Thread: SOTD - 'HOBBY THEME' - Sun Mar 21sth - Sat Mar 27th

[QUOTE=gssixgun;564835]Out at the Range:

The shave;;;;

The razor is my full hollow Damascus that Butch Harner made for me, snuggled into some of my Abalone acrylic scales..
The soap was AlRazamatazz's Da Bomb
The scuttle is the Georgetown one I won at the 09 NC Razorcon...
The AS some Osage Rub Wooooooowheeeeee that stuff wakes ya up..
A 28mm Savemac Silvertip brush

Now as some of you know Gemstar Customs was originally my Custom Rifle Company I just kept the name and moved to Razors...

This is a Sniper rifle I put together some time ago.

.308 win
Remington action
Lilja barrel
HiTech custom muzzle brake
Timmney trigger @2lbs
Titanium pin with fast springs
H&S Precession stock, skim coat bedded.
Leopold Tac scope Mildot adjustable turrets
Before you ask that is a vibration dampener on the barrel...
and yes if you look really close you will see that the bullets are Molycoated I do them myself that way in the tumblers...

These pics were taken out in the back pasture where I have the rifle range, one of my requirements when I bought a place up here, was I had to be able to shoot right on my own property... So over the years I have put in a rifle range (those far trees are 100 yards away) a pistol range (see the close target holders), and a trap thrower (off to the right).. So, now when do you guys want to have a N Idaho meet up

Nice! I am a retired sniper...in 07...I am putting toether a Savage action 7remm mag with a Shilon bull match grade chrome barrel and Mcmillon stock. Is you scope the LRT? I was thinking of going with that one..I love that scope, but I think I am going to get away from the mil dot and go with the TMR...looks like you get better visual from it.. Have you ever dealt with one?

My other hobby surfing.... if you look close that's me dropping in on that beastmaster on the right hand side, and a little post surf parking lot fun.

Good god! Not only do you have the most ridiculously beautiful NOS straights and that Heritage Finest, but you're also in my home of San Francisco, which I miss as I look out the window at the rainy day in New York.
Please keep posting your SOTD; they're always wonderful to look at.

The fishing I enjoy the most is in small mountain trout streams. Boulder hopping and short casts to small pools. Close up fishing and fish you have to work hard to not spook. While mountain trout in these small streams don’t grow large, they are always hungry. It was not uncommon to catch and release 30 Brook Trout in an afternoon on the Rapidan.

This is my mountain trout rig. An Orvis Battenkill Mark III by Hardy and an Orvis 7 ½ ‘ graphite Tippet model 3 weight rod. It appears I could have cleaned it up better, there are trout scales on the handle.

I learned mountain trout fishing from my mentor, Harry Murray, on the Rapidan River located in the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. What I learned there transfers well to the small, fast, mountain streams of the Smokey Mountains. The places author Harry Middleton explored in his book “On the Spine of Time”.

Tonight’s razor is a 5/8ths Trident Cutlery Barber’s King by Wusthof.
