If I'm not buthering I'll try bringing my 450/400 Zoli along

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Phil, If you're flying in I can pick you up at the airport.

Thanks Mike but I ferried the last plane in a couple days ago and am picking up the frozen meat tonight and hopefully it will thaw in time to finish butchering by the weekend. Good thing I brought in a few extra boxes of ammo for the 450/400. I even have the 505 with me.

I'll be there 10-1130 with a few doubles, a 10 and 2 8s, + a howdah and my 4-bore single and lots of ammo (at a wide range of levels) if anyone wants to give'em a shot. I'll also have a Navy Arms copy of a Greener Light Harpoon gun and a few dummy harpoons to chrono and play with. Come on out!

I'm looking forward to it!

Do you think you can hit a bowling pin at 50 yds with a harpoon?

I thought this was an infantry match - I didn't know artillery was coming to. Next thing you know the drones will be flying over. haha

BrettAKSCI

I'll see. I'll like be up to the task. Unfortunately the double is in "hawk" with Walter. Perhaps Walter has a new owner for her by now.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

I am. Walter Earl down at the Antique Gallery has it. I'm wanting to upgrade to an ejector gun at 10.5-11lbs. Unfortunately I have to sell my gun before I upgrade.

Sounds like a plan. Send him over.

He'll probably already know where it's at Jack. But if not tell him to turn right at North Birchwood and turn right at the airport area. He'll smell the burnt powder!

I'd love to make it as I've been invited to shoot doubles with at least one of the posters here, on other forums, and I just purchased a new Sabatti in 45-70.

Alas, I'm deployed, and will have to wait for "next time" yet again.

Enjoy guys.

Snowwolfe, I'm still going to take you up on that offer to shoot your 9.3x74 whenever I make it back to AK for more than a few weeks.

21 October 2010, 00:03

Mike Brooks

If you're the one that has the sabatti out at AkCG.. I saw it yesterday! It looks nice! I left my number with Steve so you can contact me when you get back from the sandbox.
Then we can go out and play with it.

Keep your head down!

21 October 2010, 00:40

AK_Stick

Yes, that would be mine!

Picked her up while in TX training for the deployment, I know its not the nicest gun in the world, but at 25, its a double I can afford, so it had to be mine.

21 October 2010, 01:57

Mike Brooks

Cool! Make sure you check in when you come back and I'll make sure that you're introduced to the 'gang'. When's your scheduled return to the world?

21 October 2010, 13:55

AK_Stick

I'll be home in November for leave, but I won't be home for good till about july of next year.

23 October 2010, 02:46

Akshooter

Just a few hours away and it looks like I will make it this time.

I guess I better make sure I have ammo loaded up.

I have to make an appointment in Talkeetna tonight and probably will have to stay through the weekend as well. Dang guys, sorry I'm going to miss it.

23 October 2010, 04:09

BrettAKSCI

The Hollis will be out for the day. Talked to Mike Brooks and he got a last minute work call. Hopefully we'll have a few more show up.

Brett

23 October 2010, 08:56

Mike Brooks

Yeah and I'm really bummed out about it too! But since this is the end of my season and it'll be a long time yil the next paycheck I need to keep at it. I am glad that all the ammo I loaded up won't spoil overnight.

A good time today. Unfortunately I had to leave early.

Not doubles, but we did confirm that both the harpoon gun and 4-bore should be adequate for baby seal defense.

If you look close, there is a 1" diameter hole right between the eyes, which is much more difficult than a frontal brain shot on an elephant due to target size. In the event of a charge I think the preferred technique is to use the harpoon to pin'em to the ice, then the rifle to finish'em off.

My wife says the same thing. I try to explain that I can't afford a therapist because I have to spend all of my money on rifles and hunting.

Here's the final picture with assorted 4-bore, harpoon, and 577 holes. Note the black eyes full of hate.

AkJeff and another gent were out there looking for you guys. (no luck finding you) The other gent had an Army Navy, 450 #2.

We were at the last 50 yard range before you hit the first 100 yard range from before 10am till almost 1 PM.

24 October 2010, 09:18

Omnivorous_Bob

Sorry we missed them! Due to the number of folks there (very crowded for a a chilly Nov day) the 50 yard range had the most room.

Next time we should be more explicit about where to meet and what everyone is driving. I should be able to make it next Saturday at the same time barring anything unforeseen.

So long you all didn`t use a flamethrower on fluffy white babyseals, I guess the Animals right protection could settle with 4bores and hapoons

Sorry we missed you guys! When we drove in, we saw what was either a LEO training class, or "tactical" fans of some sort on the shorter ranges and breezed right on by. Man was it packed. When we signed in, we asked the RO if he knew where you guys were, but he didn't know anything. Hopefully next time. Sure was a great day to shoot...this weather can't last much longer!
