Here is a photo I took today. Garands are pretty traditional? Right?
Very traditional! Although I've never fired one I would imagine it to be lots of fun.
Take care,
Rick

I could live quite happily with this as my only centerfire rifle. The knife is a nice piece and quite capable, but I'd need a pocket knife to complete the kit.
I'm certainly no expert on stag, actually just ordered my second one from GEC, but I love the stag on your knife. I'm thinking there's not much around like that anymore.
Have a great Sunday!

That combo would work very nicely for anything I'm going to hunt. The straight tube Leupold is exactly as I would scope it also. Is it by chance the RSI version? With the mannlicher stock?I could live quite happily with this as my only centerfire rifle. The knife is a nice piece and quite capable, but I'd need a pocket knife to complete the kit.

Ruger No. 1 International?It's not an RSI, but the 6.5x55 Swede is...
I have a couple of those Kimber 82G. Mine were the less expensive "rusty" model. Funny name since there was not a speck of rust on them. It looks like you won the wood lottery. That is a beautiful piece of walnut!
Here are some better photos he took before he sent me the knife.Thank you for your kind words. When I ordered the knife from Dan, he commented that I lucked out because the stag he ended up using was exceptional. If I remember I'll put up a couple of his photos that capture the stag a little better tomorrow.

Keeping it on topic with a picture of my buck 503 and Henry 45-70 case hardened
I appreciate the kind words. Dan sells his knives for reasonable prices here in the knife makers for sale area of this forum and he has a very good reputation. I have nothing but good things to say after working with him on two custom orders.That is a stunning fixed blade hunting knife.
A beautiful knife and huntin' combo you have there, 1 155440 .
I've always liked the .45-70. Very versatile.
Round balls with black powder for squirrels and rabbit, to any 4 legged critter on the planet, depending on your load.
(Yes, a guy took "The Big 7" of Africa a while back using a 47-70 Marlin 1895 Guide Gun with Garrett Cartridges ammunition. Details on Garrett's website.)
That was the reason I decided on 45-70. Something that would be effective within 50 yards on anything I could think of, and make a decent emergency gun in bear country when I go camping (Primary line of offense is Bear Spray).
Haha. I know it can but the question is can I?Oh, I think you'd be surprised how well that lever gun can do out past 50 yards
