All my ladder stands, tripod, box blind....are chained and padlocked to the tree. Also use two to three strap ties to each stand.. Sure they can be broken but just makes it a little harder.
Prime rib, asparagus wrapped in bacon, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, stuffed mushrooms, tomatoe over mozzarella, lard bread, stuffed shells ,baked ham and biscuts.
Been using one for years with my 4 kids, not so much anymore with the 2 teenagers, but my 10 and 11 yr. Old look for him every morning to see his new spot...lol...by the end of the month my wife is going crazy to find spots she hasnt used already...lol
Thx. You know what i didnt even notice the weight. I know its 7.5 lbs naked, probably 8lbs with scope and rings, but im not trekking the ADK's anytime soon...lol...the furthest i need to go is a 20 munute trek up my mountain , then i sit so not concerned about the weight. Wow 6 chambered in the 450, thats impressive. I was very close to getting a marlin 45-70, until i stumbled on the ruget #1 in 450, yes way cooler
BTW, nice rifles. I was very close to getting the one you have, but lets just say im a sucker for stainless steal and that charcoal laminate stock sealed the deal. Unfortunately with the wood stock it gains a couple lbs over your rig, on a positive note i hope the heavier stock will help with the felt recoil.
Thx. The only other ruger i own is a 22 hornet and love it. The fit and finish on this ruger is amazing and it shoulders very nicely. Also like yourself i got it because its so compact and i was intrigued by the 450 bushmaster round. Thats some great groups and great shooting on your part. Hope mine shoots as good.
