Some friends of ours, the same ones who were kind enough to put RealGuns.Com together and who bail us out when tech glitches arise, put together a new site TalkingConservatively.Com. No, it is not a great right wing conspiracy, it is just social media without a political review committee and […]

A 7mm-08 Remington Lightweight Mountain Rifle Part 1

Remington's Model Seven Threaded in Kuiu Vias Camo
10/16/2019 Maine is beautiful in the fall, the temperatures are cool and the air is clean. So here I am, an old man sitting on this stone fence, with the sun struggling to find its way through the trees, fall leaves underfoot, eating a sandwich, and listening to David Allan […]
Browning's X-Bolt Hunter
10/21/2019 So I was walking the woods behind the shop and, when I ran out of trail, I began to walk along a stone fence to avoid the brush. Camera in hand and stepping over a fallen branch, a moss covered rock under my back foot gave way and gravity […]

Marlin's 444 Marlin Part II
Ah yes, I remember when a work day was comprised of suiting up and working through a new product presentation or presenting quarterly financials to board members. My basic objective was to justify my position and salary, while they were there mostly for a report of no problems, free donuts […]
Marlin's 336 Dark Series 30-30 WCF
Summer is at an end, fall is not being shy in its arrival and only about half of the planned projects around the house and shop were completed. It wasn’t so much poor planning or time estimating that rendered our Gantt chart and network diagram irrelevant, as much as unplanned […]
Marlin's 444 Marlin Part I
If you told me that the 444 Marlin is the best cartridge for medium to large game, 50 to 1500 lbs, I would probably say, “Uh-huh“. If you told me the 444 Marlin serves no distinct purpose, I would probably do the same. In a world of cartridges and rifles […]
