Yakking in the woods while plinking with my Pre-war Winchester Model 70 in .30-06 and my Colt SAA "Davy Colt" in .45 Colt caliber.

I'm making this one live a little early this morning.

[@jeremylenferink7560]

I see that I'm still working it's 200 clock here. Thanks for your videos love watching them

[@tylermorrison7051]

I'm up all night and into the wee hours. Early is good. Hope you come back to Uncle Lee's in KY this year.

[@neilmoreland5476]

Yes Sir,,,you most certainly are!!! I just happen to check and Woo and behold,,,there you are Brother...Another fine Sunday early morning with your fine show and you as usual...Love from SW OHIO,,,Germantown OHIO,,,Brother Neil

[@lightningscott5624]

I see that!!

[@toddm9501]

We will always be here, no matter what time

[@mygremlin1]

I'm 78 yr old. My English teacher was an very old woman whose father fought in the Civil War. Once in a while she would tell stories her father told her. She should have been teaching history.

[@BrianHostetter]

Really enjoyed this show, agree with everything you said, from the outdoors to school to the graveyard, like being with an old friend. Happy Sunday. 😇

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

A gentle man with the gentleman's rifle. Have a great Sunday y'all. Greetings from the Netherlands ✌, TW.

[@NICETRY-rn1kg]

As always. 45 explains it correctly. Little early. My kids are asleep.I can watch in peace. Settle, You parents no what I'm talkin about. Enjoy your weekend.

[@jamesduke7965]

Worked at Jack Daniel’s distillery a few times a few years ago. Fire protection inspections ! Beautiful country there , very thankful to have lived in Tennessee the last 55 years love it here and shooting in my backyard I wouldn’t know how to act living somewhere that I couldn’t shoot when I wanted too! Very thankful to live in this beautiful state ! Thank you for another great video

[@landang378]

Amen to being able to shoot when you want

[@stephencostello1483]

I believe there’s more history talked about here on this channel than most schools today. Take a look at your colleges. It speaks volumes.

[@robedmund9948]

"It's good to be on the right side of the grass." Haven't heard that one in a while. Great reminder!! Great morning watching you shoot a classic. Just imagine how many people may have been fed by that beauty. Glas you were able to reconnect with colleagues and former students. Know that you made an impact. Maybe not with every student, but with the majority of them. A good life, sir!

[@lindanelson8400]

Oh boy! A pre 64 model 70 in 30-06. That's always been one of my dream guns. I've owned a few pre 64 94's. I sold the last one I had a couple of years ago to a good friend. His boy was going to be going on his first deer hunt, so I let go of my 94. It pained me a little bit, but we're only caretakers of the old classics for a little while. I still get pleasure from it as I got a picture of my friend's son proudly holding my old 94 in the woods on his first deer hunt. That's where it belongs, not just sitting in a safe.

[@Moses1973]

Nice comment. That boy I'm sure had a grin on his face. That was nice of you.

[@stevenfairless4931]

Patton had a low score .. I think it was in his Olympic decathlon ... in which , he said, he drilled the same hole, but was counted as a miss. His decathlon pick was due to not being the best at anything, but real good at everything. "The Patton Papers" are a good read.

[@nathan-qcueparsons268]

The beginning would be a hilarious intro to an apocalypse movie😂

[@EugeneWorth]

Started my morning off at 3a.m with the 450 bushmaster then my mossin 7.62-54r ... good morning,we love your stuff, keep on keeping on till the good lord see it different..god bless..

[@joelcromwell5983]

I've got a 1961 Model 88 lever in .308 and I love it!. Still has the original Winchester magazine.

[@carycary5824]

I was in my early 30’s when I finally went to college to become a minister. I loved English classes and composition writing. I love writing my manuscripts when writing my sermons. My professor was a wife to a Methodist pastor. She really took me under her wing and gave me some of her husband’s sermon manuscripts to study. She was a precious teacher and person. Thank you for your time as a teacher that probably cared about your students like my writing professor.

