• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Sharps 1877 And Antelope

Hunting is as much about the gun as it is the animal you are hunting. I ordered this 1877 five years ago from Shiloh Rifles in Big Timber, Montana. It took awhile, but they finished an exceptional rifle and anything you get from them is nothing less than a custom rifle.

Sure, it isn't easy packing a 12 pound gun around, but there is a lot about hunting that isn't easy. The main thing was I did want to get an antelope with this gun.

There aren't as many antelope this fall as I have seen in the past, but I did find one group of 12 that was out in the middle of an open field where antelope prefer to live. After about a 1/2 mile stalk and crawl, I was able to get within 209 yards and carefully slip the Sharps over the rim of some rocks and take one shot. I waited until the antelope was grazing with his head down and shot him through the top of the neck and into the chest. He dropped dead in his tracks...
