   Neither has a name, but it was a good day, no snow.

Nice looking girls. Is that a Big Bore...like a .45 - 70? Awesome Tree Farmer. That machine made someone a lot on money in its day.

[terry f]

    Thanks, 45-70 cowboy, beautiful gun, fun to shoot. The other old girl isn't as purdy, but runs like a champ.

[thecfarm]

Like that skidder!!!

[Decked]

WHEW!  at first glance, I thought you were gonna " put 'er down"  ;D

[terry f]

   Never, she'll outlive me.

That 45/70 have a big kick ? am thinking bought getting one

[terry f]

   Not as bad as you would think Goose, 30.06, 12 gauge type. Seems to have more power than needed for anything on this Continent.

Great jobs on the pics posting terry! Awesome skidder, and nice Marlin too!!

[terry f]

   Thanks Mad Murdock, put a new fuel pump in her yesterday. I make simple jobs harder than they are, but still got to play with her for a couple hours. The ground couldn't be any better for dozing right now, should still have snow.

[Wellmud]

I would like to take your girl on a date, the lazy one leaning against the tire ;D

I like both them girls.... I've logged quite a bit in your neighborhood.

[terry f]

   Are you still logging, I'm out on Horseshoe Ridge behind the sand shed. Not much going on back there now, but they've been busy the last couple years. I don't log, just like playing in my woods.

[crash]

We did a job two winters ago behind the sand shed. If I had my own woods to play in there isn't much else I'd do, it's pretty fun.

[Jake Bell]

Nice gun and skidder. I love my marlin in .444, had the barrel cut and crowned to 18.5", those big bores are game stoppers thats for sure.

[terry f]

    Thanks Jake, and welcome. Wellmud, sorry, she's not allowed to date anyone from Ohio, she's legal there now and I'm afraid you would fall in love and I'd never see her again.

[Wellmud]

Terry, now Ohio is not so bad, and I promise I will take good care of her!

My B.I.L has the same rifle.  When I shot it, I felt it was more like a shotgun, seem to burn the powder a little slower.
I'm small framed so a 30.06 is a real whacker for me and it definitely did seem to that level IMHO

Terry f have you tried the Hornaday Leverlution (sp) ??  dandy stuff.

   The Hornady's are the only thing I've shot, have 5 boxes with plans to use the brass when shot up, only to find out the Hornady brass is shorter and I will need their dies to crimp, not sure what to do now. Only shooting 325 grain, so that might be why the recoil hasn't been bad. Here it is compared to the 357 mag.
