Yes, I'm here!

And no, I wasn't late. I just walked in and had stuff to do. And not much to blog about.

It might be time to play "Ask That Guy a Question"...

OK! What's your favorite rifle action, bolt, lever, semiautomatic, wheelock? Something else?

Well, I go back and forth between bolt and semi-auto. I have a couple of Swede Mausers that are just incredible for their precision, and an M1917 that's built like a howitzer, so if there's time for being able to get a second shot, bolt. For quick shooting, it's hard to be the semi-auto, even with the added complexity.

For a shotgun, pump action, mainly because you're able to increase the utility of the piece if you can load multiple types of ammo. Semiautos can be finicky about mixed loads, but a pump will shoot anything in the tube.

For pistols--there is only one worth carrying--the mighty 1911.

Hard to "beat" I mean. Dumb old fingers.
