Rod,
Sometimes it feels like the "Fruits" took the pictures.
The holster was hand made by a good friend, who has since moved back to Idaho. He is half Sioux Indian. He calls it a "Prairie Spook Special". It's very easy to carry. The radical angle makes for easy access to the pistol.
Tac,
I'm afraid I'll have to file an environmental impact statement on the bag of sand. "The Oregon State Sand Accountability Department "will have an investigator at your door within the week. Look for a Vespa with a three sided flag on it
Clint,
Cain't hunt no "Bar" with dawgs here in Auragone. 'Taint legal to use 'em.
You can run them to ground with dogs during a specified season in the spring, but you have to let them go.
As for the .375 H&H. He uses a 300 grain load that shoots as flat as table out to about 300 yds., and hits hard. Some of these clear-cuts are a mile, or so, wide.
I was packing an old 98 Mauser 8MM loaded with 220 gr. handloads. What my Uncles used to call a "pick-up" gun. It's the one you "pick-up" when you decide on the spur of the moment that you want to head out to the woods. Kind of a utility rifle. This one is very accurate with a Lyman 57 receiver sight on it.
