On April seventh I added a new caliber to my reloading bench when I picked up a Savage 99 at the Tipton Gun Show.
Well, ten days later I drove to Ohio to get another 300 Savage. This time it was a Remington Model 81 Woodsmaster. It came with a period correct Weaver scope in an offset mount...
I was there last month. Unfortunately the museum was closed the days we were there but we visited the cemetery. We spent a couple hours there walking around and finding the gravesite. Lots of history there beyond the graves of Duane, Greg, Berry and Butch. You will also find the inspirations for...
I have a 455 in a spotter configuration in a walnut stock and that gun never fails to impress me. It’s capable of way more precision and accuracy than what I can produce.
I will be at the Greentown show as a paying customer. I only set up at shows every two-three years when I and some shooting buddies have enough things we want to move on to warrant paying for a table or two
I was in there early today. It seemed there were a few vendors who are usually there may have skipped this one but there was plenty of what always brings me to the Tipton show, blue steel and walnut. Attendance seemed much lower than usual during the early hours. The aisles were not as crowded...
I picked up a Savage 99 in .300 Savage at the Tipton Gun Show today. The rifle is outfitted with a Redfield aperture sight and a very cleverly designed cheek riser on the comb of the stock. There is a fair amount of finish wear but everything seems to be in good working order.
Now I have to...
I stopped into Grand Lake Guns in Celina, OH while driving home from Columbus yesterday afternoon when I spied this well used but not abused K22. Timing and lock up is good and the gun shows a good bit of finish wear on the barrel. The gun dates to 1948. The grips are period correct but are nor...
Saturday April 14 is the date. I talked to the promoter yesterday and she told me that all tables have been sold for this show.
Its not the biggest show, but it is a show were I rarely don't find something I can't live without.
I boiled my last batch on Saturday. Much darker product than my earlier cooks. The flavor is much more bold than the first couple of batches. I learned a lot in this my first season of syrup making and I’m looking forward to increasing my output next spring.
Spring Mill State Park near Bedford would be a perfect place to set up down there. Lots of hiking in the park, a restored historic village (grist mill is under repair this year) and some caves to explore.
Several other cave attractions are in the area also. We have visited Marengo (45 minutes)...
I had an early TP9sa. It had the best trigger I ever experienced on a polymer frame pistol. I am normally not too impressed by tactical Tupperware, but I was very impressed with the quality, accuracy and reliability of the pistol. I would recommend Canik to anyone looking for a pistol in that...