[@almiller1371]

I'm sure you meant a teacher "who" cared.

[@stothal]

reminds me of my grandmother's left handed bolt sporterized WW1 Springfield. thanks for sharing a very reliable rifle that has harvested food for millions.

[@kinguhtexas7721]

Glad i got to see you in Dallas! Made my whole day thanks for being kind and for the picture! Dream come true

[@hickok45]

Thanks for coming by!!!

[@tcjohnson3437]

I got two that look like that. Got JC Higgins model 50 in 270, and model 51 in 30-06. Had them for 50 years. Great rifles. That model 70 is a great rifle too !

[@model7374]

( future general) Patton shooting in the Olympics was given a miss for a one hole 2 shots target kerfuffle. He didn’t get the gold. In the book ‘the accurate rifle’ a device was described for bench rest shooting. It was an electric powered reel of paper behind the target so the holes were strung out on the paper and hits could be counted.

[@zmfischer]

Life’s good, Hickok. Happy Sunday

[@jamesbell8496]

Good morning Hickok45 and gang. Ah yes, 30-06 and my favorite the Colt SAA. Cheers folks

[@gotchagoing4905]

With regards to "stripper clips", that was how we loaded our M 14's in boot camp back in '68. That is STILL my all time favorite rifle. Expert @ 500 yds open sights.

[@gregcheney7173]

Good Morning, I watch while on vacation! Many Thanks.

[@ShermanRagland]

Love it! One of the most beautiful rifles ever made.

[@almiller1371]

I was one of the nerds who loved and greatly benefited from sentence diagramming. The way it breaks down and displays the parts of speech always made grammar much easier to comprehend for me. I went to a private high school that had a wonderful English teacher who rode me so hard that I was able to test through English 101 & 102 at the University of Louisville.

[@dennispeltier6142]

Did the 710 loop in Dallas thrice, once by accident. Who developed the longest one-way traffic circle for a world record, should be sentenced to roll a large boulder for eternity. I was fortunate to fire several rounds through a pre '64 .270. Shooting across an arroyo at quart bottles, fun. Always learning never boring, thank you Hickok45.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@Jonsoar]

I was a vocab master in High School. That little vocab book was sweet. English was usually an A for me.

[@johncornell3665]

I find I always take something away from your talks each week. Yes there are quite often people in our lives that change the course of our lives with their advice, when you were talking about becoming a teacher. Thanks for your time and effort. I enjoy the talks just as much as the shooting! Take care

[@thomasbowe6822]

30 -06 has a very distinctive sound in the woods !

[@justinriley8651]

yep really loud ! rattles the trees 🌳!

[@steveb6103]

I own 2 pre 64 model 70s. 30-06 and 270. So I knew what you were holding in the thumbnail. The 30-06 was bought for me before I was born. The 270 I bought 4 years ago.

[@andrewshuford]

Appreciate you Mr. Hickok and John, keep up the awesome stuff!!!

[@vikingsoftpaw]

Nice to see the pre-64 Winchester at play again.

[@robertwoodward388]

I had the best English teacher he followed our class when we Graduated from School he Retired and would love to see him again he was the best Bruce Ambrose

[@AWareWolf9]

I had such a good time meeting with you at the NRA convention! It was a great time, and you were every bit as cool and friendly and sensible as you are in your videos. Don’t meet your heroes, unless your hero is Hickok45! :) in that case you certainly won’t be disappointed!

[@OhioGentlemenArms]

Just spent some time on my buddy’s family farm in Waynesboro, Tennessee. Beautiful country!

[@EDKguy]

About REI, I call those folks Subarus. I live in NC and Asheville is their capitol.

[@donaldramey1896]

Subarus. Love it. Now I have a new term. Thanks.

[@robedmund9948]

So is Austin, TX. Boulder, CO., too.

[@jerryw6699]

I tell my kids that all subaru drivers are communists. It's a family joke because I have a cousin that's super left leaning and he drives a subaru.

