    Marines Witnessed Atomic Blast

    No I haven't. The only thing I have ever watched is, concerning the Marines, some footage on a old documentary that talked about the bomb and the Marines. Don't even remember the name of it. Thanks for the links to the videos! I will do more research

    At What Point Do They Become Vintage

    Well this is all interesting. Enjoy reading the comments. Actually I was poking fun at myself for the rifles I've had when I was younger and now that I'm older I'm going full circle! 😖

    At What Point Do They Become Vintage

    So at age 14 I got my 1st deer rifle, a 98 German Mauser that had been sporterized and chambered in 30.06. Then 2 years later I purchased a brand new Mauser 30.06 out of the Spiegel catalog with Tasco scope for $100 . Then 2 years later I was 18 and went into a Kmart and bought a brand new...

    What do I have?!

    I have one very similar. But yours seems to be newer just looking at the serial no# Same scope mounts and integral rail. Mine is a short action and yours seems to be also? Anyway mine is a Sako imported by Stoeger in the late 70's, early 80's . Best I can find is Marlin bought these to get...

    RH Twist vsLH Twist

    So this is what I always thought was the real reason that RT and LT made a difference. Never considered what hand the shooter was.

    RH Twist vsLH Twist

    Thanks. Didn't think there was but just thought I'd ask.

    RH Twist vsLH Twist

    So out of curiosity are there any ballistic apps the take in consideration say right twist compared to left twist and RH shooter compared to LH shooter? I know my app asks for twist direction but nothing about the shooter's. Or if it's insignificant and just falls under spin drift?

    If you look below in (similar threads) I think you'll find what you are looking for. You should have gotten a notification when you started posting your thread. A lot of redundant post are a waste. Good luck

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Saw a guy open carrying

    I live in Oregon and the law here is pay a fee if want to carry concealed OR carry open for free. So with that being said what would you do? Another thing is this; if you have a hunting or fishing license or going to or form a range or going to or from hunting or fishing you can carry...

    Savage Rifles on the Front Lines

    I remember reading that David used a sling! I also remember everyone on both sides were laughing at him! I'll take a Savage any day, but I also know how to use them . Most always its the shooter not the gun!

    Tikka T3X in .284 or 6.5-284 ?

    I have a mountain rifle that was probably built in the late 70's . It's built on a Sako action and was imported by Stoeger. Originally I think Marlin was buying these action from Stoeger and trying to compete in the bolt action market. Remember the Marlin 'micro groove rifling barrels'...
