I picked this K5 Blazer up for $4,500 last winter. It is very straight, and has only one very minor dent in the tail gate. It has 35" 12.5" BFG mud terrain tires, 60k miles on the engine 2k miles on the transmission.<br /><br /><br /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326963423053935250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 215px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tAoKg8pI/AAAAAAAABOI/een2NIe6GQ8/s400/K5+109.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tBh5w2RI/AAAAAAAABOo/FTSU7qHmvwU/s1600-h/K5+112.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326963438552930578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tBh5w2RI/AAAAAAAABOo/FTSU7qHmvwU/s400/K5+112.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tBfUIW0I/AAAAAAAABOg/XpsNdJV4bw0/s1600-h/K5+106.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326963437858216770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tBfUIW0I/AAAAAAAABOg/XpsNdJV4bw0/s400/K5+106.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tBGMWVFI/AAAAAAAABOY/Nz51ij9TfeA/s1600-h/K5+105.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326963431114691666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tBGMWVFI/AAAAAAAABOY/Nz51ij9TfeA/s400/K5+105.JPG" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326963428290473890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tA7rAL6I/AAAAAAAABOQ/TKEXGkNzL9o/s400/K5+104.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326963905475362642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 312px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/Se0tctUvv1I/AAAAAAAABOw/fdhnwTq14qM/s400/B+Auto+5+shotgun+%26+Blazer+037.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36657149-4045407637269969908?l=sportingoutdoors.blogspot.com'/></div>AdamVChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01680118608361713011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36657149.post-63790803226218953472009-02-13T19:24:00.000-08:002009-02-13T20:30:12.223-08:00Bushmaster BA50 .50 BMG<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SZZF4SZ_iWI/AAAAAAAABOA/nhCink7Uy98/s1600-h/BCW3M-30-50BMGLW.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302502444591188322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 115px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SZZF4SZ_iWI/AAAAAAAABOA/nhCink7Uy98/s400/BCW3M-30-50BMGLW.jpg" border="0" /></a> The Bushmaster BA50 is unique in design, it takes down just like an AR style rifle, although it is bolt action. it comes equipped with a steel folding bipod, a magpul adjustable stock, ErgoGrip tactical pistol grip, both the lower and upper receiver are machined from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6061_aluminum">T6-6061</a> aluminium. It is said on forums that the barret is easier to shoot from a standing position. but with a 30+ lb rifle I'm not sure that should be held against the BA50. The bolt is worked on the left hand side, with right hand side ejection. The Bushmaster BA50 is a Cobb design, bought by Bushmaster.<br /><object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/52OCA9-ZX4A&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/52OCA9-ZX4A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><ul><li><strong>Caliber: </strong>.50 BMG </li><li><strong>Magazine Capacity:</strong> 10 Rounds </li><li><strong>Overall Length:</strong> 58" [147.32cm] </li><li><strong>Length - Stock Retracted: </strong>N/A </li><li><strong>Barrel Length:</strong> 30" </li><li><strong>Rifling: </strong>1 in-15" </li><li><strong>Weight w/o magazine: </strong>30lbs [13.6kg] </li><li><strong>Weight of empty magazine:</strong> 1lb 7oz </li><li><strong>Weight of loaded magazine: </strong>3lbs 14.5oz </li><li><strong>Mode of Operation:</strong> Bolt Action </li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36657149-6379080322621895347?l=sportingoutdoors.blogspot.com'/></div>AdamVChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01680118608361713011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36657149.post-65617883622426899842009-02-08T12:30:00.000-08:002009-02-08T12:40:14.717-08:00PETA on Ground SqurrelsPETA is trying to ban pesticides and poisons from being used against ground squirrels, and trying to get them on the endangered species list.

