The picture with the deer is from last November. Sorry i don't have a recent close up. I really like the Tried and True finish but it is easy...

    Show me your cherry

    Here is my Kibler SMR in cherry. This is my first rifle build but i have used a lot of cherry in furniture and other projects and love the way it works and looks. The finish is Tried and True oil. I like to let the cherry age naturally.

    Rendered deer fat as patch lube

    I rendered some down this fall from my doe. It comes out very white and hard when cooled. I mixed up a batch of lube 2:1 tallow and vegetable oil. It seems to work pretty well. It is still hard but you can easily get a small amount on a patch by just swiping it. Don't know how it will do in...

    Just ordered a Kibler Southern Mountain Rifle! Please post pics of yours.

    Jack the cherry will darken and already has some. I just used an oil finish on the wood as i love the way cherry ages over time. As for the metal i used Kibler's brass darkening solution but it tended to rub off more then i expected. Most of what you see is the start of natural patina.

    Squirrel Season 2020

    Our squirrel season started on August 15. For once that fell on a weekend so i was able to be out in the woods on opening day. I have been out several times since but didn't connect until this morning. First blood drawn with the new rifle. Great morning to be out.

    .45 caliber RB enough for deer?

    I've hunted deer for years with a 45 cal and never had a problem. I shoot 50 grains of 3F and rarely does the ball not go all the way through. Actually last years buck was the first time I've ever recovered a ball from a deer. It was stuck in the hide on the far side. Most of the shots are under...

    First target with new rifle

    This is 25 yards off hand. We don't have many targets we shoot off rests at our club. My load is 50 grains of FFF with .445 and .024 pillow ticking. When i was working up a load the first 3 shots out of the rifle were touching. I've been really impressed with this gun. If you are thinking about...
