  1. Those .44 Carbines have gotten PRICY!!! Wish I had one or 5.
  2. Was showing 0* around sunrise. Camera at the other big feeder pen has been iced over - Can't see shit, but temps correspond. Somebody asked how accurate I thought that was - My response was - don't care / don't want to find out.
  3. This little guy is hunkering down like all of TX.
  4. Full forgiveness on two companies from round 1. One of those met the criteria for round two so that application is in, approved by the bank, and waiting SBA funding.
  5. You could lease that in a heartbeat. Look for some low hanging fruit among friends, family, and business associates. That's a perfect size and spot for one large family group, or a small group of buddies. It would be a pain in the ass to just advertise and then cobble together 7-12 random guys, but if you had a deal where you have one point of contact for a family, business, or close knit group, it would be a peace of cake and you'd get very competitive rates.
  6. 1234
  7. Oh- and if you register for an account the GB, it gives you the ability to search past / closed auctions so you can see what stuff actually sold for. Much better pricing guide than just seeing what a current listing is. A lot of those current listings can be “make me sell it” prices that just automatically re-list until some gets desperate or dumb. Doesn’t mean it’s a real market price one could expect. Look at recently sold models with multiple bids for a better gauge.
  8. Gunbroker, texasguntrader, gunsamerica. Or post on here and just specify FFL transfers only to avoid being held up in a Denny’s parking lot.
  9. Plenty of these in the coming days- not so much on what you actually typed. Sorry.
  10. Point well taken.
  11. It'll be a tough road to bring them back, but I think CZ has a good chance to do it. They're a gun company, and not a hedge fund or similar holding company. We've all seen how well those operations pan out.
  12. Long rumored, the CZ acquisition of Colt is done. Probably no better fit for Colt, as CZ is intent on manufacturing quality guns, and will take that same focus to Colt. Hopefully, they'll restore some of the shine that Colt products had lost. Along with the Dan Wesson brand and their own handguns, CZ now has an interesting and historical portfolio for sure.
  13. Yeah _ can't honestly think of any time when I really had to make a snap shot out of a box blind when I was unable to carefully and quietly manage a longer barrel. I think in theory, yeah they are cumbersome, but in reality its not that big of a deal.
  14. CZ 6.5 Gren. There's your huckleberry.....just not for a southpaw (yet)!
  15. I wouldn't say CZ is underrated, because no one questions their quality. Underappreciated may be more appropo. Handguns and rifles and rifles both. Same could be said for Howa rifles. No one questions the quality of CZ or Howa, they just don't receive the attention they deserve (although CZ has a huge following in the race gun market).
  16. Exhibit 1A in the "Don't Shoot Me" category! 3 years old this season. No chest, long legs, 6-pack abs. Should add enough bone to be high 130's as a 4 year old after camping out at this feeder all spring. He'll be even better at 5 in the fall of 2022 if he doesn't take on a Ranch Hand grill guard one night.
  17. CZ 527 Helluva little left handed rifle. I've killed lots of deer with good .223 loads. He could practice his ass off without getting beat up. Many might say .223 is a marginal whitetail round, but having "guided" a lot of inexperienced hunters, I'd much rather them shoot a marginal round well, than a larger round poorly.
  18. One cannot honestly argue that the .243 or 7mm-08 wouldn't be excellent to perfect. .243 wins on universal ammo availability (in normal times) & 7mm-08 wins in selection of various grain weight bullets. I will say this. I have a buddy who shoots a lot with a 6.5 Grendel on an AR platform, and he got his son a Howa Mini-Action in 6.5 Grendel bolt rifle so they could share ammo. That is a sweet, minimal recoil, carbine sized rifle that is a joy to shoot. CZ makes one too and they are great little rifles. Ammo is a concern, as it isn't going to be on the shelf in a random hardware store like a .243, but its a deer killing round and would be great for a small framed shooter.
  19. It's the long game. As was debated upthread, a lot of small "reasonable" (on their face value) compromises that appear to be hard to argue "if you aren't doing something wrong.." end up being death by a thousand paper cuts.
  20. If that gomer also thinks that Anderson is a legacy, I wouldn't trust him if he said water is wet. He clearly is getting his recruiting news from what's written on the walls of a 7/11 bathroom and regurgitating what little he can remember.
  21. Honestly, I don't know at this point. I'm not "local" anymore so I don't handle the ordering. I just show-up, pay-up and shut-up.
  22. Before I moved, I had a place where I could go shoot ringnecks (not the runners - the eurasians) whenever I wanted. My gun of choice was a Model 12 16ga with #6 loads. Just like in those pigeon shoots....those suckers can take a lick and can cost you a lot of money or a long walk if they aren't DRT.
  23. That is the gun I knew he was going to post on Friday. He sent out a teaser earlier this week. That rifle was posted and sold for that price in less than 24-hours. He is a meticulous grader and points out every blemish in his ads so you can compare and contrast his description vs. what you have and be the judge of yours in comparison. You have a valuable rifle regardless.
  24. Yep- as Archie would sing- “Those were the days...”
