Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

I almost bought a Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55 a couple of years ago. I kind of wish I hadn't passed it up. From what I hear it's an excellent cartridge. Good luck with your hunt @315, maybe this is the year for that rifle.

 

My buddy has a little Remington model 7 youth in .260 Rem I’d like to have. Same ballistics. Marketing really makes a difference!!!

 

My "go to" deer rifle is a 6.5 Swede that I sporterized about 30 years ago. I load a 140gr bullet at about 2650 fps, and it is an amazing medium game rifle. I've probably taken 5 deer with it, and a couple of smaller hogs. (I don't get to hunt every year..)
Last year, I went "off the reservation" and used my .308 to take my deer, but the 6.5 would have worked just as well.
I think you will really enjoy hunting with one... great caliber..

 

Thats basically what I load mine to. I’m eating tag soup, but still had a great trip!

 

@Horsewright

There be pirates matey....

To quote Ward Bond in the Searchers...watch that knife!

 

Yep I always call it the pretty pirate pic!

 

Wow just realized that was the totally wrong pic for this thread! Thats for another thread. Here's whats was suppose to be posted:

 

There's something about a woman with a knife in her teeth.

 

Yeah and that something depends on whether she still likes you or not

 

Uh she has two knives, one in use

 

Good eye! She carries her edc behind her left hip. Ya can just see it sticking out a bit.

 

A Case and a Marlin; both from the seventies! Obviously, the Case has seen more action, but both are more than ready and able to go again.

 

Lotsa mighty good arn there, Paul.

 

Thanks Cal.

 

This is one of my favorite threads. Great pics everyone!

 

Here's a pair. The Case Moose is several years older than the Ruger.

Have a blessed day,