The spoils of the chase were essential to the survival of the Pilgrims who arrived in 1620, as well as to the movers who were constantly spreading westward across America. Also, hunting was the main food source for Native Americans before the coming of the pilgrims, and long after western civilization made it's mark on American soil. Was this killing of animals wrong? Or was it justifiable by the circumstances? Or could it be our privilege and right?<br /><br />Hunting has ceased to be a necessity in our culture since about 1901, which marks the date of the first American hunting licence tendered by the state of Utah. From that time, hunting has been considered a sporting event. Is it wrong to kill animals for sport, but still make them into sausage? Could we be justified by the need for the thrill of the chase and sausage? Or could it be our privilege and right?<br /><br /><strong>Lets go back in time for some clues:</strong><br />You are living in 1966: the media and populace are unstable while the war in Vietnam drags on, the elections are coming up, and the main parties have built, and are still building their campaigns. In order to create a loyal following, the great abhorrence of cruelty, bloodshed, and violence, feelings that are widespread, are used to mould misguided causes based on feelings and emotions. The Vietnam veterans felt the brunt of this abhorrence, but these same feelings were channeled into the anti-hunting/preservationist parties. What the average <strong><em>supporter</em></strong>, of these preservationist and anti-hunting organisations fail to realize is that: they, being a large organised group of people, hold considerable political power, having been indoctrinated in extreme beliefs (for example "the shooting of an elk for sport or fun, is cruel and violent in the extreme") will vote for the candidate that appears to advocate their "righteous" cause, this is the political scheme of things.

Why? Supply can't meet demand. But here is another option, it will save you money, and will enable you to take more pride in shooting. Build your own AR-15 receiver, don't let the word "build" scare you, it takes less than an hour to do it right the first time. AR-15.com has a great step by step walkthrough <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SSZQMZ5nv5I/AAAAAAAABLE/vrjOHbFn00I/s1600-h/151T.jpg"></a>on how to build your own receiver, with pictures. But here's how you save money. About $85 for the receivers guts, $160 for the receiver and $50 for a 6 position M4 stock. You have a complete lower receiver for $295!

Almost all of the semi-auto weapons such as the Ar-15, Ak-47, Mini 14, and so on, were sold. The ones that remained were either "overpriced" or less desirable. But the real question is "What is overpriced now for a decent used semi auto rifle?" News of Obama's easy victory hit the gun owning citizens like an earthquake. People are unsure of what is going to happen with their rights, whether its ownership of the rifles, or the banning of lead bullets. So people are stocking up on what they need to have later, NOW. <div>Of course I was there for the same reason, I just came to late. I go to a gun shop afterwords, and learn that suppliers are are all back ordered for six months. It will be interesting to see how all this pans out.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36657149-1486981276447741195?l=sportingoutdoors.blogspot.com'/></div>AdamVChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01680118608361713011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36657149.post-38330788065580646412008-07-31T13:13:00.000-07:002008-07-31T13:57:00.643-07:00Used Break Barrel Shotgun Buyers TipIf you are going to invest in a break action shotgun, and we all know they can cost a lot. There is a test I learned the other day that tests how tight the tolerances are in break action shotguns. You take a piece of paper and stick it in the action and close the barrel with the paper sticking in it. If it locks, then maybe you should keep looking. Break action shotguns should have tight tolerances, if it does not lock up tight you will have gas escaping out the break point with every shot, thus losing maximum velocity.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36657149-3833078806558064641?l=sportingoutdoors.blogspot.com'/></div>AdamVChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01680118608361713011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36657149.post-52964012469210086062008-07-07T23:55:00.000-07:002008-11-12T23:30:58.770-08:00Large Frame .44 Magnum Revolvers List<strong>Ruger Redhawk:</strong><br />Definitely my first choice for a heavily built .44 magnum revolver, the Ruger Redhawk can handle the hotter loads than any other .44magnum revolver on the market. In addition to the heavy build, it is an accurate gun for people who can shoot with that kind of weight. I would recommend the model with the 4" barrel, it is as accurate as the versions with the longer barrel at distances of up to 75 yards. Only a personal preference to longer barrels will make you think the longer barrels are more accurate at that range. The only real thing I don't like about this revolver is the cylinder release button. I like the Smith &amp; Wesson and the Colt cylinder release much more, they are much faster to use and feel more smooth. But all Ruger double action revolvers have the same release. It's just personal preference. