heinzman357Anybody else hunt with a single shot?
Yes, I do!
Here is my Blaser K95, model: Black Edition, cal: 270 Win and has a straigth stock.
The scop is a Zeiss, 2,5x10-50, reticle: 56.
The shooting performance is excellent, 3 shot groups @100m below 15mm.
Best regards

p dog shooterI should take my NO.1 hunting again.
My family and I have killed a lot of game with it.
It fell out of favor to a savage 99.

Just because.

JeffreyPhDI see this thread has been going a long time, but somehow I missed it. A small collection of Ruger No. 1s has a home here. But, I've only taken anything with a 1S in 300 H&H. Red Stag, Zebra, Warthog, Impala, Springbok, Hartebeest, Gemsbok, Kudu, and Eland. Love that rifle. Hope one day to take something with a No. 1 RSI in 7x57. It is a joy to handle and shoots far better than it has any right to do.

AtkinsonFunny thing happened at the farm!!
My nephew and I were driving around on the ranch checking fence and since it was deer season I took my Ruger no. 1-S 30-06. Good move as a huge whitetail and I mean huge ran in front of us about 75 or so yards, I bailed out and stuck a round in my rifle and the action didn't close, so I gave it my best muscle group and it closed but didn't fire and Mr. monster buck lived to fight another day..I looked at my gun and powder on my hand and stock and on the ground lay half a 30-06 case, I had cut it in half..
finished checking fence and back to the house and in the shop to get the other half of the case out of the chamber...Hows that for a severe case of buck fever for someone thats been shooting big deer for near 50 years at the time..exhilerating!! and my nephew was laughing his ass off the rest of the day, retold the story at least 15 times and to everyone that would listen. His description of an old fart shaking like a dog pissing a peach seed owned the moment...

mokiMy oldest son is moving from Abbotsford to New Brunswick moving truck is picking up their stuff this Wed Nov 3/21
He just left my house with a non-restricted stainless T/C Contender carbine with a 21" 7-30 Waters barrel, a 21" vent rib 410 barrel, 21" 223 barrel and a 16.5" 22LR match chambered barrel.
He also took his grandfathers 30-06 and my dad's best friends Pre 64 1894 30-30 rifles and enough ammo to last his life time.
He has two son's 4 and 8 years old (my grandson's) so I also included a super short butt stock and another stock that would fit his wife.
These combo's should cover them for all game that is available to hunt in NB.

TomPJust barely got my hands on a Stevens Favorite finally, plan to put a new extractor in it and make use of it.
I don't have the peep sight figured out yet, do not want to drill/tap the receiver.
There should be a way to put one on the barrel dovetail.

Bill/OregonSome wonderful photos here all right. Thanks to Moki and to SKB.
That .375 JDJ was a handful in a Contender pistol I had, but I can just imagine that it is the nuts out of the carbine.
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

mokiMy older son took a 2x2 blacktail this last Tuesday he used my 14" T/C Contender carbine in 338JDJ #2 loaded with 180gr Accubonds @ 2500fps.
For some reason neither of us took a picture of it I still have the hide head I'll see if I can get a picture before I dispose of it.
He is moving across the country to New Brunswick so I supplied him with several of our rifles.
For single shots I gave him a T/C Contender carbine with 4 barrels a 16.5" 22LR match chamber, a 21" 223, 21" 7-30 Waters and a 21" 410 shotgun.
Also gave him 3 buttstocks in different lengths so my two grandsons ages 4 and 8 will be able to shoot it as the get older.

HipshootI know this is a little off topic but for me and my older brother in 1953 my father bought for Christmas a M15 Stevens single shot .22 (pulled a knob to cock it)! Due to being a single shot and not having much (read any) money I learned to be a GREAT SHOT! A couple of friends a couple a years later had semi auto's and did the SPRAYED AND PREYED method of shooting. I rarely missed because I made my shots count and had limited funds for ammo!

I started with a Cooey 22 single shot paid $12 for it used never thought about it before but that could be why I like single shots so much

My two son's and I went out this morning will be the last time in many years that we all can hunt together older son and his family are flying to New Brunswick tomorrow morning to start a new life.
Rifles we took = me 14" barreled Contender in 338JDJ #2, older son used our 22" barreled Prohunter in 30-06 he shot his nicest blacktail buck ever with this rifle younger son shot the 19" Contender in 6.8SPc
We also took along my Browning BL22 22 rifle and new to use last week 14" Contender in 17HMR
Only saw one grouse - no deer but we all had a good time shooting up pumpkins

mokiMajor flooding is happening where I live I am under an evacuation order to leave our home I'm lucky I did not leave on my moose hunt
due to wash outs mud slide bridges out etc etc if I had left I would never have gotten back
I have 3 deer hanging in a butcher shop that is more in the epicenter of the flooding I drove there this morning they were still high and dry
When I got home I learnt that the order had been issued
