeah me too.

HaMeR · February 17, 2011, 07:36:35 PM

Didn't get past 35yds yesterday. The rain started just as we were about to move to 50yds out after shooting some 100yd 204R reloads. She might be a keeper.

HuntnCarve · February 18, 2011, 04:10:41 AM

Looks like Diane's got herself a new rifle.

A good shooter at that. I'm sure she'll let you carry it into the field for her Glen.

Saw my first chuck yesterday dead on the road. The season is just around the corner.

Thats a nice group for sure. Does that have a Bull Barrel Glen?

WldWldWest · February 18, 2011, 06:44:47 AM

Glad to see ya finally getting around to fooling with it! Glad Diane has a new rifle as well!

I still think you should box it up and send it to me.....

HaMeR · February 18, 2011, 06:59:57 AM

I haven't seen my 1st hog yet Dave but I'm looking!!

I'm sure Diane will grab that one too. But I think it might be OK. All I know is that if she does,,,, that Marlin 17HaMeR in the safe will have a new 4-12x40 on it & it'll be mine!! All mine I tell ya!! MINE!!!!!!!

Jim-- Just the standard slim & trim barrel. That whole rig weighs just over 5lbs. Diane can carry that one herself.

Doug-- I still think it would shoot better with a walmart Tasco on top.

I used to talk to a guy from Alabama. He said they could use rimfires on turkeys. Can you use them in Tenn? If so,,,

WldWldWest · February 18, 2011, 07:24:44 AM

No Rimfires in TN for Turkey's! But I still have a place for it!

We just use a Sawbriar and a grapevine to catch em!

If ya want I can hook ya up on a Good Tasco if there is such a thing.....

Try wishing on stars Glen. It still isn't going to happen.

As for groundhogs around here, they haven't dug through the snow yet that I have seen.

HaMeR · February 18, 2011, 07:39:05 AM

@^^^^!! Next LBL I make it to we'll have to find that shooting range & you can snap a couple off with it.

Actually I'm looking at another Swift Premier 4-12x40 like the one on the 221FireBall. Diane seems to like that combo rather well. Myself I just can't justify Leupold $$ on a RF rifle. A doaner/loaner scope is different now.

But to drop the coin on one it aint happening.

I know you like your Leupolds with good reason too. Aint nothing wrong there either.

Can't a guy dream Jerry!!

vvarmitr · February 18, 2011, 07:55:53 AM

Whatta know .... it put 3 shots on the same sheet of paper! W/ you shooting it to boot!

BTW who shot that nice 5 shot group on New Years of "05?

Should I assume the 30gr JHPs are a pointed Jacketed Hollow Point or do they have a flat meplat?

Those are 4" squares too.

QuoteShould I assume

WHAT you SHOOOOULD ASSume is they are loaded with the Secret Centurion Groundhog Slobberknockin 30gr JHP's buddy!!

vvarmitr · February 18, 2011, 08:33:10 AM

Yeap! Those look like some real Slobberknockers!

Slobberknockin?

So I ASSume they shooooould be labeled 30gr SCGSJHP.