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO0LFCLNvI/AAAAAAAAA0s/FuHX5pYk0Uo/s1600-h/287T.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220714495475398386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO0LFCLNvI/AAAAAAAAA0s/FuHX5pYk0Uo/s400/287T.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO0LEtQbGI/AAAAAAAAA00/QFJ6jq4lxAU/s1600-h/guns.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220714495387659362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO0LEtQbGI/AAAAAAAAA00/QFJ6jq4lxAU/s400/guns.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Super Blackhawk:</strong><br />A good single action .44 magnum, smooth and excellent quality, and has no real competition in sales.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO08-8TA7I/AAAAAAAAA08/uzTtlXCf1m0/s1600-h/120T.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220715352833590194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO08-8TA7I/AAAAAAAAA08/uzTtlXCf1m0/s400/120T.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO09LquDgI/AAAAAAAAA1E/Pc4LnLUeaOs/s1600-h/151T.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220715356249525762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO09LquDgI/AAAAAAAAA1E/Pc4LnLUeaOs/s400/151T.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Colt Anaconda: </strong><br />I my opinion the most beautiful .44 magnum revolver ever made. With the vented ribs, and the smooth look and feel the Colt Anaconda ranks as my favorite .44 Magnum revolver ever. All of Colt's snake series revolvers have been out of production since sometime in the late 90's. So your best chance of finding one of these fine revolvers is on Gunbroker.com, and it wont be cheap. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220714345125496002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO0CU79xMI/AAAAAAAAA0k/jc0pS_GwUe8/s400/pix327276062.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><strong>Smith &amp; Wesson 629:<br /></strong>If you like many different makes to choose from, then take a look at the Smith &amp; Wesson Model 29's. The only caution I have is that you cant handload, loads much heavier than you can buy off the shelf, since this weapon has a bad history with heavy hand loads. Also, handle on the model 29 is made for big hands, and it can be tough to operate one handed, single action unless you have a really big pair of mitts! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220717519280440962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO27FlehoI/AAAAAAAAA1k/IMc-kxxFxFg/s400/163606_large.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><strong>Smith &amp; Wesson Model 29:</strong><br />Hit the market with a boom after Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry movies, the Smith &amp; Wesson Model 29 is an undying legend. Yet set aside all the lore and gusto and what do you have? A flawless functioning revolver, that perhaps lacks the strength of the more modern revolvers. But there has always been a special place in my heart for finely blued revolvers and the Model 29 is no exception. Smith &amp; Wesson has put the Model 29 back into production, for how long no one knows. It is one of the few .44 magnums on the market today that comes blued. The Redhawk being the only real competition in blued .44 magnums.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220717514734196274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO260pkVjI/AAAAAAAAA1c/5FLeZF0_8oI/s400/150145_large.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><strong>Taurus model Model 44:</strong><br />The cheapest .44 magnum revolver available on the market, works great, pretty low profile, and gets good ratings. most of you know Taurus's are made in Brazil, I like to support my American gun makers with my money. Tuarus has a lifetime repair warranty, that is a huge deciding factor for most people. If you can get past their customer no-service, they will repair your broken gun only charging you shipping expenses. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220716644012319890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_to0PFlVQakY/SHO2II9S5JI/AAAAAAAAA1U/iwK_utgWmIY/s400/44SS6.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><strong>Taurus Raging Bull:</strong><br /><br />I like the Tuarus Raging Bull for it's looks, and it's capable of fairly heavy loads.

It's actually classified as a tactical revolver! The main feature of the Smith &amp; Wesson 327 is the 8 shot cylinder. It shoots 8 shots of .357 Magnum, that's a lot of shots for a revolver! Of course the cylinder is a little bit wider than normal, but I think it's worth that small sacrifice. Another really great thing about it is Scandium Alloy frame, sure it's a big revolver but it is decently light. The 327 TRR8 has a 5" barrel that's the perfect tactical length, not to long and not to short.
