Sorry, I dont understand following words at forums : -" ya "- and - "WTF"
What do these two words mean?

Sorry garryale, Let me explain. ya, is a shortened or rural form of "you", such as "I just wanted to let ya(you) know what I am talking about" or "Glad to hear from ya(you)" Very common slang in the US.

WTF on the other hand is initals and is short for the profane expression "What The F**k" and I'm sorry you have been exposed to it so early in your time with us. We for the most part, with one bad exception here recently, do not use it on the Buck subforum.

hope this helps
Fritz
 
Thanks Gordon for your Е-mail and explanations.
Thanks Fritz for explanations.
I have understood so these bad words cannot be used at a forum.
ya - there is an American variant of English YOU.
It can be used.

The 7.62X57 cartridge has a longer case than our .308 (7.62X51) and is very close to our
30 Remington in case length and power . Something of the 30-30 class . Our 30-06 (7.62X63) can be loaded to much higher velocities and power approaching the 300 H&H .
Still, not in any of our excellant 30 caliber magnums class for use on large game .
A nice Ellg. The Scandinavian word for there Moose . Hence, the confusion, when the first Europeans came here and sighted our ELK and called him their word . Our native American word Wapiti is more correct in naming our big game mammal a solely American derivative, meaning flower rump . Perhaps 300 Bucks will chime in here as his degree is more directly along these lines . DM

That's really interesting.......so, when we say "elk" (for our elk) we are actually saying "moose" by mispronouncing a word from another language???? Am I getting that?

Is "ellg" Swedish? Norwegian?

That's getting too darn complex for me.

I wonder......is that 7.62X57 a necked-down 8mm Mauser?

And is the 7.62X39 a shortened 7.62X57??

Interesting thread.......if a bit of a brain-teaser.

:)

And our Norwegian Elkhounds are REALLY Norwegian Moosehounds?

:)

BG42, Yes, your correct on both points . I visited at length with both and learned their language while in school . Enough to chat with them but not read a text in that language . Learning the vowels is a challange . "Ellg" is a Norwegian word but the Swedes is similiar . Just don't mention that around them as that sort of thing is very degrading toward each other . Sort of like Americian and French . Well, comparing any other language is degrading to the superior French . European countries are like that with strong loyalities toward their boundaries . Not so in America, somebody from the South can come to NM and we merely think they talk funny .
A necked down 8mm is an accurate assessment of the cartridge our Russian collector is using to hunt big game with . Any European reveres the Sako, Finnbear rifle in any caliber as a fine sporting arm . I wish I had one as well, as they're made like a fine Swiss watch .DM
 
Sturm Ruger & Co in USA is good producer of precision rifles for sport hunting .
Is not it ?
These rifles are based on Mauser mechanic.
Many rifles in the world are based on the mechanic of the Mauser.
Sako and Tikka are too a bolt-action rifles on the basis of the Mauser.
They are available in different calibres.
Usualy in Russia Mauser caliber marked 8x57 JRS.

Ruger makes not only nice rifles, but handguns and shotguns too. in my opinion the best manufacturer of rifles and shotguns here in the USA is Remington. i own several Remingtons. i am one who believes in "buy American", but i do prefer Glock pistols to all others, so i guess i "buy Austrian" also.:D my knives i only buy Buck, Benchmade, and Beckers tho. good thread, i enjoy when people from another part of the world become active members.

Yes Remington is good producer too.
Rem 700 is sniper rifle of USA Navy SEAL special forces.

Can be Barret 0.50 BMG is good rifle for hunting for hares.:D

Glock is very reliable pistol.
And it is much in the American cinema about gangsters and good policemen.
 
Excuse me if it is not on a theme in a branch about Buck knifes.
Excuse me for quality of photos.
It is done of mobile phone.

which model of Benchmade is that? i cant quite make it out, but im guessing a Ruckus or the mini....i do love the axis lock, makes a folder nearly as stout as a fixed blade knife. sorry guys, this is the Buck section, and we're discussing Benchmades:o...as for the 50 BMG as a rabbit gun, that might be considered overkill.:D i do enjoy shooting them tho. ive spent many an afternoon with a .50 and i dream of owning one, its just my woman doesnt seem to have the same enthusiasm for one as they are very pricey.:eek:

BM canceled production of the Rukus twins so you're lucky to have that knife.

What will be the use for the Wolf skin/pelt?

I always like to see hunting photo's. Flatlander called this a wolf, But, I'd say it looks to be a bear by the ears. How large was this bear and did you take it hound hunting also?

What an interesting thread. Figuring out the moose/elk name confusion and the odd rifle calibers was real enjoyable.

I agree that you must add a 110 to your collection. It's just not right to be without a 110. :)

I think I have the 7.62X54R figured out after a Google trip to a few gun forums. It's a more common round than I thought.

Apparently your interesting semi-auto is just below the .308 Winchester in power at about 2450 feet per second with a 180 grain bullet. Does that sound correct? Reminds me of the old 30-40 Krag ballistics. Good power, not a lot of recoil.

I see you have added a picture. Is that a wolf or a bear? The muzzle looks so heavy for a wolf.

As you go along you must consider adding a Buck 120 to your collection. It is the classic old large Buck knife and quite impressive in its size.

Hi Garryale,thanks for the pictures.You have a good collection.Don't feel bad about not knowing the meaning of WTF.I had to ask my 30 year old son,Ha Ha.
 
Garry, I guess you took the bear with the same rifle . What does bear meat taste like .
Ruger's are ok just not in the same class as a Sako as their extraction and mechanics work differently . Yes, the Rem. 700BDL was widely used and is a fine sniper rifle . An adjustable trigger and other nice features came standard with that rifle . DM

It is Rukus big brother ( it is not mini Rukus) with carbon fiber handle.S30V steel is on a blade.
Two years it was on hunting with me .
Today Buck knife supersede it from my pocket.:D

Rukus should leave on the deserved pension.
Buck will work as the following.
I am very happy Buck Ergohunter Pro s30V Paul Bos heat treated.
I have a few experience with steels s30V from different manufacturers.
Today s30V Paul Bos heat treated is the best in my opinion.

You are right .
7.62X54R is called as "Russian soft" because it has Good power, not a lot of recoil.
7.62X54R has bullet 13,7 gramme with welocity 715 meters per second , and has not a lot of recoil.
(Sorry I have information only in metric system)
.308 Winchester is called "The fighting cartridge" ,because of a sharp impulse of recoil.

On a photo is the bear , it is small type of brown bear from European part of Russia.
Brown bear there is more aggressive and large than your black bear, but it is less aggressive and small than your grizzly.
In Russia is a Kamchatka brown bear, it is almost analogue of your grizzly from Alaska.

Yes you are right .
I shot it from my SVD ( SVD rifle is called "Tiger" ) 70 meters of a distance.
It was in the night , I shot with night sight on the rifle.
It is legal in Russia.
Test of meet is not so good , Sweetish meat.
Not so it was pleasant.
I prefer meat of a wild boar, an elk, a hare.

Wow, that's a long, heavy bullet if I'm converting my grams to grains correctly.

I get about 210 grains, which seems to fit with the velocity you mention. Do you always use such heavy bullets, or is that just for moose, I mean elk?

Common wisdom here is that about 11 grams is the most efficient weight and nothing more than 11.7 is really needed, even for heavy game.

(I speak only of the 7.62 caliber.)
