    Which rifle are you using this fall?

    I'll be spending every day I can get away from class this fall in the bush.
    For whitetails and moose, and perhaps even black bear I use a BLR in .7mm-08REM.

    The last photo is from last November, it's a bit blurry, but you get the idea:









    If I'm lucky though, I might take a g.33/40 out for a day this fall.... as long as it isn't raining

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Dunno yet. Probably use more than one rifle. Serious candidates include:

    - Custom Remington 700 in .300 H&H




    - Ruger No.1A in .30-06

    - Lyman Great Plains in .54RB
    - Pre-64 Winchester Model 94 with pre-1950 Lyman steel peep in .30-30.

    Whatever the case, I WON'T be using this:

    The PPK is the perfect "bear" gun. When the bear starts to chase you and your hunting buddy, just shoot him in the leg to give the bear a slower target.

    I don't hunt, but my Ranger Patrol has decided to plan a hunting ex this Sept. Hopefully I'll get my first whitetail or mulie in about 20 years. We'll all be using our issue No.4. Exercise name is Gut Pile.

    Have a few to choose from. Maybe a 1905R .303 Ross sporter. Just fitted a Redfield aperture sight to one that had been previously drilled and tapped. Or, if I can get it shooting to my satisfaction, my Starr carbine. The Mauser Type A would be a classic; so would the 6.5 MS. There are a few milsurps that would be interesting. Or maybe just stay with the Ruger .44 or Winchester 94 in .303 Savage that I carried last November. So many to choose from. 14 days in the deer season, perhaps a different rifle every day?
    Glad I noticed the PPK; otherwise I was would have wondered exactly what you were planning to do to the deer.

    Tiriaq, I know what you mean, too many to choose from. I'd love to ake each of my milsurps out for a day, but I don't feel as bad about letting the Browning get soakd in rain etc.

    Lol Claven@2,
    I just noticed some of the accessories you've got next to the PPK.

    Incidentally, with respect to small big game guns, I knew a chap who administered the coup to a caribou with a Colt .25.

    ross

    For my inaugural moose hunt this fall, I am pleased to announce that my 1905 Ross will be taking down my first moose(yep fingers crossed), of course people in my hunting group are looking down there nose at my choice so the pressure is on to perform.

    There is something about a Canadianicon shooter, a Canadian rifle and a Canadian Moose shot on Canadian soil that means very much to me.

    For my coyote problems, my new Stevens .223 is the choice by far. Very pleased with it so far.
