    Winchester model 12 heavy duck

    I'm patient and have no problem waiting for a good deal. I picked up an old winchester model 1901 with a bent barrel and looked for 10 years before I found a clean original replacement. Now it's a fun gun to chase pheasants with.

    Winchester model 12 heavy duck

    I have no plans to but butcher anything up. If anything I'll pick up an extra barrel with a modified or adjustable choke and see if I can get it fit up properly.

    Winchester model 12 heavy duck

    It looks great next to my 1919 model 1912. A previous owner sanded down the lower rear part of its but stock so it would fit in an old leather breakdown case.

    Winchester model 12 heavy duck

    I'll pull the pad off and check to see if it has the lead that winchester added to the but stocks of the heavy duck guns. That should give me a good indication if it's the factory stock. I'll also keep my eyes open for the correct pump handle. I'm a little torn on putting the aftermarket pad on...

    Winchester model 12 heavy duck

    The gun shows some blueing loss under the front of the reciever from being carried, but everything is good and tight and I don't think it's been shot much. The stocks are in good shape, but they seem suspect to me. I picked it up knowing it was a 3 inch gun but assumed it was much later. After...

    Winchester model 12 heavy duck

    Hey all, I recently picked up this 1947 winchester model 12 heavy duck. From what I've been able to dig up online, it should have the red winchester but pad. Can anyone tell me if this thing has the correct stocks on it? I read somewhere that the Pachmair white line pad was an option, but I...

    XDM Grip Safety and Holster question…

    I have the same pistol and holster. When I carried them, I put the velcro strap around the back of the slide, not over the grip safety. That said, I only ran that setup one season chasing elk in colorado. For me I didn't like the idea of only having the 10mm when I had my bino harness on. Since...

    It's not you Factory 143 ELD-X, it's me. ;-) Can't shoot it! But can shoot 147 ELD-M.

    When ever I start working up a new load, I usually start with the projectile then work up 5 prospecting loads for each powder charge to see what kind of groups and velocity I get. Then I'll fine tune from there. Generally speaking, if you go slow enough I can get a decent patern from anything...

    It's not you Factory 143 ELD-X, it's me. ;-) Can't shoot it! But can shoot 147 ELD-M.

    I've seen the same results in my savage 10T 6.5 creedmoor. I primarily use mine for pronghorn and targets so don't mind the softer eldm's.

    ELD-X & ELD-M

    I've used hornady sst's, eldx's and eldm's for years in various rifles and have always had impressive groups. That being said, they have all been very explosive when you hit a bone. I've seen this several times on pronghorn and whitetails over the last 10 - 15 years. I worked up a load for my...

    New 7mm PRC

    For me, my 7mm rem mag isn't getting replaced. But for someone in the market for a new long range hunting rifle it looks like a great option.

    Hard cast bullets for Colorado?

    I already have several boxes and they pattern great. I used to use hornady 240 gr xtp's on white tail, but they have a tendency to come apart. My fear is hitting a paddle bone and blowing apart without passing through. That's why I started using hard cast in the first place.

    Hard cast bullets for Colorado?

    As a Colorado defense gun, ya it's way overkill. But for a big game hunting handgun, which is why I have it, it's great. 2 in groups at 50 yards, ya I think I can kill an elk. I was just curious if anyone else had any 1st hand experience with using hard cast hunting bullets in Colorado.

    Hard cast bullets for Colorado?

    I'll be heading to Colorado for the second rifle otc elk season and plan on carrying my 454 casull as a back up / bear defense weapon. I'll have my rifle strapped to the pack and want to be able to use the handgun if I bump an elk on the hikes in or out. It will also be my go to if i run across...
