Nice harvest Gunner. I like how you got a nice bright white jaw with blackened teeth. That looks cool. Did you peroxide the bone then insert the teeth?

Your right, I think calling Ruger is the best and final answer. Mahalo for the help.

General Discussion / Loose bolt lever American Ruger
« on: September 07, 2014, 07:53:13 AM »
Good Morning all,
I'm researching an issue with an American Ruger rifle in a 30-06 bolt action. The problem is the bolt and lever is very loose when a cartridge is chambered or not. Unchambered, I can shake the rifle and the bolt will move up to block the trigger. What keeps tension of the bolt?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks gunner for the comments.
It's is a LA Ruger 7mm, with a Timney trigger bedded action, and a 3.5-10x40 Leupold Boone Crockett.
The ewe was shot at 268ish yds on the run after missing a similar ewe at 130 same herd. Go figure. I probably would have done better if I closed my eyes.
The non-typical ram was taken at 134 yds. The shot was a pass though at the shoulders, it ran with another ewe behind the mountain and I loss sight of it. Thinking that I missed, I sat bewildered and upset with myself on my performance. After a few minutes, I saw the ewe it was with across a washout without the ram. Knowing that they stay together, I decided to take a look. It took me about 1/2 hr. to get to the other side of the mountain. As I approached, some spots of blood were spotted. Following the trail of blood back to where I shot it, I found a significant amount of blood with bone fragments. I knew then it was a good shot. Slowly making my way on the blood trail, the ram was spotted approximately 50 yds away in a ravine. I was ecstatic. The pack out was brutal, but well worth the experience.

I had the pleasure of hunting on Lana'i this weekend and was fortunate to harvest these two animals. Both were taken deep in the valley so you can only imagine how much work it took for me to get them out.
The weather was sunny and hot; I cant' wait for deer season. Cheeeehoooo!

Legal and Activism / Registering a firearm
« on: August 24, 2014, 08:33:01 AM »
This might be more of a rant but I hope to gain a different perspective from you all after posting this subject.
I want to register a long gun from a pvt. party who's father has deceased. I've read the laws and the process. My question is " wouldn't it be better if HPD would allow all firearm to be registered regardless of how it was acquired"? Who cares how one gets the firearm, if a responsible gun owner who has a authorization to acquire and register the gun wants to keep or get the firearm registered; who cares where the firearm came from. At least they now know where the firearm is. If somehow the deceased comes back to life and tells the beneficiary he wants it back? WTFC.
Thanks for reading and chime in if you'd like. Maybe I need a better perspective on the process or is that my fault in the first place.

Hunting / Re: Optimum caliber for Hawaii Game ?
« on: August 23, 2014, 04:14:36 PM »
last time i went range in Lana'i, I checked out the plastic container thats left on the tree for scrap brass. I separated the brass as I was board waiting for the wife to sight in her rifle.
What I found was more than half of the brass of approximately 500 was 30-06. 1/3 of half that was 300 and 7mm. Then the rest was a mix of 7mm-08, 270, 243, 264?, 25-06, 30-30 and some others,
In our hunting group of 8, 3 use 30-06, 1- 270, 1- 243, 1-308, and me (no loyalty) played with 270, then 300 win mag, and now 7mm. after this season, I'm probably going back to my 300 wm. The others, what ever they can get their hands on.
From my perspective: I'd go- 30-06, 300wm, 7mm, 308. For the wives in our group, 308 and 243 win the shot.

Out of state hunting license for Hawaii is $95 dollars. The applicant also needs to verify some type of formal hunters education class to qualify for the license.
