  1. Boycotting wouldn't work for me . I have a Lifetime license and at 71 don't have to pay for the Archery or ML tags or any hunting tags . No need to buy ammo as I am all set . The only cost I have is for the gas I use to drive to a hunting spot . I guess the big hurt I could put on by Boycotting would be I wouldn't be spending $2 for a coffee and doughnut on the way to my hunting spot .
  2. When I was looking for a scope for my new Savage shotgun I saw a Weaver and thought it was awesome but it was too much magnification for the shotgun . It was a 6X24 and very clear at long distance objects . And the price was only $250 !
  3. The associate at Dicks in Henrietta said he bought one of the Savage 220F when they 1st came out a few years ago and found the Hornaday's to work great for him ............
  4. I heard the Federal Barnes Expanders were shooters but they quit making them . The American Way ---- something works , change it !
  5. Instead of drilling and tapping , check this out . B-Square scope mount http://www.midwayusa.com/product/394757/b-square-shotgun-saddle-mount-with-1-rings-winchester-usrac-1200-1300-1400-1500-12-gauge-matte
  6. I bought 2 boxes of Winchester Supreme Dual Bond sabots as well as 2 boxes of Hornaday sabots . Now all I need is the weather to cooperate so I can try them out .
  7. I have shot deer during the summer , removed the hide and butchered them in the garage and never got a "bad"smell even though it was very warm weather .
  8. 32" draw .......holy crap ..... you must have long arms ! I used to frequent Downsouthhunting and they had nothing but praise for the Elite bows .
  9. I have heard that the accutips are awesome for accuracy and I know they are expensive . I don't want to blow up a deer just drop it . No doubt the best way to find out is shoot some . Thanks
  10. Sure I want accuracy but I was told that the polymer tips destroyed a lot of meat on a deer . Thanks for the replies . Dayum the ammo is expensive ! I might be going to Indiana the end of next month . There is a store there that has the winchester Supreme Dual Bond Slugs for just over $12 a box . Right now they have them for $10.29 . Big difference from $16 a box . If it warms a a bit I have some Federal Power Shoks I want to try . Too cold and windy to go to the range .
  11. I have seen quite a few reviews on what sabots shoot best out of the Savage 220 . My concern is meat damage . I have heard that the polymer tipped slugs tear the heck out of a deer . Is there much truth to that ? I don't want to shoot a slug that is going to waste a lot of meat . What are any of you that shoot the polymer tipped slugs experiencing for meat damage ?
  12. The glass being half full or half empty means one thing . There is still room for more beer !
  13. Did you notice that some of Obama's followers backed up like they were expecting a bolt of lightning to come from the sky !
  14. I had that problem once . I fastened 2 treestand belts together , tied a haul rope on each end after placing them around the tree and hauled them up . Fastened the ends together and left them there for the season . That won't work in all case but it did for me . Again , congrats on your deer !
  15. Some of the callers from the NRA are a bit thick . I was called last night and the guy was trying to get me to sign up for 5 years . I kept telling him that I had signed up recently for 5 years and had 4 1/2 years left on my membership . He was pushing the lifetime and I told him , " I am 71 years old and if I am still alive in 4 years that I will re-up for another 5 years " . Other than that , I am quite satisfied with the NRA !
  16. Marlin 60 Got one ---- yes For Sale ----No Bought it at WalMart a few years ago for $105 . The guys at the Rochester Gun Show wouldn't sell one for less than $140 at the time . If you get one , make sure the rear sight is tightened down . Mine had come off and was lost but Marlin sent me a new one . Really didn't need it as I put a scope on the M60 .
  17. How many shots have you put through the siding ?
  18. It's a Savage 3 shot 20 gauge with a 3X9 Redfield Scope .. I hope with it being BLACK that it isn't considered Evil !