[@chrisn5079]

​@jerryw6699 if there's a line of traffic, guaranteed its a Subaru in front holding everyone up.

Hello Hickok. I did some trading this week and got my hands on an S&W model 13-2 nickel plate 4" inch 357 magnum revolver in 95% condition. I watched both of your videos on it again at least 2 times. Lol. I like the older stuff. The quality is just different. I also got an Aero Precision 10.5" AR pistol that's brand new. It's not a bad little AR. I traded my Saiga in 5.56 for both of them. I never found anyone to convert it. I just couldn't trust anyone to know what they're doing. It was just too Non-AK for me. Lol. Life is good. Thanks for the great show today. I just thought I'd share my adventures this week. 😂😅😊

[@therealhawkeyeii7888]

You talked me into it. I'm going to get my pre-64 Super Grade out to the range, along with my pre-war 70.

[@stephaniecaldwell7118]

Dorothy Lea maybe Lee was a great English teacher at BGA when I and you were there- and she was very fascinating with her stories of her travels

[@JoeyJackson-hm6jl]

Mr Hickok I wanted to tell you since I started watching your show I have truly enjoyed it. I also wanted to comment on Sunday Shoot Around # 54. The statements you spoke about owning and voting ring so true with me. I am a Libertarian and I believe that freedom means just that. No politician should have the right to take away any of our rights. You really spoke the truth. Thanks for everything you do for our shooting sport and our rights in general. I hope that you’re still ringing the gong at 105. lol

[@karltruththathurts9987]

Love ya Hickok, May God Bless you

You can be a great influence in reforming our NRA, Hickok45! Please do the research and help save our NRA! We need you!

[@stevebaldry7337]

i have a colt .45 new service made in 1900. family heirloom. hardly used. still has a beautiful blued finish. when i got it it was missing the nut on the ejector rod. i found a re pop on the internet and made the gun whole again. what a beautiful hog leg.

[@donaldramey1896]

Nice find. What a keeper.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Sounded like a P-51 that flew over, thanks Hickok!

[@hookeaires6637]

I was thinking more like a C47, had that dual radial engine sound signature.

[@thunderstruck5484]

@@hookeaires6637 there was one towards the front and another near the end, both sounded ww2 , must be an air show or fly In near by

[@steveb6103]

The second one did. I wonder if there was an airshow in the area?

Chinese balloon?

[@hookeaires6637]

@@nsv6536 naw, Joe shot those down himself.

[@alexandercluster3003]

The new model 70 maple is one of the nicest guns I’ve ever seen. The old ones are just cool though. Also. Those other people are generally fly fisherman and hikers. They tend to smell like pot and B.O.

I stayed a while in Sorrento FL. About 20 min from you I think. Did they ever get FL-46 finished? I was there when they were doing the construction. And they also were apparently doing something to FL-429 (toll highway)

[@custardthepipecat6584]

Down in Tennessee again sweet. 🙏😺

[@stevenelson25]

I don't care what people say, you get out of the city you feel like shooting a gun it's just part of life.

[@horsewarriors8254]

My Model 70 is a pre-war, and also 30 Gvt 06. Late 1941 production, so just barely pre-war. It is in unmolested, factory condition, although showing some wear from age. I am only the 2nd owner, and purchased it in 2001. 2 owners in 83 years is likely unusual for any firearm. Another neat fact that the numbers geeks will appreciate is that the 5 digit serial number on my rifle has the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, although not in numerical order. When my eyes were younger I could consistently hit a clay pigeon at 100 yards (stationary, and the orange color made it visible) using the buckhorn sights.

[@darryl0720]

Hickok, you could easily get elected to the NRA board of Directors. Assuming you could get your name on the ballot. That would be awesome.

[@rareform6747]

That's one Fast Round !

[@dB_944]

One of my favorite teachers was Mr. Davis in 5th and 6th grade who made us diagram sentences. Best thing along with taking a foreign language to learn grammar. It’s a shame they don’t teach Latin anymore.

