I will probably get crucified for this but here goes just one opinion: I owned one and while it was a great shooting rifle and very accurate I found it very loud and to much recoil for my liking.

Agree with Grampy & the others..that is a great and rare shot.

Pygmy Haven't talked to anyone about a smelt run anywhere. What I was saying was we use to time our perch fishing on Seneca around the smelt run which give or take is about the same time everywhere in the state. I haven't fished Seneca in quite some time and when we did we would smelt on the Hector side. When we perch fished it would be primarily on the Dresden side. Since I sold my boat (one of the dumbest things I ever did.) I haven't fished much at all. Haven't done any smelting lately either and didn't realize it was that bad in Seneca. We use to hit them there and Canandaigua pretty good. I don't know anyone smelting anymore and can't get any of the "younger" generation interested so I have been sitting it out. It really isn't something you want to do alone with all that "can" go wrong.

I have personally never used a peep. After trying one I found it distracting and a pain. Keeping a consistent anchor point has never been a problem. With plenty of practice a consistent anchor point comes naturally...but then again I use to shoot instinctive. I believe practice develops good form.

Double post Posted simultaneously you can delete this one

He probably would have been alright if she didn't bend over for a drink. Some times that is all it takes

Think about heading one lake east. Seneca has some huge perch early in the year. 1&2 pounders are common. Usually right after the smelt run. Haven't been out or heard if the smelt are running or have run yet.

Happy Birthday...hope it's dryer there than here!!!!!!! OOPS radar shows it isn't

I did a similar project a few years ago myself and I doubt very much you will finish something like that in a year working weekend & nights. Finally said screw it, sold the house,and built new.

CongratulationsTo add to grows' advise.....Plan real good and do it right the first time. Nothing worse than having to go back and change things after the fact. If it is done right the first time you can look back with satisfaction and move on to the next project. Houses are BIG money pits and can be very frustrating and expensive but it can be rewarding in the end.

This would be correct...There are more than enough gun owners in the state to control their destiny by simply getting out to vote. The fact that they did not is why we are stuck with Cumo and the safe act. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Kutos to all the shed hunters that have found some horns but I gotta tell ya....it really saddens me to see all the nice racks being found with the bodies still attached or near by. Seem like a lot are not following up with the tracking job and some nice bucks (and does) are dying needlessly.

I think that is why they call this a free country. Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force revealing that Michelle Obama’s 2014 trip to China cost American taxpayers $362,523.53 in air travel expenses alone. The First Lady, her daughters, and her mother spent March 19 – 26 in China, in a trip highlighted by extended visits to some of the country’s most popular tourist sites. The Daily Mail reported that: “Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite.” The 3,400-square-foot suite included a private steam room, and in-room dining for six. much of the Obama family’s time was spent at popular tourist sightseeing venues. According to Diplomat.com, “The First Lady, daughters Malia and Sasha, and mother Marian Robinson visited Beijing’s Forbidden City and Summer Palace as well as the Great Wall, the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xi’an, and the Chengdu Panda Base.”

You are absolutely correct my friend. Unfortunately "the people" are just as messed up as the government and everyone is going in a different direction with their own agenda and no common ground. The closest we came and will probably ever come to being united is when the country voted Trump in. Now that he is in we are beginning to find out just how far apart everyone is like. Crap like this Dem State Rep Warns Illegal Immigrants About Upcoming ICE 'Raid' http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/03/29/michelle-dubois-democrat-state-rep-warns-illegal-immigrants-ice-raid-brockton: should not be tolerated just like Maryland wants to become a sanctuary state after a teen was raped by two illegal immigrants. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/03/20/maryland-girl-allegedly-raped-in-high-school-bathroom-by-two-teens-at-least-one-here-illegally.html My question would be 1) Why & how are they here? 2) Why are they in our schools? Without solid ground and common values this country and our government will fail. Trump nor anyone else will be able to stop it.

WASHINGTON As America’s first family enjoys its eighth and final vacation in Hawaii, new estimates put the price tag of the Obamas’ annual trip at $3.5 million or more. In total, the cost of the the first family’s personal or largely personal travel during the last eight years comes to $85 million – though that is likely to climb to $90 million after additional records are released, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch based on federal government records. Her is some more reading for ya if ya get bored: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidential_trips_made_by_Barack_Obama_during_2016 Obama’s Travel Cost Taxpayers More Than $96 Million January 3, 2017 2:45 pm President Obama's travel expenses cost taxpayers more than $96 million during his time in office, according to a report from the watchdog group Judicial Watch. The group obtained documents from the Secret Service and Air Force that revealed President Obama's travel over the last eight years totaled $96,938,882.51. None of this includes the cost of Michelle Obama's trips which also ran into the millions.

Wow didn't expect all the happie's. (if there is such a word) Me & WNYBuckHunter seemed to have a lot in common. Same birthday, live close to each other, and run Primos callers & Wicked lights. Great day so far and going to top it off with a nice quiet dinner out.... then tomorrow start getting ready for the seasons to come. Thanks again to all!

They do it in the form of "Grants" ......Same difference and each section of government has their own agenda. Millions and Millions of dollars. Here is a list: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/learn-grants/grant-making-agencies.html

I think your handle should be changed from "wooly" to "shedmagnet"

Wasn't that easy for them either with two young kids and both of their families here. He had a collection of AR's and was afraid to go out and shoot them because like many others he didn't register them under the safe act. Being a fairly young couple they couldn't keep up with the constant tax increases. She was able to land a good job and they found a house to rent twice the size of theirs here to rent for 1/2 of what they were paying here. There house here sold fairly quickly so now they are money ahead and enjoying their life in a new place.

My neighbor just sold his house and moved there last fall. They moved because of the NYS gun laws and taxes. As soon as they found work off they went . Says he doesn't regret it a bit.

I understand your dilemma. What you need to check is whether or not the spring can come out that way. I believe if it comes out it has to be removed from the magazine end.

I see now but does your spring come out when you on screw the barrel?
