Hello All,
I purchased my wife a 20 gauge Benelli Montefeltro earlier this year to serve as her all purpose waterfowl and upland gun. It's a nice, light carrying, smooth shooting unit and it's good looking too.
There is one problem we have encountered now a few times with it - the safety...
Took the wife to look at semi autos today at Scheels, led her to the black affinity 3, but she insists on the Select 20. The queen must have what she wants. It’ll look good in the gun cabinet, and with her pointed at pheasants and grouse
I have a 6.5x55 Swede Mauser, a real beauty that I’ve killed many deer with. Looking at potentially selling or trading it for something different.
Does anyone have any guidance on what it might be worth? I’m thinking around $1,000 or north of that even.
Info is as follows:
Swedish Mauser...
Bought me an affinity 3 and put my first 3 boxes through it over the weekend. That thing is smooth! Spit out everything I put in it and crushed clays. First thing everyone says is “dang that thing is light”
Have some pheasants wrapped up in the freezer from last year… who’s got a nice spring recipe to put them to good use. I have a pellet smoker at my disposal if need be.
I shoot an old Swedish 6.5x55 Mauser. It’s a beauty. Can be picky with ammunition though, and you don’t have a whole lot of options from the common ammunition producers especially these days. It gets the job done real well though.
Loved the podcast Randy - Always love hearing you expound upon your love for grouse hunting and your heritage! And always entertaining to hear you talk about the "lack of handiness" schtick
We have a fresh black bear kill here in central WI....8 am opening morning, the brother in law didn't waste any time! What are your favorite recipes? Specifically looking for a unique backstrap recipe and a bear ham in the smoker.
I agree with you Northwoods. I'm in Central Wisconsin and the kind of crap you hear sitting on a barstool is just shameful and embarrassing to us hunting who really care about the overall image of our community. People bragging about breaking federal laws by "gut shooting them"...
Hello from Central Wisconsin! New to the forum, introduced through the hunt talk podcast. Trout fisherman and chaser of small and big game, waterfowl and user of public land. Love the information put out there on the site. Never done a western hunt, but I'm hoping its in my near future.