It’s the Subaru Outback demographic. 😊

Used to call 'em tree huggers or city folk. At least they like they outdoors, so there is hope.

[@lightweight1974]

I hate to be a cynic, but the way things are going lately, everything being made now will be pre-war. Hang on to 'em people.

[@jarkoer]

12 minutes? I've never been this early to a Hickok video!

[@dougrogers835]

When I was in the 10'th grade (1972). Our English teacher who was a young man could not control the class. The kids were ruthless. He stood up in class one day and broke down into tears and said he can no longer deal with this behavior and walked out the door and never returned. I actually felt sorry for him.

[@hickok45]

Yep, I've seen it almost that bad before with a couple of young teachers. You have to be strict to a certain level or else you just can't survive it. The paradox is, you have to be strict and not put up with chaos in order to be able to be "nice" and enjoy teaching.

[@gregcleveland3498]

Hickok 45--REI served a small group of mountaineers who ordered such things as ice axes and boots back in the 50 and early 60's. All sorts of folks were into that here in the PNW. Later the Business MBA's took over and started selling just about everything. I would guess all demographics buy there and are members for the 10% discount. So a butt-load of folks buy and take advantage through them but it has changed, yes everything has, in the sell sell sell.

[@Lachdanun]

It used to be about customer satisfaction and retention.. now they dont care. Very unfortunate.

[@timkraft4583]

I totally get the REI thing. Some of our other outdoor stores are steering that direction.

[@Moses1973]

My best teacher was my Dad. Grew up though the depression. Had to quit school in the sixth grade. Worked in the coal mines with Gramps. Until a chuck of coal fell on gramps. Dad got him out of that. My dad could do math in his head. Sorry for being long winded. I just had to brag on my Dad.

[@gaidhliglass]

Guess I'm weird then, because I understand about rei...I quit patronizing them years ago when they catered to the glampers, advocated "animal rights" (anti hunting), and health kick. I usually go to Cabella's or Bass Pro shops now. Thanks for sharing.

[@burken18]

That there is a rifle. I always go for a bolt rifle it's relaxing

[@bhoward9378]

I know what you mean about the different outdoor demographics. However, I used to camp with that demographic, and every single one of them wanted to shoot my guns. They enjoyed it too.

[@thomasbowe6822]

Most people don't even know bout John Marlin

[@Pieinear1]

Jack Daniel’s Honey Whiskey really helps if you have a sore throat or a cold starting. It can knock it out. Worth keeping in your medicine cabinet.😊

[@miker9043]

Beautiful rifle ! and best hunting caliber for me !

[@ianide2480]

I fit into no demographic. I think? mostly because I find different things important. I own several firearms, I enjoy the outdoors, I've been building computers long enough to have needed a soldering iron to do my first ever computer repair (and I was shooting my own food before then), I enjoy working on my own vehicles (this includes learning new techniques for dealing with the computerized systems in a car), and this list goes on for a good long ways. If I mention my AR, I get the responses from other people, "oh ya man, I bought the QRXX-9 barrel with grim-comfort furniture, wobbly bobbly GEX-900023434 competition trigger, blah blah blah...." None of which I care about, at all. I get it, but I don't care heh.. The bicycles I got for me and the wife are just decent bikes (not cheap walmart crap) but I couldn't tell you anything beyond aluminum frame and disc brakes. The conversations from the bike nuts are equally unimportant to me, "ya man, I got XRP-H-632 brakes with YN95-Q alloy wheel bearings and quasimoto series B9H derailer, blah blah blah..." I can diagnose/repair all issues I've ever had with my firearms, bikes, and most everything I own but I don't fit in with bike/gun/car/computer/whatever else nuts..

[@timkraft4583]

I'm a NRA member. I think any organization has its problems. But whats important is that we support the poeple that support our sport and the right to bear arms. Simply put those who support freedom. Buy a firearm take a kid hunting. Be a trained firearms instructor. All ways to support the cause.
