    Maggie’s Found a Treasure

    My wife loves bookstores and over Christmas break followed her into a bookstore in Santa Fe. Pretty eclectic place with both new and used books many just stacked in piles. I happened upon this by chance. First printing from 1943 and in very good condition. As a kid I probably watched the...

    Graddous No. 1V

    Robert Graddous rebarreled and accurized a Ruger No. 1V for me in 220 Swift and finished the rifle a couple of months before he passed away. It took him over 18 months to work on it and the only one No. 1 he rebarreled. It was a labor of love for him and he would call me regularly to go over...

    I remember watching the first two Super Bowls and they had marching bands playing which didn't detract from the game. Now it seems its a half time show with a game thrown in. Turned the game off at halftime.

    Time for a Third Party

    Our politicians have failed us miserably and have dragged us down to this dangerous path which threatens the very core of the Republic. They have forsaken the tenets of our founding to pursue their own self interest as well as lust for power over those of the people they are elected to...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Calibration

    When calibrating scopes using the tall target test by shooting groups always felt there were several variables that were difficult to control and would mount the scope on my most accurate rifle for the test. Being a bit on the OCD side I built a calibration stand in my shop out of 2.5"...

    Just finished the book "Race of Aces" chronicling the exploits of fighter pilots in the south Pacific during WWII. Good read about America's top aces and unfortunately many of them did not survive the war.

    Hunting & Fishing Skunked again

    Another year and unsuccessful for all my draw applications for New Mexico. Think this was year number eight for not drawing an elk tag and frankly starting to loose count. Really sucks when you are a tax paying resident of the state and can't draw a tag. I hate those f##king outdoor shows...

    Brady Center Requests Emails

    https://www.abqjournal.com/1297090/sheriffs-emails-sought-in-gunlaw-battle.html Well I guess Libtards don't like it when Sheriff's in 30 of 33 counties say they won't enforce the gun laws signed by our idiot governor (note; I will not capitalize the G for this person) .
