Ralph, If you don't find the wood you are looking for try the Birchwood Casey Tru-oil refinishing kit. I just refinished my Grandfathers model 70 he bought in 1947 and the stock looks outstanding! I carried it all deer season and it held up and shot great!

I heard on the news this morning that Redfield has gotten 92" since last tuesday with more on the way!! No thanks that!

The leaders from the flashers to the bait looked fairly long as well.

And nearly every lure and flasher was silver or some other basic color. No Pattern overload like we recreational guys try to navigate

I think you need to be pretty diligent with your between shot cleaning regimen or your accuracy will go to hell. When all the fouling builds up in the rear of the barrel the bullet will never seat the same way, thus your point of impact will never be quite the same. In most hunting situations you will probably be firing from a clean/cold bore so that is how I try to sight mine in. Hope this helps. Good luck.

For those imterested Olympia arms is making an ar platfrom style rifle in 22-250. Also, the one thing I have seen mentioned in load selection is the rate of twist in your barrel. If its a slower twist it will generally oerform better with a lighter projectile. I have a heavy barrel thumbhole Howa 1500 and it shot poorly with a 50gr or heavier bullet. But, when I tried the 40 gr Hornady V-max it put 4 shots in a bottle top at 200 yds. Whatever you choose, experiment with your ammo until you are happy with the performance. No matter what yiou are chasing!! Good Luck!

We caught an 8.5# walleye on Ontario in August on a standard size green nuclear stinger as a slider on a 105 rigger back when the water was crazy warm after that long stretch on NW winds

Plus you can use the net to clean the cans out of the live well Dan!

FLX and CDGN, Will there be modeling poses taken with fish this weekend as well?? :lol: Just remembering a certain photo from Lake O with a Salmon or two!

Surprised it took you that long to respond Dan! You want to see dust, you ought to look at the Alumacraft! Last time it was out it was just a diving board for the kids! Hoping to get one more perch trip in before she goes to sleep for a few months.

You can also attribute the new "fads" to the lure companies marketing "the next best thing!" Which in reality is meant to catch the fisherman as much or more than the fish. When the lure has been purchased their job is 98% done!

I have many magda's, a coldwater and a clarion. The Clarion is an awesome reel, much better than the coldwater for not much more money. If you can find the clarion somewhere which doesn't charge sales tax the clarion is basically the same money as the coldwater if not cheaper. I have ordered things from www.jaxcattackle.com and have been very pleased. I am unhappy with the coldwater for the same reasons as mentioned above.

Forget the ruler, it goes the cooler is priceless!
