Re: WINCHESTER Model 1895
Ha ha! It was a neighbor and she knew I hunt etc. The rifle was not on display at the garage sale. She told she had a couple of guns for sale so I said "sure, I will take a look", imaging my surprise when I saw the 1895. I asked her how much she wanted for it and she said "what do you think"? I was ...

Re: Air Pistols and Rifles
I am surprised that anyone here on the forum took the time to respond to this question. Really? Open carry with a pellet gun?
What a waste of time and bandwidth.

Ice Skating
Took the wife and twins to Moody Gardens today for the Holiday stuff, I was CC and (by the way saw, no signage of 30.06 or 30.07).

Re: Good for another 5 years
Been awhile since I have been on this forum. So I took my renewal on 4/17, did the online thing a week or two before that. Sent the paperwork to DPS a few days after renewal course. DPS site says that they are waiting on my paperwork. Should I be concerned? How long are they taking to process ...

Re: Firearms appraisal in Austin ?
I have to "schedule" mine, as well as jewelry, etc. which means I need appraisals. Anyone know a good firearm appraiser in Houston?

Re: Varmints! Waking up the neighbors...
I ran into this problem with grackels. .410 is louder than a .22 but less than a .12 gauge for sure. That's what I started out with. Then I bought a Gamo suppressed pellet gun but it is louder than advertised. Noise will get you in trouble. My question is, won't a skunk still spray when it is shot ...

Re: Varmints! Waking up the neighbors...
Thanks for the legal input.
Question is: What is louder? 22 rifle or single shot .410?
Never mind, just found the answer. .22 makes less noise..... Thanks anyway...

Re: Varmints! Waking up the neighbors...
So I live in regular residential neighborhood. The drought has brought out the critters! Shot my 2nd skunk tonight, wanting to get the armadillo that is tearing up my yard. Anyway, I have been using a single shot .410, which is pretty loud.
My question is; would a 22 rifle be less noisy? Thanks ...

Re: Varmints! Waking up the neighbors...
I do not live within city limits... I do live in Harris County, not recklessly shooting....
Most of the neighbors know, just want to minimize the "bang". I tried the pellet thing last week. Too difficult in the dark......
