    Which scope for Ultralight

    At 200 yards the lower power the better unless your hunting rabbits. For dear size 4x works and more field of view. Goes with the ultra lite, looks right, handles right.

    I'm sorta glade it happened at home while dry firing, I didn't charge it. Reading owner's manual, need to remove butt stock to get at lock in receiver and clean. Will take it to smith because I filled the stock with wood to get 15.5" lop. Have him drill hole to access connecting bolt. Dirt in...

    Tradition Vortek locked up

    I talked to a local smith, he suggested to drift hinge pin out, BRILLIANT! It works again.

    Tradition Vortek locked up

    Dry fired it then put a fired primer in, pulled trigger clicked but now locked up. Can't open breach nor slide safety or striker slide. I reckon the firing pin will not bounce back. Has anyone experienced this?

    Limbsaver Nitro grind to fit pad on Traditions Vortek

    I'm not adding weight. Paladin and I don't need more when at 10k' elevation. The 1.5" limbsaver pad should cushion the firing of 350g of lead at 2100 fps. I shaped some straight grain fir to fit snug in stock. Will do more in time.

    Limbsaver Nitro grind to fit pad on Traditions Vortek

    Thanks Hausser1, I searched and found I can use a 1x8, shape it to fit in the butt stock. Glue or cement in. That will give me something to screw the pad to. It won't look as good as Limbsaver would make it, but it will work fine for me.

    Hollow butt stock, need to fill. Shape wood, glue, 2 screws in from off side. Thoughts please.

    Anyone try this sling?

    Recently got one. Best sling for horseback carry. Stays in place, minimum bounce.

    Thanks MrTom and deermanok, I'm using a spent 209 primer. Nice 2 lb trigger from the factory.

    Front sight for low light hunting.

    I think the red front fiber optic gives more contrast than green.

    camo wrap?

    I always wanted an old s x s. After seeing the movie Apaloosa I had to have one. I was fortunate to have found it. Have only shot one round of trap with it. It shoots where you point it.

    camo wrap?

    I've decided on no camo on the old dull blued gun. I talked to a forest service person; no closures where I plan on hunting. They had furs and feathers.

    camo wrap?

    I'm gonna give turkey hunting a go for the first time. I have a 1931 Long Range s x s 12g Ithaca. If I wrap the barrel forward of the forearm it will cover the rib and the bottom of the bead will not be seen. Is the wrap necessary?
