That's good to know. I'm researching bullet loads now for particular game. Any suggestions?

Yeah it's about a 9 hour ride to our hunting spot...its on the northern part of Green Bay, about 40 minutes north of the Wisconsin border. Ahh well, its only once a year and it is a nice spot overlooking a huge swamp.

Looking forward to Wednesday, thank you much!

By the way I was perusing your picture album and your Deathmaster 2001 is a fine example. When I finally take the time, I will have to post pics of my Deathmaster 2007 I put together. Not quite as handy as yours...I was going for a target type, but in a 16 in. barrel. So it is a little bit handy.

We spent part of our honeymoon in the porcupines. Great land in the summer, I'd hate to be there for the winter.


I think I got that in 2005. It's an Armalite M15A4. I'm going to pick up a quad rail for it at some point. The EOtech is fast and is great for close to medium ranges.

My next AR will be a build and I'll either got for a 20 inch precision or I'm going to make a RECCE/Recon clone. I haven't decided which.

I am about 9 minutes from good deer hunting and if I was looking for rabbits ,gophers and ducks it would be 9 minutes on foot. There are some definite pluses
to living in the boonies.

Great rifle now you have an excuse to get a mat5ching calibre singkle action revolver. I like the re released Ruger Flattops.

I am keeping an eye out for a nice bow myself.

Sorry, I do not hunt so I have no suggestions for hunting loads. For just plain fun shooting I like to use 200 grain cast lead round nose flat points sized at .430. I load them to fairly low pressure using either 7.5 grains of Unique or 4.7 grains of Titegroup. Both shoot very well in both the Marlin and my Ruger Vaquero.

I'm about 9/10th of a mile from the Osceola National Forest. It's got some pretty good Deer hunting in the state. I cannot wait. Plus there's about 100 acres of unused woods that connect to my backyard that's got its share of deer.

A revolver in .44 magnum is my next handgun.

The .44 Magnum is great on deer and hogs, and it leaves a blood trail a blind man could follow. For hunting in close heavy cover, its a winner. I love my 1894 Winchester. The 1894 Marlin is as good or better. I wish I had not let my Marlin go. It would group about 1.5" to 2.5" at 100 yards, with the right ammo. The Winchester is closer to 2.5" to 4" at the same range. Not a .223 Varmint round anyway. Its made for shooting big animals at close range, and it excels at putting them down.

Keep the good positive comments comming. So far no sign of buyers remorse.

Nice rifle, Jerry.
Brockman did the work on several of my .44 mags. I have never been unhappy. He also got them back to me extremely quickly.

I like grizzly cartridge company's .44 specials. Word is, guys are carrying their loads for bear defense out Alaska way. Should do the job on anything south of there, I would guess.
In magnums, I like Buffalo bore. Incredible velocity in a handgun, downright scary in a carbine.

Are those his ghost ring sights? I want to switch out the current sights for ghostrings and I was looking at his, or those made by wild west guns. I also want to go with one of his big loop levers.

Peace
Jerry

very nice. i would love to have a lever action in 357 or 44 with a revolver to match. always thought that would make for a good bug out combo. less ammo to worry about.
