Re: Hunting in the Adirondacks

Thank u for the info re: limbsaver. Have used them on my milsurps--we have a monthly match limited to military rifles/pistols (or clones thereof) circa 1953 or earlier. Solved the recoil problem with my Model 8 by leaving it in the safe until my next elk hunt! Doesn't hurt if u don't shoot it--- Sor...

Re: West Texas Hunting 2012

Hey Sherman--Hope u are still in the forum! Congrats on your assignment to Ft Bliss. I was at WSMR in another life (late 1980s). Great small game hunting (esp quail) on McGreggor Range as well. You should be allowed to hunt the missile range--some nice large mulies in past days, and a lot of country...

Re: Hunting in the Adirondacks

Good to hear from you! IIRC, there was an Air Force base near Tullahoma. Arnold Air Force Station?? Always liked the Cumberland Plateau--cooler in summer than east TN, but prefer the mountains at home (Oak Ridge). My first 81 was in .30 Rem. Fun to shoot, esp. compared to my 8 in .35 Rem! I would li...

Re: Hunting in the Adirondacks

Mr Bandersnatch---Almost a year, but I am back online. Notice you are in "lower Alabama"--I'm from east Tennessee. Spent some very enjoyable days in AL (aside from our football rivalry--Go Vols!!). Ft McClellan & Montgomery. Have 2 other Rem autos--a M8 in .25 and 81 in .300. Really en...

Re: Hunting in the Adirondacks

A big reason we love our Rem 8 & 81 rifles is nostalgia for simpler and, IMO, better times. Pics of hunting camps back in the day--esp. featuring our fav rifles--are icing on the cake!

But---My 8 in .35 Rem. is no fun to shoot from the bench!

Re: williams sights

Back in the day, Williams had an economy version of their receiver sights called the "5D"--stood for $5, so you know it was a long time ago. The only difference between the 5D and the more spendy Williams peep sight was the lack of "clicks" on the 5D. Not sure about current Willi...
