Ruger's 77/22 And The Sting Of The Hornet Part 1

No rock-a-billy, no 60’s rock, no Neil Young, no Jackson Browne… not even the Eagles. Today it is all Commodores and singing along with front man Lionel Richie. Great voice, mellow fellow and I can actually understand the words to his songs. Anyway… The Ruger 77 Series rifles: 77/44, 77/357, […] [Read More]

Browning's BAR LongTrac Part 2

The Browning BAR is drilled and tapped for scope bases. I picked up a Warne one piece base that was catalog illustrated with continuous Weaver/Picatinny slots, but it actually has only a couple of slots that don’t offer much latitude in ring placement. A simple two piece Millet base set […] [Read More]

Remington’s Model 700 Chassis Pistol Part 2

With nasty politics permeating virtually public channels of communication, and political discourse falling to a new low, I decided to drop out and find a healthier endeavor, but only until election day. There is much greater satisfaction in cutting up a tomato from the garden for a dinner salad, than […] [Read More]

Smith & Wesson’s Performance Center M&P 45 Shield Part II

So far, this has been what I can only term an agricultural year. My wife and I put in a couple of raised vegetable gardens and some grow bags and we are well on our way to a harvest of potatoes, peppers, corn, onions… three kinds, carrots, beans, strawberries, and […] [Read More]
