    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Makes ya wonder if the folks making these policies actually read the final product? 🤔 As someone whose been caught between deer drives on public land in FA season, I can tell you I wish I had more orange on than I did. I see no need for it during squirrel season. Rabbit, bird and FA deer, sure...

    We have to wear it all the time while small game hunting here in PA. Sucks, but rules is rules.

    Agreed Tim. I just don't wanna be killed for lack of shooting back.😉

    It's not a fluke if that's what you intended. Try some .018 patch material. As far as front sight, a little testors model paint will help.

    They will be tasty. Too bad you aren't within beer run range, I bottled these up mid week (last), they have potential, but I like to give it 2 weeks to meld before I pass judgement 😉

    Crockett nipple wrench

    I have one that will fit the factory nipple perfectly. But not the TOTW one I replaced it with.

    Heck yeah Tim. Hopefully you can get out again soon. I know I want to. Found a new recipe I want to try, so I need about 4 tender, delicious greys. I'll settle for 2 though.

    It's the only thing I look forward to going to Walmart for. I don't know why I just don't get a subscription. I've been buying it off the rack forever. I can't explain half the dumb things I do or don't do Cruiser. If I was rich, I'd be called eccentric, but since I'm not, I'm just garden...

    Ed nailed er right on the button with stock placement. And when shooting from the bench, angle your torso as if you were holding it across you out body, not a square 90 degrees. With that stock design, it will give better sight alignment holding the stock between your bicep and armpit.

    Anyone recognize this rifle?

    Try a good cleaning to remove any old grease. That's helped me a few times. I hope you get the bugs worked out and can be there when your nephew takes his first shot with that beauty. Will be a powerful moment for sure.

    I like anything that goes "bang". Do have a soft spot in my cold, black heart for charcoal burners though. Crisco, I am guilty of owning and maintaining black rifle(s). May need em for when the North Koreans comes calling.🤣😉

    Only one I still get every issue of is Fur Fish & Game. Been "reading" it since before I could read as a little feller. One article I remember the most was written about a guys grandma. How she would shoot squirrel with a small caliber ML and make squirrel gravy for the kids. She used homemade...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I wonder if your short starter is too big in diameter and binding your patch? To shift your patch as described, that will affect your accuracy if bare lead (almost typed bare ball🤣) is touching the rifling. As mentioned in the other reply, the 3/4x3/4 is about perfect in my Crockett. I use a...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Some time back I ran out of pre cuts. I cut 3/4x3/4 square patches from .018 pillow ticking ( washed in hot water only twice and ran through the dryer high heat), never really paid much attention to top or bottom of patch. I lube right from the can of mink oil. Shoot groups I grin about. And I...
