Three of us bought 1911's at the same time about 15 years ago. A TLE II ,45 . A PRO IN 45 . And I got a Target II 10 mill. The pro ran great. The TLE went back for jamming problems and ran fine after. I couldn't get a full mag through my Target II without a stove pipe or ftf . First I tried different mags, bought 2 extras . I let others shoot it to make sure it wasn't me even know I'd had other 1911's, I made a call and they sent a new recoil spring ., but it still persisted. Next was a new bushing and cross pin but that didn't work either. At that point I was done and sent it down the road for another Colt. If you find one that runs stick with it. I'll never buy another.

I got mine at the North Store ( Camp Perry ) some time ago so I can't say anything about getting it through the mail but it seems painless. From the many times I've been to the store I'd at least get a service grade. If you haven't already , check out the CMP Forum if I'm not breaking any rules. I think Perry is pretty much closed down right now but everyone should go to the Nationals at least once. You might even be interested in the Game Matches once you find one. A really good time, and a great rifle with history. The one I shoot is a 42 Springfield with a 55 Springfield bbl and puts them in the black at 200 yards if I do my part

Thanks again guys, I ended up with a happy medium I think with the General AT's 33-12's. Could have done 35's on this 250 but didn't want to kill the 3.73's for towing and they should be fine aired down. Thanks again

I have to agree with your assessment of the 284 WN, arguably one of the first short mags . It looked good on paper though. My M88 308 shoots about 1 1/2 moa with my best hunting loads. I lean towards 165 gn Nosler Partitions in mine . It really don't like a pure copper bullet like a barns ? They don't do bad for having a screw half way down the barrel like the M70's of the time. But make up for it in how quick they come to your shoulder and fast on a second shot if you need it.

I guess I should have said in the mod. 88 Winchester we were talking about. It just didn't work out in that platform. At least the ones I've shot and heard about . Not to say there are some out there that shoot well.

I don't think I've ever heard of a good shooting .284 . It was a hot round but always wanted a .358 for the bigger game. My .308 does everything I ask of it.

In my neck of the woods 20 years ago you would see a bunch of people using 760/7600 pumps. I used a 760/.270 for a few years. Now it seams a lot of guys need a magnum bolt gun to kill deer. That 88 looks like the brother to my 88 ,a 1965. Mine wears a leapold vx3,3x9. They were a great woods rifle. My go to for many years. Still is

Thanks again,. Ya after working in the oilfield for the last 36 years I've driven on most AT & MT tires up here in 3 states ,mud,snow shale and rock but driving on the beach is a different animal. No bottom to it and don't throw the throttle to it if your getting in trouble . I've ran both gen. BFG AT's and have KO2's on my work F250 now. I had them on the Raptor but it was made for sand and such. I'm leaning towards Cooper AT3 HXP for an all around tire. Just have to stay away from big mud. Thanks again.

Thanks guys, ya I think my biggest prob with the diesel was the factory tires and not being able to air down enough, never driving on sand before . Googan. This one is a gasser so I'm thinking bout as big of an AT tire that will fit under the fenders and still haul well.

We hunt game lands 86 in PA most of the time. It's a mod.88 Winny .308 for me and my brother uses a Savage 99F .243. Works for us.

Hay everyone, I'm looking to replace the tires on my 2019 F250 and didn't want to barge in on the other thread for the taco. I just traded off my first gen raptor that went great on the obx only dropping to 30#. The F250 I had before it was a diesel and sank like a rock but wasn't really set up right . I need to pull a 5th wheel hence the trade so can't get real big on the tires. I'm thinking a 33/12/18 should do the trick but not sure. All help will be appreciated, thanks

Need help finding budget freindly conventional reel and rod
Dsc replied to fronty's topic in Distance Casting Forum
I was in the same boat as you after the first time fishing Hatteras. Fished up and down the east but didn't really need as much distance. After some great input from here and a bait shop in Rodanthe and a little self restraint $$$. I'm using abu 6000-7000 size reels , sometimes a Squidder on a Penn Prevail , Carnage for my bait rigs. If I was you I'd use the rod you have and either a 6000-6500 rocket or an older same size 6000 with flat sides and bearing caps on both sides. With some practice,17# running line. 50# shock you will break 100 yards on the grass and you will get the itch to tune the reel. Fast bearings, loose the levelwind and a mag. The round sided reels suck for a tune. Have fun and practice, practice, practice. -
My brother and I use Penn Squidders in the OBX surf. Although from PA we do a lot of field casting. I just use Abu oil in mine, have a bunch of it . Probably close to 3n1 oil. The biggest thing I found is using either the plastic or aluminum spool in it. His has the chrome spool and can hammer it out but he can cast most anything.i got an aluminum for mine ,tighten the bearing cap hand tight. Put on some 30 big game with a 4 or 5 oz bank sinker and practice,practice and practice. Big game is cheap so buy a few spools of it . They are real fast on the cast but slow and powerfully on the way back. You will get it with enough practice. Good luck

If you don't mind spending some cash talk to Ryan at Hatteras Jack's. He spun me up an 8 1/2 foot SS spinning rod with split cork handle that's great for anything from an oz.and a half down and a 9' KNE conventional with cork handle like a musky or salmon rod for up to about 4 oz. Both Century's. They both work great in the surf and up here in sweet water. I didn't mind spending the money on those rods knowing I'd use them in both places. My heavers are Penn's. Tight lines
